Huh boy. Another "dynamic duo" series with bland-named characters. It doesn't sound like you gave them personalites, either.
The first thing you have to do to make a series is create the main characters. I see you gave them (average) names already. You have to give them personalities. What adjectives would describe your character? This is important because you need to know how a character would react in a given situation. Next, you need suppourting characters. They're the people that the main characters interact with in the story. When a supporting character appears, he should be there for a reason, something that relates to the story. Using your idea as an example, Larry and Bob could run into a neighbor or a crook who wants the treasure. They could also meet a museum curator who wants the treasure in an exhibit. Suppourting characters are the main thing that moves a series away from mediocrity, all the typical dynamic duos have just the two main characters.
Next, you need to come up with a story idea. You've done that. Now, you need to go into detail about the plot. I'll help you with that part. Just one thing about the exposition: I think the treasure should be in a chest, like a pirate treasure. Well, after Larry finds the treasure, he's going to think he's rich, going out and buying things, dragging the chest with him. Then, people start to take interest in it; buisnesses, a greedy neighbor, a museum (because it's a pirate's treasure), crooks, just to name a few. After a while, people start to chase after Larry and his treasure. Larry ends up going to a appraiser and finds out the treasure is almost worthless.

Not literally dead, just no longer interested in Lego or animation.
