From Butch Hartman, the creator of the hit Nicktoon, The Fairly OddParents, unveils the funny, fantastic action-packed adventures of Danny Fenton, who straddles two worlds as a shy freshman at Casper High and a heroic phantom-fighter with ghostly superpowers. With his best friends, techno-geek Tucker and free-thinking Goth girl Sam, he thwarts the misdeeds of menacing ghosts; and stumbles through daily social hurdles. - Danny Phantom Press Kit. "It's a great comedy/action show that I think you and all the other Nickelodeon animation fans are really going to love. And it's a bit different than anything Nickelodeon has done before. They're 22-minute stories, which is a different storytelling format for us." - Butch Hartman Not seeing is believing..

Character Guide:

Danny Fenton/Phantom - On the outside, Danny's a nervous, clumsy 14 year old boy who just tries to fit in with the crowd. But underneath that exterior, Danny's a super hero! After an accident in his parents' lab, Danny was given some ghostly powers. Half ghost, Danny can see, hear, and talk to other paranormal beings - not to mention battle them on a regular basis to save his friends, family and, you know, the rest of the planet. Too bad he's still afraid of them! Jazz Fenton - Danny may have the super powers in his family, but Jazz has the looks, the brains, and the social skills. Being the older sister and all, Jazz keeps Danny's big secret. Not only because she's Danny's older sister, but because she has to mountain a perfect image in front of her friends and school-mates. Jack Fenton (Dad) - If Danny seems a little strange sometimes, it's probably from the genetics of the bizzare behavior of his Dad, Jack. Geared up in his bright-red "test pilot suit," Jack is always trying to prove the existence of ghosts. He always jumps into action before thinking and usually makes a bad situation worse. For Danny, fighting ghosts and surviving high school is a piece of cake compared to keeping Jack out of trouble. Maddie Fenton (Mom) - Maddie is absolutely brilliant. Need to know why walls suddenly bleed, why possessed statues are reciting Shakespeare, or how to get rid of that ghost that's been following you for days? Maddie's got the answer. But all that time spent with out-of-this-world weirdness (including Mr. Fenton) has kind of had an affect on Maddie. Let's just say you'd most likely find her building a high-tech ghost gadget than baking cookies. Tucker Foley - If talking was a superpower, Tucker would be the king of superheroes. No matter how many ghosts are chasing him, Tucker just keeps on chatting, and it gets him and Danny into loads of trouble. Danny still likes him as a friend, although it would be nice if Tucker kept his mouth shut and let Danny handle the paranormal activity.

Samantha "Sam" Manson - Sam and Danny ARE NOT A COUPLE! They're just really, really good friends who share an almost psychic connection. Get it? Well, Samantha doesn't care if you don't believe her, anyway. Sam is a Goth girl and Ultra-Recyclo Vegetarian with an attitude and she could care less about what others think of her. Luckily for Danny, Sam is into the paranormal and is super smart, she's usually a big help to Danny getting him out of tight ghost-jams. Mr. Lancer - The Vice Principal and English teacher at Danny's school, Mr. Lancer is all about following the rules. He has no clue about Danny's phantom status, but it wouldn't matter anyway. Mr. Lancer just can't handle any kid (phantom or not) breaking the rules. Which means Danny has to find a creative ways to battle ghosts on school days if he wants to save Casper High and actually graduate. Dash Baxter - He may be a ninth-grader like Danny, but Dash is the big man on campus at Casper High. Guys want to be him and girls want to date him. And this football hero likes nothing more than harassing Danny. But the tables have turned now that Danny has ghost powers. Danny sometimes can't resist making Dash look like a fool. Which, considering Dash's brain compared to the rest of his body, isn't that hard to do.

Theme Song:

He's a phantom, Danny Phantom, Danny Phantom, Phantom...
Young Danny Fenton, he was just 14, When his parents built a very strange machine,
It was designed to view a world unseen, He's gonna catch em all 'cause he's Danny Phantom.

When it didn't quite work his folks, they just quit,
But then Danny took a look inside of it,
There was a great big flash, everything just changed,
His molecules got all rearranged.

Phantom, Phantom...

When he first woke up, he realized, He had snowy white hair, and glowy green eyes,
He could walk through walls, disappear, and fly,
He was much more unique than the other guy,
And it was then that he knew what he had to do,
He had to stop all the ghosts that were comin' through,
He's here to fight for me and you!

He's gonna catch 'em all 'cause he's Danny Phantom,
Gonna catch 'em all 'cause he's Danny Phantom,
Gonna catch 'em all 'cause he's... Danny Phantom.

Fenton Inventions:

• Fenton Ghost Portal - A device which looks very similar to a wormhole door, however, it allows ghosts to come through it to enter the Real World and people to enter the Ghost Zone. It has a barrier across it, which spontaneously opens and closes. When Danny was inside it, his hand accidentally pressed against the "on" button, which activated the portal. This caused the ectoplasmic energy inside the portal to fuse with Danny's genes to make him half ghost, complete with ghost powers.
• Fenton Thermos - normal thermos that captures ghosts and contains them in there until somebody releases them. After a ghost is captured, it is put in a slot next to a ghost portal, so the ghost will be transferred to the Ghost Zone. To Jack's knowledge, it doesn't work; but Danny managed to fuse his ectoplasmic energy with it to activate it, making it accessible to both ghosts and humans.
• Fenton Xtractor - A vacuum that can harm ghosts and suck a ghost out of a human's body.
• Fenton Finder - A mechanical device that uses satellites to track down ghosts. It later comes with a screen which displays the ghost located.

It is also capable of cramming a ghost into its small cubic container. • Fenton Unlodger - A device used to unlodge the other inventions. • Ghost Gloves - Gloves that are so powerful that nothing can break their grip, allowing the wearer to handle ghosts/ghost-powered beings. • Fenton Ghost Catcher - Sort of like an "Indian Dream Catcher," but it captures ghosts and not dreams. After going through it, a ghost is unleashed. • Fenton Family Ghost Assault Vehicle - Also known as the "Fenton RV." It is a van that is monitored by the Fenton On-Board Computer, plus it contains many devices in it that can be used to harm ghosts, including a freeze ray, an ectoplasmic energy beam, lightning, ectoplasmic goo, an anti-ghost shield, etc.
• Specter Speeder - A hovercraft-like vehicle that has state of the art spirit plane technology including an earthly item scanner and a super- cup holder. It can be used in both the Ghost Zone and Earth. It phases through anything in the Ghost Zone and is also capable of cramming many ghosts inside it.

• Fenton Helmet - A mind-controlled helmet that can be used as a game controller for a computer game.
• Fenton Foamer - Ejects green ectoplasmic goo which clears an area that has ghosts. • Fenton Genetic Lock - It closes the Fenton Portal until a Fenton puts their thumb on the pad, which opens it. • Fenton Anti-Creep Stick - A regular baseball bat with the word 'Fenton' on it. • Fenton Bazooka - A type of gun that shoots a green substance into the air, which creates a mini portal into the Ghost Zone, however its ammo is limited.
• Anti-Ghost Shield - A shield that is nearly impenetrable to ghosts and ghost-possessed humans> However, some versions allow ghosts already inside the shield to get out of it. Some versions also shock half-ghosts who try to go ghost inside it. The Fenton RV has a mini ghost shield, but lasts for only fifteen minutes.
• Fenton Specter Deflector - A belt that repels and weakens any ghost that comes in direct contact of the person wearing it. • Jack-A-Nine-Tails - A nine-tail whip, like a cat o' nine tails.
• Fenton Machete - A regular jungle sword.
• Emergency Op-Center - The metal contraption that is located on top of FentonWorks. It can be controlled using the secret control panel. It also contains many things along with a ghost shield generator, a siren, a weathervane, and a "Go Fenton" logo with Jack's face on it.
• Fenton Pants - Part of the Ecto-Skeleton, which gives the user the ability to run at super fast speed and the ability to kick with enhanced strength.

  Yes I'm sure there's a lot of you here who doubt that Danny Phantom will ever come back. But for those of you who are still fighting to get Danny Phantom back there is still hope. As long as your willing to fight to save Danny Phantom and go the distance it can happen. The best example before was Family Guy, now the best example is Futurama. Futurama was cancelled back in 2003 and that was that. But the Futurama fans never gave up on the series and guess what? Not only did it come back in made for direct DVD movies, it's now back for 26 brand new episodes ordered by Comedy Central. It took six years for the fans to win this one, but it was a fight the fans in the end won and it was so worth it, as I'm a huge Futurama fan myself. The link to the article is right here, feell free to check it out. http://tvguide.sympatico.msn.ca/TVNews/Articles/090610_futurama_returns_DW So never count Danny Phantom out or those fans who are still fighting to save Danny Phantom. It might take time, a lot of time. But sooner or later Viacom/Nick will cave in, especially after they start to realize that renewing a show sometimes has it's benefits like Family Guy and now Futurama. less «

• Disappointment.

  I enjoyed the series finale of Dp but why did they have to have Danny reveal his identity like that the secret ID is one of the things that made the show fun to watch.

  Best Show EVER!!! hide « show »

  Nothing can beat this show. One reason is all the different ghosts you see on the show, from the hero of the show, a halfa named Danny, to the halarious to watch Box Ghost, the evil fulture Danny (Dark Danny/Dan Phantom), and the popstar ghost Ember. Another is the whole Danny's life in general, a technoligy geek-meat conisiour friend (Tucker) and the Goth-ultura recycluo vegetarian (however you spell it) friend with a crush on him (Danny is clueless), a sister (Jazz) who thinks she is a adult, and two ghost hunters for parents. All and all this is my favorite show.

  My explaination for the portrayal of the Ghosts At the beginning of this series they were portrayed as you would expect. the spirits of deceased people. Ex: poindexter lunch lady Desiree dairy king and so on. but as the story went on it sort of changed. hide « show »

  The main reason i believe was for the sake of the target audience. seven to fourteen year olds. The idea of having ghost villains was good in theory, but it was beginning to become to Death-oriented for such a young demographic.
  the change happened somewhere around the episode fanning the flames. it this episode a ghost called ember sings parts a song called "Remember". The full song was not allowed in the show because of the lyrics. take a look.
  
  It was, it was September,
  Wind blow, the dead leaves fall.
  To you, I did surrender,
  Two weeks you didn't call.
  
  Your life goes on without me,
  My life, a losing game.
  But you should, you should not doubt me,
  You will remember my name.
  
  (Chorus)
  Ohh Ember, you will remember.
  Ember, one thing remains,
  Ohh Ember, so warm and tender,
  You will remember my name.
  
  Your heart, your heart abandoned,
  You're wrong, now bare the shame.
  Like dead trees, in cold December,
  Nothing but ashes remain.
  
  Ohh Ember, you will remember.
  Ember, one thing remains,
  Ohh Ember, so warm and tender,
  You will remember my name.
  
  Ohh Ember, you will remember.
  Ember, one thing remains,
  Ohh Ember, so warm and tender,
  You will remember my name.
  
  holy crap... its a teen suicide song!
  well i guess i shouldn't say that, i don't really know for sure. but heck, dosent it sound like her boyfriend dumped her so she offed herself? strangely that would cover a lot that went unexplained in the show. she gains and loses her power depending on how people think of her. when they all love her and are chanting her name she's invincible. but when people stop cheering, when they leave- she's powerless. it's almost like a metaphor for her mindset in life. All of her self worth hedged on what her boyfriend thought of her. but when he left her she feels abandoned and powerless, willing to commit atrocities. So i think Mr. Hartman changed the ghost thing to avoid plot lines that might not be suitable for children. scary; yes, appealing; heck yeah, but child friendly? no. so "ghost" in this show is really just a broad term for a ghost-like supernatural creature. Heck it's Butch Hartman after all, he always makes his own rules. all in all its a great show. I'll admit its a bit corny at times, but thats part of its appeal. I've made a lot of speculations in the review so take them with a pinch of suger they're just opinions. until next time.

  Good and unique show hide « show »

  This shows follows a 14 year old freshmen named Danny Fenton who gets ghost powers. His parents are "ghost-hunters", and created a portal to "Ghost Zone". They tried it but it didn't work, then Danny stepped inside and pushed a button, and all the ghost energy ran through him and now ghost energy is in his DNA. Now with his ghost powers, he must save his town Amity Park from evil ghosts such as another half-ghost, half-human named Vlad Plasmius. This was definetely one of my favorite shows when it first came on. Danny gets help from his sister Jazz, and his two best friends Sam and Tucker. Also, he gets help from his parents inventions to capture ghosts.

  Good show. hide « show »

  It's one of the best shows on Nickelodeon better than that very stupid The Fairly Oddparents show.Butch Hartman has done it again and he did it very better than The Fairly Oddparents.I mean,Come On.It's a bad idea to have Fairys instead of very cool phantoms.Who would do that instead of this idea for a kids show?It's should be one of the best ideas ever made on a kids show.I could say that it's very much a very good idea for a show that's fantasy.I can really say that I grade this show a C because I didn't like it,Like The Fairly Oddparents.

  I love this show! It's hilarious and awesome and the characters remind me of random people! hide « show »

  Oh, I love this show, Danny Phantom. The only reason I cannot rate it a 10 is because some episodes are the best things ever while others are all "Vlad, shut up and leave Maddie alone!" A lot of the characters in this show remind me of people I know in real life. I really love watching this show ever time it comes on. I'll even get up at 2 in the morning to watch it sometimes (believe me, I do) This show is a bit better than the Fairly Oddparents, but I still lov both of Butch Hartman's creations. Danny Phantom rules, it ended in a good place, and we can still watch the reruns on Nicktoons Network :)
