Show Summary

The Fairly OddParents is a totally out-of-this-world cartoon about a 10-year old boy named Timmy whose life isn't exactly normal. The Fairly OddParents has been shown from three different channels throughout the world: Jetix, the Disney Channel, and on Nickelodeon. Being bossed around by his bossy babysitter, Timmy can't stand it anymore, so his Fairy Godparents are there to help. His Fairy Godparents go by the name of Cosmo, Wanda, and baby poof who grant Timmy's wishes. Of course, these fairies aren't exactly geniuses, epsecially Cosmo. Watch their wacky adventures you'll wish for more! Like fellow Nicktoon SpongeBob SquarePants, the show has become hugely popular and has a large, devoted fan base encompassing all age groups. Character Guide: Timmy Turner - Timmy, an average 10-year-old boy, was miserable because of his dimwit parents and Vicky, his evil babysitter. One day, he was playing with a magic 8-ball and a married fairy couple named Cosmo and Wanda appeared. When they became Timmy's fairy godparents, his misery ended. Cosmo Wanda - Cosmo and Wanda are the married couple of fairy godparents that are assigned to Timmy Turner. They are several thousand years old, and have had many, many fairy godchildren. They grant wishes to Timmy so that he isn't miserable anymore. Poof - Poof is the only natural child of Cosmo and Wanda and is Timmy's fairy godbrother. He was born in the episode "Fairly Odd Baby", and has since become a regular character on the show. He is way too young to grant wishes, but depending on his emotions, magical things happen. And sometimes, when Timmy grants a wish, he gets the wish wrong. Vicky - Vicky is an evil 16-year-old babysitter who constantly tortures Timmy and other kids. Her favorite things are money, torturing children, and watching TV. Denzel Q. Crocker - Mr. Crocker is Timmy's fairy-obsessed schoolteacher. He is also one of Timmy's arch-enemies. He strongly suspects that Timmy has fairy godparents, though when he tells people he believes in fairies, they think that he's crazy. Chester McBadbat - Chester is one of Timmy's best friends. He has braces on his teeth, which he once used to help Timmy win a contest. He lives in a run-down trailer with his dad, who wears a paper bag over his head because of the humiliation he faced as a lousy baseball player. A.J. - A.J., an African American, is Timmy's other best friend. He is the genius in Timmy's class, and also has a secret lab. Consequently, he sometimes gets jealous when someone else wins first place in a contest. A.J., like his dad, likes to invent things. Theme Song: Chorus: Timmy is an average kid that no one understands. Mom and Dad and Vicky always giving him commands. Vicky: Bed, twerp! Chorus: But doom and gloom up in his room is broken instantly, by his magic little fish who grant his every wish, 'cause in reality, they are his odd parents, fairly odd parents. Wanda: Wands and wings! Cosmo: Floaty crowny things! Chorus: Odd parents, fairly odd parents. Really mod, pea pod, buff bod, hot rod. Timmy: Obtuse, rubber goose, green moose, guava juice, giant snake, birthday cake, large fry, chocolate shake! Chorus: Odd parents, fairly odd parents. It flips your lid when you are a kid with fairly odd parents. Vicky: Yeah, right! Chorus: *Bop!*

    This show was ok but as time went by it started to get worse and worse especially after they made a movie about it, seriously how many more shows are going to get ruined because of worthless movies. :/
  • Not as good as when it first aired

    Fairly Odd Parents was a show I grew up with from when I was little and a little chunk . I found it funny, the concept itself is unique and different from what I've seen in cartoons and brought something fresh to animation-- especially in its first season. It has became one of Nick's most successful shows. But lately, in the likeness of Spongebob, I've noticed a huge decline in the episodes. Timmy has been becoming increasingly self-centered from being miserable and his wishes are nowadays just for personal gain, focused far too much on Poof's wellbeing, and the new installment of a dog felt rather unnecessary, to me at least. You hardly eve see Vicky in the episodes anymore, which is one of the core reasons for his miserableness in the first place. Sorry, it just lost it's touch for me--- it could be because I'm a teenager now and I'm into an assortment of different things, but nonetheless I feel like it just isn't as good as it was before. The beginning of the series is sweet but when overlooking the episodes overall, by the seasons, it's gotten pretty rough around the edges.moreless

    Some Nickelodeon cartoons have a distinct persona about them, whether they be wimpy mliksops (Doug, Hey Arnold) or psychotic nincompoops (Ren & Stimpy) at least they have a reason for being on the air, but as for something like The Fairly Oddparents, all logic & reason gets flushed down the toilet.



    Just why would a lackwitted 10-year old boy be given the ability to kowtow to his every whimsy by a couple of IQ-challenged fairies who seem to make things even worse?



    This show is far dumber than, let's just say for the sake of argument, WB's Freakazoid or even Animaniacs & for this show, it's their only strong suit.



    Steer clear of this show & tune in to something more intellectual, My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic on Hub.moreless
