'''''The Fairly OddParents''''' is an American [[animated television series]] created by [[Butch Hartman]] for [[Nickelodeon]]. The series follows the adventures of [[Timmy Turner]], a 10-year-old boy with two [[Fairy godmother|fairy godparents]] named [[List of The Fairly OddParents characters#Cosmo and Wanda|Cosmo and Wanda]] who grant him wishes to solve his everyday problems.

The series originated from shorts on Nickelodeon's animation showcase ''[[Oh Yeah! Cartoons]]'' that aired from 1998 to 2002. Due to their popularity, the shorts were greenlit to become a half-hour series, which premiered on March 30, 2001. Originally, the series ended on November 25, 2006, totaling five seasons and 80 episodes, but it was revived in 2008. Production of the series ceased again after Hartman left Nickelodeon in February 2018.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Amidi |first=Amid |author-link=Amid Amidi |date=February 9, 2018 |title=Butch Hartman's Video About Leaving Nick Shows How Creators Can Control Their Brand |url=https://www.cartoonbrew.com/ideas-commentary/butch-hartmans-video-leaving-nick-shows-creators-can-control-brand-156534.html |access-date=2022-09-29 |website=Cartoon Brew |language=en-US}}</ref> ''The Fairly OddParents'' received generally positive reviews and was Nickelodeon's second longest-running animated series, behind ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]'' (1999–present).<ref>{{Cite web |last=Navarro |first=Alexander |date=March 30, 2022 |title=The Fairly OddParents: Fairly Odder Opening Episodes Review: Cosmo and Wanda Are Back |url=https://movieweb.com/the-fairly-oddparents-fairly-odder-review/ |access-date=2022-09-29 |website=MovieWeb |language=en-US}}</ref><!-- The Fairly OddParents spanned 16 years (3 months, 26 days) (excluding the original shorts) with 172 episodes (294 segments), 3 TV movies, and one tie-in special ("77 Secrets of The Fairly OddParents Revealed!").

==Overview==

===General overview===

The show is set in the fictional town of [[Dimmsdale]], which is generally shown to be in northern [[California]]. It follows the day-to-day life of 10-year-old [[Timmy Turner]]. An only child, Timmy is often preyed upon by such adversaries as his evil babysitter, [[Vicky (The Fairly OddParents)|Vicky]], his maniacal fairy-obsessed teacher, [[Denzel Q. Crocker|Mr. Crocker]], and various magical creatures: [[Mama Cosma]], [[Jorgen Von Strangle]], and [[The Pixies (The Fairly OddParents)|The Pixies]].

On February 24, 2021, it was announced that a spin-off live-action series was in development for [[Paramount+]].<ref name="reboot">{{cite web|url=https://deadline.com/2021/02/nickelodeons-dora-the-explorer-the-fairly-odd-parents-get-live-action-series-remakes-on-paramount-1234700539/|title=Nickelodeon's ''Dora the Explorer'' & ''The Fairly OddParents'' Get Live-Action Series Remakes On Paramount+|work=[[Deadline Hollywood]]|author=Peter White|date=February 24, 2021|access-date=February 24, 2021}}</ref> The series ''[[The Fairly OddParents: Fairly Odder]]'' premiered on March 31, 2022.<ref name="FOPremiere2">{{cite magazine |last=Romano |first=Nick |date=February 23, 2022 |title=New 'Fairly Oddparents' Series Shows Live-Action Timmy All Grown Up |url=https://ew.com/tv/fairly-oddparents-live-action-trailer-timmy-all-grown-up-video/ |magazine=Entertainment Weekly |access-date=February 23, 2022}}</ref> A sequel series, titled ''[[The Fairly OddParents: A New Wish]]'', premiered on May 20, 2024.<ref name=":1" />

Just as his situation was particularly grim, he was granted a pair of [[fairy godmother|fairy godparent]]s, named [[Cosmo and Wanda]], who had the power to grant his wishes and were charged with making Timmy happy. Unfortunately, Cosmo is somewhat slow and dumb, and the two often come up with strange dangerous ideas; although well meaning, their wishes often go awry. Wanda, Cosmo's more sensible (and somewhat sarcastic) wife, must devote her time to ensuring both Timmy's and Cosmo's safety. These Fairly OddParents (a pun on "fairy godparents"), mindful of their secretive existence, disguise themselves as various animals and objects in public, always with the same peculiar colors to identify the two: Cosmo is always a light green, and Wanda is always a light pink. The only exception is when they become goldfish; only their eyes stay the same. Other than Timmy, no-one seems to notice the talking birds, and pillows with faces and gold crowns.

==Synopsis==

Most episodes end with a [[deus ex machina]], because Timmy has fairy godparents that grant wishes for him. Many episode plots are resolved by Timmy yelling, "I wish everything was back to normal!" or something very similar. While never directly stated, the moral of the story is often that you can't solve all your problems with quick fixes or easy answers, and that doing the job right the first time is best, even if it sometimes means hard work.

===Premise===

''The Fairly OddParents'' follows Timmy Turner, a 10-year old boy who is neglected by his parents and abused by his teenage [[babysitter]], Vicky. One day, he is granted two fairy godparents, Cosmo and Wanda, who grant his every wish to improve his miserable life. However, these wishes usually backfire badly and cause a series of problems that Timmy must fix. Earlier episodes of the series tend to revolve around Timmy trying to navigate his everyday life at home, at school and elsewhere in town with his friends, Chester and A.J., and occasionally his parents, while also trying to fix a wish gone awry and ultimately, learning a lesson in the end. Later in the series, Timmy wishes that Cosmo and Wanda would have a baby, whom they named Poof, and much later, Timmy gets a pet fairy dog named Sparky. Even later in the series, a new girl called Chloe Carmichael, who loves sharing, animals, and everything that is ecologically friendly, moves into the neighborhood, and Timmy has to share Cosmo and Wanda with her due to a shortage of available fairies.

At the beginning of the series, Vicky was the main antagonist, but as the series progressed, many more villains were introduced, including Denzel Crocker, Timmy's crazed teacher who wishes to prove to the world that fairies exist; Francis, the school bully; Remy Buxaplenty, a young billionaire child, who is set on getting rid of Timmy's fairy godparents due to his immense jealousy towards him for having two fairy godparents compared to his one, named Juandissimo Magnifico, Wanda's ex; Dark Laser, a parody of [[Darth Vader]], who wants to destroy Timmy and the Earth; the Pixies, who are known to wield as much power as fairies, but they treat their magical powers like a business. The Pixies' primary goal is to take control of Fairy World and the Earth; the Anti-fairies, who are similar to the actual fairies, but with polar opposite personalities and character traits. Anti-fairies are also known for causing bad luck; and Norm the Genie, who hatches a plan to gain freedom from his lamp and get revenge on Timmy.

Each episode of the show consists of two cartoons (each approximately 11 minutes long), with an exception of the last three episodes of the first season, which had three ''[[Oh Yeah! Cartoons]]'' shorts in each episode.

===Setting===

The show has a very grown-up and sarcastic humor. This helped give it popularity among children, teens, college students, and adults.

''The Fairly OddParents'' is set in the fictional city of Dimmsdale, California. Dimmsdale has a sign on some mountains near the city that is a parody of the [[Hollywood Sign]]. In the episode "Vicky Loses Her Icky", the Mayor of Dimmsdale unveils the "Welcome to Dimmsdale – Nicest Town on Earth!" sign. However, at the end of the episode, the President of the United States changes the word "Nicest" to "Meanest". Dimmsdale appears to be average-sized, with a downtown containing large buildings, skyscrapers and a city hall, but also containing uptown areas with suburban residences (including the neighborhood where Timmy, his parents and his friends live) and businesses, such as Timmy's school; a hospital; a jail; a sports complex called the Dimmadome, which is named after its founder and owner, Doug Dimmadome, a man who owns a local TV channel and various restaurants and stores, as well as a park in the center of the city. Dimmsdale also appears to have rural farmland located outside of the city. The adults who live in Dimmsdale are notably moronic and often settle situations with things like angry mobs, but they do still manage to form a working and functioning society. In the episode "Which Witch is Which?" it was revealed that Dimmsdale was founded in the 1660s and named after a man called Dale Dimm.

When the show needs to, it switches its ___location to Fairy World, the home of the fairies, which is a floating world located on top of some clouds, colored with an abundance of pink and purple. Fairy World is depicted as a large metropolis with houses, streets, different kinds of buildings, and skyscrapers. Most buildings in Fairy World have crowns and stars above their roofs. The fairies have a civilization like that of humans, but with their primary source of power being magic, which also keeps their world afloat. A large rainbow acts as the bridge between Fairy World and the Earth, although the bridge seems to exist only for decoration since fairies teleport via magic to and from Earth. Fairy World is not actually a part of Earth but is depicted as a separate world in outer space located near Earth's orbit that can only be accessed by magic. Among the most notable landmarks in Fairy World is the glowing entrance sign on the other side of the rainbow bridge and the giant wand located in the center of Fairy World that powers the fairies' magic. Jorgen Von Strangle, an enormous and tough fairy with an [[Austrian accent]] (similar to that of [[Arnold Schwarzenegger]]), acts as the leader of the fairies and Fairy World. Jorgen personally dislikes Timmy at the beginning of the series but warms up to him over time.

The Fairly OddParents first aired as a short film on ''[[Oh Yeah! Cartoons]]'' in [[1998]], which aired some ten episodes of the original show. [[Oh Yeah! Cartoons]] was cancelled in 2001, but Nickelodeon offered to pick up the franchise. This offer was accepted by creator [[Butch Hartman]]. The show began airing its own full-length episodes as its own series in [[2001]], alongside "[[Invader Zim]]".

Another ___location seen in the show is the city of Chincinnati, the home town of Timmy's favorite comic book superhero, the Crimson Chin. Other locations include the dark and twisted Anti-Fairy World, the dark counterpart of Fairy World where the Anti-fairies reside; the dull and gray metropolis of Pixies Inc., home of the Pixies; and Yugopotamia, another planet where Timmy's alien friend Mark Chang lived until the episode "New Squid in Town!" when Timmy invites Mark to live in the Dimmsdale junkyard in order to escape his evil fiancée, Princess Mandie.

===The universe of ''The Fairly OddParents''===

The Fairly OddParents live in Timmy's fishbowl inside a small castle; they are his pet fish when his parents or friends are around. In one episode, Timmy goes inside their fishbowl castle and finds out that they live in a huge, mansion-like castle.

==Voice cast==

Cosmo and Wanda are actually from Fairy World. Fairy World is very different from the real world. In the episode where Cosmo and Wanda go to their high school reunion, Timmy tries to enter the door, but since he discovers that the fairies poof to their rooms, there is no door. Many of the fairies there stated: "Doors are for chumps!" during the episode. Fairy World seems the same as the real world, but different (as in simpler), and there are not as many problems that they have to worry about, compared to Timmy's problems. The landscape is made up mostly of pink and white fluffy clouds; with floating roads connecting houses and buildings (the streets are named after famous magicians and performers) the landscape also changes from episode to episode. The same bridge leads to Fairy Academy in some episodes, and in another it leads to a fairy spa. The majority of episodes have it leading to the main city of Fairy World. They also drew Timmy and Cosmo slightly differently in season 4.

===Usual plot===

Almost every episode of the Fairly OddParents follows the same basic formula, with little or no variation:

* Something keeps annoying Timmy or Cosmo or Wanda or any other member of the cast.

* Timmy wishes for something.

* Wanda thinks it might be a bad wish, but she and Cosmo reluctantly grant it anyways.

* Timmy thinks it is a great wish.

* Cosmo does something completely random and stupid, or a [[running gag]] occurs.

* The wish begins to get bad.

* Wanda warns Timmy that he should probably unwish the wish.

* Crocker ususally discovers the plot about Fairy Godparents, and flips out while saying it.

* Timmy doesn't want to unwish it, and still thinks the wish is cool.

*Cosmo repeats the random and stupid thing from earlier, or the running gag is repeated.

*The wish gets worse, and Timmy decides to unwish it.

*Right before Cosmo and Wanda can unwish it, they usually discover it's against [[Da Rules]]; or, they are unable to unwish it for another reason (Timmy and his Godparents somehow get separated, etc.)

*Cosmo repeats the random and stupid thing from earlier, or the running gag is repeated.

*A loophole or something similar occurs, making it able to be fixed.

*Timmy wishes everything back to normal, and it works.

*Cosmo repeats the random and stupid thing for the last time, or the running gag is seen for the final time before the episode ends.

Prior to the creation of ''The Fairly OddParents'', [[Butch Hartman]] was working at [[Cartoon Network]] on ''[[Dexter's Laboratory]]'' and ''[[Johnny Bravo]]''. In 1997, [[Fred Seibert]] contacted Hartman to come over to his new company, [[Frederator Studios|Frederator Incorporated]], to help pitch ideas as a part of their ''[[Oh Yeah! Cartoons]]'' series which the studio was developing for [[Nickelodeon]]. Hartman initially declined the offer. Several months later, ''Johnny Bravo'' finished and Hartman decided to create his own series instead of going back to working for other studios.{{citation needed|date=June 2022}}

{{Quote box | quote="I wanted initially to do a boy version of ''Cinderella''. [...] I wanted to do a show with magic so I wouldn't have to worry about coming up with ideas, and sometimes that's the problem, The show just sort of writes itself, and there's often too much to choose from and too many opportunities." — Butch Hartman<ref name="fishbowl"/>

Hartman started developing his own series by drawing a picture of a little boy who would become Timmy Turner. Hartman was originally going to name him Mike, after his brother Mike Hartman, but they had a fight that day, so Hartman named him after his other brother Timmy Hartman instead.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Hartman |first=Butch |date=24 March 2016 |title=15 FAIRLY ODD FACTS with Creator Butch Hartman! |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujbzFXjOcdQ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210721031642/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujbzFXjOcdQ |archive-date=21 July 2021 |website=[[YouTube]]}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Steinberg |first=Stephanie |title=Macomb's Butch Hartman creates new Nickelodeon series |url=https://www.detroitnews.com/story/entertainment/television/2017/02/15/butch-hartman-bunsen/97971156/ |access-date=2024-04-28 |website=The Detroit News |language=en-US}}</ref> Hartman wanted Timmy to be able to go anywhere because he never wanted to be stuck for a story transition.<ref>{{cite book|title=Not Just Cartoons: Nicktoons! | quote=I wanted to make a show about a boy who could go anywhere, because I never wanted to be stuck for a story transition.—Butch Hartman | page=134 | isbn=978-1595910431 | author=Jerry Beck | author-link=Jerry Beck | year=2007 | publisher=[[Melcher Media]]}}</ref> Hartman was originally going to give Timmy science powers, but decided against it due to ''[[Dexter's Laboratory]]'' having recently come out. Instead, he decided to give Timmy a magic friend. He drew Venus (later renamed Wanda) first and then decided that, because he had never heard of a fairy godfather before, to draw Cosmo.<ref name=":0" /> After coming up with the entire premise for the cartoon in about fifteen minutes, Hartman first pitched the idea to [[Hanna-Barbera]] and then to Cartoon Network, both of whom turned it down. Hartman then went back to Seibert at Nickelodeon and successfully pitched it to them for ''Oh Yeah! Cartoons''.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |last=Inoa |first=Christopher |date=March 30, 2021 |title='Wands and wings, floaty crowny things': Looking back as Fairly OddParents turns 20 |url=https://www.syfy.com/syfy-wire/fairly-oddparents-nickelodeon-20th-anniversary-butch-hartman |access-date=2022-09-29 |website=SYFY Official Site |language=en-US}}</ref>

Cartoons'', which aired on Nickelodeon from September 4, 1998, to March 23, 2001.{{citation needed|date=June 2022}} Due to the success of the shorts, Nickelodeon picked up ''The Fairly OddParents'' for a full-length series alongside fellow ''Oh Yeah! Cartoons'': ''[[ChalkZone]]'' and ''[[My Life as a Teenage Robot]]''. In 2000, Nickelodeon ordered seven 23-minute episodes for the series' first season, which premiered on March 30, 2001 (just one week after the final Oh Yeah! short){{citation needed|date=June 2022}} in the half-hour before fellow Nicktoon ''[[Invader Zim]]'' made its debut.<ref name="fishbowl">{{cite web|url=https://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9A00E7D8133CF936A15750C0A9679C8B63|title=Fishbowl Fairies and an Alien in Exile|first=Kathryn|last=Shattuck|date=March 15, 2001|work=[[The New York Times]]}}</ref>

==Popularity==

Although ''The Fairly OddParents'' was not very popular in its first year, it began to catch on later, attracting both a child and adult fan base. ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]'' was the only thing keeping The Fairly OddParents from becoming Nickelodeon's most highly rated show at this point.

Unlike the later series, the animation in the original shorts is not as smooth and the designs are notably different (including Timmy's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Turner, who are only seen from the neck down with their faces hidden in the [[Television pilot|pilot episodes]] and appear to be more intelligent than they appeared to be in the proceeding series, yet still easily duped by Vicky's abhorrent actions). Other notable differences include Timmy Turner, who was voiced by [[Mary Kay Bergman]] in the Oh Yeah! shorts rather than Tara Strong in the series (Strong would dub over Bergman's dialogue in the Oh Yeah! shorts to establish better continuity). Cosmo is significantly more intelligent than he appears to be in the proceeding series while Wanda is shown to be ditzy. Vicky is also much less evil than in the current series; she has a little brother in the pilot episode before it was changed to a little sister later on in the shorts, and she also calls Timmy by his name as opposed to the more often-used "twerp".

Early 2003 was the peak of popularity for Fairly OddParents. Its ratings were extremely high, and it very briefly passed ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]''. The show saw its very quick rise to the top and fall in summer of 2003 when the show's first TV movie, ''[[Abra-Catastrophe!]]'' was aired. The film was a success and many products were merchandised.

===Original run (2001–2006)===

After Abra-Catastrophe, creator [[Butch Hartman]] created a new project for Nickelodeon called [[Danny Phantom]]. Though split between two shows, Hartman continues to play a major role in both and does as much "hands on" work - on each - as he can.

Upon its premiere, ''The Fairly OddParents'' was immediately popular and quickly became the second-highest-rated children's program among kids ages 2–11 on both network and cable television, behind Nickelodeon's own ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]''.<ref name="Suzanne"/><ref name="Dennis"/> The series managed to briefly steal ''SpongeBob'''s spot as the number one highest rated children's television program in mid-2003.<ref name="Suzanne">{{cite web|title='OddParents' soaks up 'SpongeBob' spot|url=https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-2003-08-19-0308190258-story,amp.html|author=Ryan C., Suzanne|date=August 19, 2003|publisher=Chicago Tribune}}</ref><ref name="Dennis"/> ''The Fairly OddParents'' also attracted a wide audience, appealing to kids as well as to teenagers and adults, with 14.2 million kids 2–11 tuning in each week, 10.8 million adult viewers per week and was the number one series on television among tween audiences (9–14).<ref name="Dennis">{{cite web|url=https://slate.com/culture/2004/04/the-fairly-odd-parents-is-smart-enough-for-parents.amp|title=The Fairly OddParents is a cartoon that's smart enough for the 'rents|first=Dennis|last=Cass|date=April 30, 2004|publisher=Slate Magazine|access-date=March 15, 2019|archive-date=December 4, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211204110622/https://slate.com/culture/2004/04/the-fairly-odd-parents-is-smart-enough-for-parents.amp|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.awn.com/news/fairly-oddparents-butch-hartman-signs-multi-year-deal-nick|title=Fairly OddParents' Butch Hartman Signs Multi-Year Deal With Nick|publisher=[[Animation World Network]]|first=Rick|last=DeMott|date=February 23, 2005}}</ref>

On January 24, 2006, Hartman announced on his forum<!--<ref>{{cite web|url=http://butchhartman.com/forumIII/index.php?showtopic=7072|title=butchhartman.com|work=butchhartman.com|access-date=July 23, 2015}}</ref>--> that Nickelodeon had ceased production of the show. "[[The Jimmy Timmy Power Hour]] 3: The Jerkinators!" is the fifth-season finale in production order and was intended to be the [[series finale]], airing on July 21, 2006. However, Nickelodeon broadcast the episode "Timmy the Barbarian!/No Substitute for Crazy!" after "The Jerkinators!" as the fifth-season finale in airing order, on November 25 of that year.{{Citation needed|date=December 2019}}

However, when the show aired its new third season later that year, it was met with a wave of criticism. With new voices for principal characters such as Chester and A.J., many felt that the show had been dumbed-down from its original [[double entendre]] style of comedy. Jokes became more "over the top" and repetitive (such as when Timmy was watching a television show with commentary similar to [[Girls Gone Wild]]) as well as featuring much more immature [[Toilet humour|potty humor]], (which the show previously used on minimum levels). It began to take an exaggerated bout on derogatory views against women (mainly displayed by Cosmo against Wanda) and more "gross-out" scenes. Allegedly many older viewers tuned out, and slowly the show's ratings plummeted for a while. Then ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]'' bounced back in as Nick's highest rated show, although it is assumed that it has been in a ratings slump during the past few years. By [[2005]], though, ''The Fairly OddParents'' remained at its seemingly permanent position as Nickelodeon's second most highly rated show, despite a slight decline in popularity. Some fans blame [[Danny Phantom]] for its decline due to Butch concentrating on that show recently.

===Revival (2007–2012)===

A second Fairly OddParents TV movie was made, titled ''[[Channel Chasers]]''. Since then, there has been other specials, like ''The Secret Origin of Denzel Crocker'', ''[[The Jimmy Timmy Power Hour]]'' (with sequels), ''[[Crash Nebula]]'', and ''[[School's Out: The Musical]]''.

On February 2, 2007, Hartman announced on his forum<!--<ref>{{cite web|url=http://butchhartman.com/forumIII/index.php?showtopic=12732|title=butchhartman.com|work=ButchHartman.com|access-date=July 23, 2015}}</ref>--> that Nick granted ''The Fairly OddParents'' twenty more episode slots, making sure the show resumed production. Later on July 7, 2007, a special titled ''77 Secrets of the Fairly OddParents Revealed'' hinted that a new character would join the series.{{citation needed|date=June 2022}}

The [[The Fairly OddParents (season 10)|tenth season]] of ''The Fairly OddParents'' began with a special called "The Big Fairy Share Scare!", which introduced another new main character named Chloe Carmichael, Timmy's neighbor who he is forced to share Cosmo and Wanda with due to a fairy shortage.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/video/entertainment/the-10th-season-of-butch-hartmans-fairly-oddparents-is-as-crazy-as-ever/2016/01/13/515272ec-ba2e-11e5-85cd-5ad59bc19432_video.html|title=The 10th season of Butch Hartman's 'Fairly OddParents' is as crazy as ever|date=January 13, 2016|newspaper=[[The Washington Post]]}}</ref> The tenth season aired from January 15, 2016, to July 26, 2017, on both [[Nickelodeon]] and [[Nicktoons (American TV channel)|Nicktoons]].

* ''[[The Fairly OddParents: Abra-Catastrophe!|Abra-Catastrophe!]]''

* ''[[The Jimmy Timmy Power Hour]]''

* ''[[Crash Nebula]]''

* ''[[Channel Chasers]]''

* ''[[School's Out: The Musical]]''

* ''[[The Jimmy Timmy Power Hour 2: When Nerds Collide]]''

* ''[[The Jimmy Timmy Power Hour 3: The Jerkinators]]''

There have also been three tie-ins with special episode [[Crossover (fiction)#Animation|crossovers]] involving the Nickelodeon computer-animated series ''[[The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius]]'' under the title "The Jimmy-Timmy Power Hour" (the first alone, the second and third with the subtitles "When Nerds Collide!" and "The Jerkinators!", respectively); the three main characters from Fairly OddParents meet with the main characters from ''Jimmy Neutron,'' Jimmy, Sheen, Carl, Cindy, and Libby, and often cross between each of their worlds of 2D and 3D animation.

==Trivia==

*In the episode "Escape from Unwish Island" the names of various stars and celebrities (which includes [[Carrot Top]], [[Vanilla Ice]], both Milli & Vanilli, as well as others) can be seen on their "unwish cabinets". It can be assumed that they once had godparents as well.

*According to a fan poll, Season 5 is the least liked season (they say it jumped the shark with plot lines that just weren't FOP material). Fans were hoping Season 6 would be better and it was sort of better.

*In the second pilot episode, Cosmo and Wanda jump into a TV and star in a fictional series called "I Love Wanda." This is an obvious spoof of [[Lucille Ball]] and [[Desi Arnaz]]'s show "[[I Love Lucy]]."

*In "Channel Chasers", Timmy possibly marries Tootie or Trixie. His children are Tommy and Tammy. Tammy has the same glasses as present-day Tootie, but has Trixie's hairstyle and headband, and Tommy has black hair, like present-day Tootie/Trixie.

* '''[[Jorgen Von Strangle]]''', a fairy with a German-style name, has his name changed to '''Jean-Claude van Ramme''' (spoof of ''[[Jean Claude Van Damme]]'') in the version aired in [[Germany]].

* All of Cosmo's unfortunate pets in the episode "Sleep Over and Over" seem to be named after ''[[The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius|Jimmy Neutron]]'' characters: '''[[Carl Wheezer|Carl]] the Ant'''; '''[[Cynthia "Cindy" Aurora Vortex|Cindy]] the Bee'''; and '''[[Jimmy Neutron|Jimmy]] the Cat''', which might have some relation to the ant, bee and cat (A, B, C).

* Cat-Man is an old villain in the old ''[[Batman]]'' comic series, who used cat themed objects to defy both Batman and Catwoman. In the series, he is voiced by Adam West, who played [[Batman]] in the 60's TV show.

* In the [[German language]] version, '''[[fairy]]''' was translated as '''[[:de:Elfen|elfen]]''', which means '''[[elf]]''' in German.

* [[Jorgen Von Strangle]] doesn't appear to have [[wing]]s, however, in one early episode, he is shown to have a [[jet pack]] instead.

* After it aired on [[Super RTL]] in [[Germany]], this [[Nicktoon]] airs on [[Disney Channel]], although the German version of [[Nickelodeon (TV channel)|Nickelodeon]] was launched on [[September 12]], [[2005]].

* In [[Italy]], it airs on [[Jetix]], although Nickelodeon is available.

** [[Latin America]] / [[Brazil]] has a similar case.

* The ''Wall 2 Wall Mart'' is a parody of the retail chain [[Wal-Mart]].

* There is a coincidental parallel between ''Fairly OddParents'' and the [[The Walt Disney Company|Disney]]/[[Square Enix]] video game ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'': [[Final Fantasy X]]'s [[Rikku]] (who was voiced by Tara Strong) is a fairy of sorts in said game, clashing with the ''Fairly OddParents''' theme (which is, of course, fairies) and the fact that both Rikku and Timmy share the same voice actress.

* Smoof is used as a curse word in this series.

** Smoof may also be the Fairly OddParent's equivalent of [[Hemp]], which can be used to make many varieties of products. This ties in with Mr. Birkenbake having a [[Hippie]] lifestyle.

* In ''Vicky Loses Her Icky'', the [[President of the United States]] has a button he can press to destroy Pluto in case he turns evil. This is a parody of the suitcase from the ''[[The Kid Who Ran for President]]'' series, which can launch a nuclear bomb in the wrong hands.

* In ''The Crimson Chin Meets Mighty Mom and Dyno Dad'', Timmy cleans his room twice; 1) before Mighty Mom and Dyno Dad fight the villains from the comic book and 2) afterwards.

*In ''The Big Superhero Wish'',Hawk Gal is a parody of [[Hawk Girl]]. For a example,both have [[wing]]s.

*The '''Power Pals''' are a parody of the [[Justice League of America]], who are a group of the most popular D.C. Comics superheroes. The Power Pals consisted of Super Sam, Wet Willy, Joan Jet, and Dark Mark, which are parodies of some of the members of the [[Justice League]], [[Superman]], [[Wonder Woman]], [[Batman]], [[Aquaman]], and [[The Flash]]. The Power Pals in appear in the episode of the same name.

* In ''Escape From Unwish Island'', Timmy, Cosmo, & Wanda go to a unwish storage building. When they go in you can see all the other stored wishes and one of them was [[Walt Disney]], the founder of [[The Walt Disney Company]]. You can also see a picture of [[Duran Duran]] and [[Vanilla Ice]] on one of the file cabinets.

*If every fairy in the universe wants the same child, the matter can only be settled via a ''Rage in the Cage'' match, which is a parody of [[WWE]]'s ''Hell In A Cell'' match.

* People tend to note that Wanda is fat, since there are many jokes about her gaining weight, though this, apparently, is not actually true.

*Cosmo asks Timmy to wish for world peace in some episodes.

* The name Wanda is a pun on the word wand, and the name Cosmo is a pun on the word [[cosmos]].

* In the episode, ''The Secret Origin of Denzel Crocker'', where Timmy goes back in time to try and see why Crocker is a mean tempered fairy-obsessed teacher, right before Timmy enters the 1980's, you can see a [[De Lorean DMC-12|De Lorean]] vanishing from in front of the school leaving two fire trails behind. This is an obvious reference to ''[[Back to the Future]]'' which first came out in [[1985]].

*The episode "Hard Copy", where which Timmy makes a live sized "Darth Laser" is an obvious reference to [[Darth Vader]] and the rest of the episode is filled with other references to ''[[Star Wars]]'', including when Wanda turns her wand into what looks like a [[lightsaber]].

*There was a movie titled ''[[The Fairly OddParents Movie]]'' planned for [[2006]], but was replaced by "The Jerkinators" (the final episode of the series). However acording to IMDB it will be released as a [[direct-to-video]] film in [[2007]].

*Nickelodeon has announced that the series finale of ''The Fairly OddParents'' will be ''[[The Jimmy Timmy Power Hour 3: The Jerkinators]]'' premiering on [[June 1]], [[2006]], bringing the total amount of episodes to 80.

*There were short [[Macromedia Flash]] cartoons featuring the [[Crimson Chin]] made for [[Nickelodeon TV channel|Nickelodeon]]'s website in [[2001]]. Some of the segments aired on the first season episodes of ''The Fairly OddParents'' that were compiled from the [[Oh Yeah! Cartoons]] shorts, were included on ''The Fairly OddParents: Superhero Spectacle'' DVD and sometimes are seen on [[Nicktoons Network]] (but all versions of the cartoons besides the internet versions are somewhat edited).

*Zappys from "Blondas Have More Fun", are from the [[Oh Yeah! Cartoons]] short, "The Zappys".

*In Teeth for Two, Timmy's teeth were loose. They were also loose in the [[Oh Yeah! Cartoons]] short, "The Zappys".

*When the theme song ends, Vicky's head changes. However, in "The Switch Glitch", Cosmo's head changed. In one episode, she has no head gag; she disappears instead.

*In the episode "Tim-Visible", when Timmy becomes invisible, a lot of comments are related to ghosts and haunted things, sort of referring to [[Danny Phantom]]. Some of these jokes include: 'Haunted locker room!', 'Haunted chalk board!', 'Ghost frog? The school is haunted!' Timmy is also called a ghost boy, referring to Danny as well. This would've been more than a coincidence if the episode had not been made a couple years before the [[Danny Phantom]] series premiered.

*Characters in this show, appear to be flat (as explained in [[Jimmy Timmy Power Hour]] when a 2D Jimmy fell down like a piece of cardboard, silmar to classic cartoons). Also, the characters have outlines, but have the same pyshics.

*In "Odd Ball", "The Odd Couple" and "Nega Timmy",a V-Cube can be seen. A V-Cube is a [[Nintendo GameCube]] and [[X-Box]] parody.

*The episode "Shelf Life" has parodies of books, like Dummies books and [[The Cat in the Hat]].

*In the show, the summer has appeared several times. Each time, the kids are excited about the "one and only summer" and each time they return to school with the same teacher.

*The episode "The Good Ol' Days" pays homage to classic cartoons, and features Grandpa Pappy, Timmy's paternal grandfather.

*In the series, Timmy has about two or three birthdays and still having ten years old.

*The episode "Parent Hoods", has spoofs of [[Indiana Jones]] scenes.

*For several years, [[Cosmo and Wanda]] have been [[mascots]] for [[Nickelodeon Studios]], appearing in its [[commercial]]s and [[program opening]]s, meaning the series is a sponsor of the studios.

*[[March]] was the same month that [[ChalkZone]] appeared, another [[Oh Yeah! Cartoons]] spin-off.

*''Mike E. Mozzarella's Pizza Funhouse'' is a parody of [[Chuck E. Cheese's]].

*In the episode [[The Jimmy Timmy Power Hour 2: When Nerds Collide]], parodies of [[Toys "R" Us]] are seen.

*''Dimmsdale Fried Chicken'' is a parody of [[Kentucky Fried Chicken]].

*In some episodes, Timmy can be seen playing a [[Game Boy]] parody.

*The Tooth Fairy is obviously modeled after [[DC comics]] [[Wonder Woman]].

*Timmy's hat is pink because the person who was drawing him. Originally, [[Butch Hartman]]'s blue marker ran out of ink. (In the show, they explained it as Timmy's parents expecting a daughter and bought a pink hat for her.)

*Butch Hartman has confirmed to be a fan of [[The Simpsons]]; therefore, it's possible that the Turners' rivalry with next-door neighbors the Dinkleburgs may have been based off of the Simpsons' rivalry with the Flanders.

*The Crimson Chin is a allusion of the [[Crimson Avenger]], which the Crimson Chin parodies the Crimson Avenger's costume and his name.

*[[Danny Phantom (character)|Danny Phantom]] originally appeared as its background character in this series.

*In the episode ''Father Time'', Timmy goes back in time and meets [[Cosmo and Wanda|70's Cosmo and Wanda]], and they are the godparents of [[Bill Gates]], but in the episode ''The Secret Origin of Denzel Crocker'',Timmy goes back in time and meets 70's Cosmo and Wanda, but they are [[Denzel Q. Crocker|Crocker]]'s [[fairy godparents]].

**In "Channel Chasers",[[Cosmo and Wanda]]'s godparents are Tommy&Tammy.

*In the episode ''Imaginary Gary'', when Timmy is trapped in the pile of 5-year-old toys, you will see a box that says '''Goody Land''' on it. This is a spoof of a [[board game]] called ''[[Candy Land]]''.

*Some people think [[Jorgen Von Strangle]] is the same voice of [[Squidward]] from [[SpongeBob SquarePants]] (Rodger Bumpass).

*In one episode, Timmy wishes to be CheeseBob SquarePants. This is a parody of [[SpongeBob SquarePants]].

*Billy Blanks (a star of karate movies and creator of [[Tae-Bo]]) appears in "Kung Timmy".

*A upcoming [[Nintendo DS]] game based on this series is planned.

*The episode ''Catman Meets The Crimson Chin'' is actually a parody of what happened when [[Batman]] and [[Superman]] appear together in comic books.

In 2004, Hartman revealed his intentions to make a ''Crash Nebula'' [[Spin-off (media)|spin-off]] series. The [[Television pilot|pilot episode]] "Crash Nebula" was aired as part of the show's [[The Fairly OddParents (season 5)|fifth season]], with the pilot focusing on a young boy named Sprig Speevak (voiced by [[James Arnold Taylor]]), who meets various types of strange aliens as he attends a school in outer space, making a few friends and enemies. [[Nickelodeon]] decided not to pick up the series.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.manic-expression.com/top-5-rejected-nickelodeon-shows-or-pilots-that-should-never-be-made/|title=Top 5 Rejected Nickelodeon Shows or Pilots That Should Never Be Made|author=Manic Expression|date=September 20, 2014}}</ref>

In 2006, Hartman stated that he was still confident and would try to get the spin-off greenlit in the future. He also wrote a script entitled ''Crash Nebula: The Movie'' for [[Paramount Pictures]], but the film was canceled due to its similarities to [[Walt Disney Pictures|Disney]]'s ''[[Sky High (2005 film)|Sky High]]''.{{citation needed|date=June 2022}} However, no other news for the ''Crash Nebula'' IP has been announced since then, with it remaining as a fictitious television series in ''The Fairly OddParents'' that Timmy Turner is a fan of. The episode in the fifth season adds an introduction where Timmy is excited for Sprig's origin story, with Cosmo and Wanda making wild guesses.

=== Sequel series ===

{{Main|The Fairly OddParents: A New Wish}}

In 2023, Nickelodeon & [[Paramount Global]] applied to register "''The Fairly OddParents: A New Wish"'' with the [[United States Patent and Trademark Office|USPTO]] under several [[International (Nice) Classification of Goods and Services|NICE classes]]. A screenwriter from Season 9 of the original series confirmed a new project was in development.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Schwimmer |first=Alec |date=October 2022 |title=Linkedin |url=https://www.linkedin.com/in/alec-schwimmer-838ab1b}}</ref> On February 23, 2024, further details about the series were revealed, including an impending [[Netflix]] debut, the return of [[Daran Norris]] and [[Susanne Blakeslee]] as Cosmo and Wanda respectively, and the focus on a new main character, Hazel Wells.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.animationmagazine.net/2024/02/nickelodeon-returns-to-a-magical-classic-with-the-fairly-oddparents-a-new-wish/|title=Nickelodeon Returns to a Magical Classic with 'The Fairly OddParents: A New Wish'|work=[[Animation Magazine]]|author=Mercedes Milligan|date=February 23, 2024|access-date=February 23, 2024}}</ref> It premiered on May 20, 2024 on [[Nickelodeon]].<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |last=Dunn |first=Jack |date=2024-05-01 |title='Fairly OddParents' Sequel Series Drops First Trailer |url=https://variety.com/2024/tv/news/fairly-oddparents-a-new-wish-trailer-premiere-date-1235988790/ |access-date=2024-05-02 |website=Variety |language=en-US}}</ref>

==Reception==

===Critical reception===

Betsy Wallace from [[Common Sense Media]] gave the series 3 of 5 stars saying, “Nickelodeon airs some of the most creative and expertly animated cartoons on television, and it has another winner with ''The Fairly OddParents''.”<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.commonsensemedia.org/tv-reviews/the-fairly-oddparents|title=The Fairly OddParents review|first=Betsy|last=Wallace|publisher=Common Sense Media|date=2004}}</ref>

Dennis Cass from ''[[Slate (magazine)|Slate Magazine]]'' favorably compared the series' writing to that of ''[[Animaniacs]]'' and praised the series' broad appeal.<ref name="Dennis"/>

Some critics have criticized Nickelodeon's decision to continue production of the show with numerous revivals and spinoffs, and have suggested that what they perceive to be the show's subsequent decline in quality may have hindered the show's lasting legacy. Spencer Bollettieri of [[Comic Book Resources]] assessed in 2024: "As the series dragged on and Nickelodeon kept trying to revive it, the quality started to slip, with an overstuffed cast and a string of failed spinoffs, including ''The Fairly OddParents: Fairly Odder''. [...] In the end, ''The Fairly OddParents'' proves it's better to leave the party early than be wished to leave."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Bollettieri |first=Spencer |date=2024-10-21 |title=10 Disappointing Nickelodeon Cartoons That Should Be Forgotten |url=https://www.cbr.com/disappointing-nickelodeon-cartoons/ |access-date=2025-07-08 |website=CBR |language=en}}</ref>
