Fan Episode Reviews (7)

Yet another FOP episode that exploits Poof's cuteness...:)

9.0

So basically the premise of the episode involves Timmy wishing up his own wand, due to the lack of attention he's been receiving from Cosmo and Wanda. Feeling neglected, he requests for his own personal wand to grant any wish in an instant. Unfortunately for him, while being given the wand, he also receives the "with great power, comes great responsibility" lecture. Wanda informs Timmy that the wand only contains 10 wishes and they can only be granted in case of an emergency. She reluctantly allows Timmy to use it, provided that he doesn't abuse this responsibility. Sadly though, Timmy takes advantage of the luxury of having his own wand and begins utilizing it for his selfish purposes, only for the situation to get out of control.

This episode itself is an explanation as to why this plot wouldn't work earlier in the series. Needless to say, I really enjoyed it. Whether this plot/aspect should have been established earlier on hardly matters, because the episode was really fun to watch and seeing Poof only made it better, in my opinion. There are several reasons I could say as to why "For Emergencies Only" outranks most of what were exposed to nowadays, but one reason in particular would be that the episode was not only cute, but it also had a considerable amount of its heartwarming moments. Great episode. One of my favorites.moreless

Wanda and Cosmo have been ignoring Timmy lately because they are both very busy with Poof. This episode was well written and I didn't have a problem. Not even Mr. Crocker got on my nerves which he usually does almost everytime he appears in an episode. Anyways, Timmy asks Wanda for a wand that will grant all of his wishes and Wanda gives it to him. It was funny when Wanda didn't want to give the wand to Timmy and she said that Timmy will be a bigger moron than Cosmo then Cosmo had diaper on his face and then Wanda says "Okay, no one can be a bigger moron then Cosmo but you know what I mean". Wanda gives Timmy the wand but Wanda told Timmy that it is only good for 10 wishes and that Timmy must only use it for emergencies only. Timmy goes overboard with his wand thinking that it's an emergency which it isn't. It was funny that Timmy loses count on how many wishes he used on the wand. The car that turned into a robot was very funny because it was a reference of "Transformers". Wanda and Cosmo find out that Timmy has used up all of the wishes and then Timmy says I'm sorry and then Cosmo and Wanda tell Timmy that they're sorry because they have been ignoring him lately. The ending was very heartwarming when Cosmo and Wanda told Timmy to get in the family picture with them because they are family. The ending really made me smile. Overall, a perfect "The Fairly OddParents" episode with a heartwarming ending. 10/10moreless

For Emergencies Only was awesome! It had a great plot too. In the beginning, Timmy has a disgusting breakfast so he wishes he had a better breakfast, but the wish didn't work. Cosmo and Wanda are busy with Poof getting ready for a family picture, but Poof is getting into a lot of trouble, spitting up on Cosmo and Wanda. If they don't arrive on time then they have to wait 10,000 years (I think) for a family picture. Timmy wishes he had his own wand but Wanda said there are only 10 wishes and they have to be for emergencies only. At school, Timmy grants all 10 wishes, and there are none left. He thinks those were emergencies, although they weren't much of an emergency. A giant robot is chasing Timmy, and then Cosmo and Wanda finally help him and the robot is gone. They are late for their picture, but then Timmy wishes that they were on time.moreless

It's like a T7S with a twist. Timmy feels neglated because Cosmo and Wanda are taking so much time with Poof. So what does Timmy get? A credit card? No... but it's like a credit card! It's a credit wand, with 10 wishes. Timmy had=s to make it last, but dosen't. Then, his fairygodfamily comes to the rescue, and both say sorry, then, it the family photo, all four are happy.

The characters are flawlerss, the story is original and never a day-maze, and the humor is just Hi-larious! It was oneof those times where the famiyl sticks together. So, there!moreless

Feeling that Cosmo and Wanda are neglecting him for Poof, Timmy gets his godparents to give him his own magic wand with ten wishes on it.

Sounds like an episode they should have done a long time ago, but didn't know what could be occupying Cosmo and Wanda's time. But I'm glad they did this episode. Butch Hartman, the creator, wrote this episode and this is a classic, It had everything that made me love this show 7 years ago. Really this is a nice job. The body guards are so Butch Hartman, and the end of the story had so much heart. Nice job Butch.moreless

- When Timmy wishes the car was a robot, it is a reference to Transformers.
  
  The car he was riding was a Hummer, which parodies the General Motors tie-ins of the recent movie.
