THE FAIRLY ODDPARENTS

(Redirected from The Fairly Oddparents)

'''The Fairly OddParents''' is an American animated television series about the adventures of a boy who has two fairy godparents. It was created by animator Butch Hartman. It airs on the children's television network Nickelodeon, and is currently one of the most popular shows on that network, second only to ''SpongeBob SquarePants''. The series is produced by Frederator Studios for the Nickelodeon cable channel, and distributed worldwide outside the United States by the Canadian animation company Nelvana. The show makes heavy use of satire and slapstick, and is full of pop culture references.

Plot


The show is set in the fictional town of Dimmsdale, and follows the day-to-day life of 10-year-old (and in one episode all the way to the age of 18) Timmy Turner. An only child, Timmy is often left by his parents to the care of Vicky, an evil babysitter. As a result, he was granted a pair of fairy godparents, named Cosmo and Wanda, who had the power to grant his wishes and were charged by Fairyworld with making Timmy happy. Unfortunately, Cosmo is somewhat slow, and he often comes up with strange, dangerous ideas. Wanda, Cosmo's more sensible (and somewhat sarcastic) wife, must devote her time to ensuring both Timmy's and Cosmo's safety, although occasionally out of rage she will create wacky plans. Although-well meaning, Timmy's wishes (and/or his Godparents' interpretation of them) often go awry. Since Cosmo and Wanda became Timmy's fairy godparents, a new host of characters entered his life, such as his maniacal fairy-obsessed teacher, Denzel Crocker and various magical creatures (see Characters section below.)
Timmy's fairies are mindful of their secretive existence and disguise themselves as various animals and objects in public. While in disguise, they always have the same colors to identify each of them: Cosmo is always a light green, and Wanda is always a light pink. (The only exceptions are when they become goldfish or salt (Cosmo) and pepper shakers (Wanda); only their eyes retain their identifying colors.) Other than Timmy, no one typically notices them.
Timmy has a crush on a popular girl named Trixie Tang, although he knows he has no chances with her. The fairies' codified laws, called Da Rules, prevent Cosmo and Wanda from interfering with love, so they are often forced to grant indirect wishes in order to aid Timmy in dealing with Trixie.
Most episodes follow the same formula: some event inspires Timmy to make a particular wish, which backfires creating problems (sometimes dangerous ones) that he and his fairies must then solve (something, such as one of Da Rules, or the fairies being directly affected by the wish, always prevents him from just wishing things back to normal right away.) Other episodes are more straight adventure, notably the ones where Timmy visits the comic book world of his favourite hero, The Crimson Chin. Despite the surreal nature of the series, there is continuity between episodes, and even a complex "mythology" regarding the fairies, the Rules, and the background of various characters.

History

A postcard for ''The Fairly OddParents'' segment on Nickelodeon's ''Oh Yeah! Cartoons'' (1998)

''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 on March 30, 2001, alongside ''Invader Zim''. On April 11, 2006, Nickelodeon UK aired all nine ''Oh Yeah! Cartoons'' shorts in three episodes. These stories include "Where's the Wand" in which Vicky uses Wanda's wand, and "Too Many Timmys" in which Timmy makes copies of himself. Each pilot episode lasts for about seven minutes. Unlike the half-hour series, the animation in the shorts is not as smooth and the designs are notably different, including Timmy's parents Mr. and Mrs. Turner, whose faces are unseen. Other notable differences include voices. Timmy Turner, who was voiced by another actor (Mary Kay Bergman), instead of Tara Strong (Timmy's voice was dubbed by Tara for re-running of the shorts on the show), and Cosmo, who sounds incredibly different even though he was still voiced by Daran Norris. Also Cosmo and Wanda had different personalities. Both Godparents were originally dimwitted, but in the half-hour episodes Cosmo has gotten even dumber and Wanda has become the smarter spouse. The first season (2001) was created in 2000, (especially in Father Time when Timmy travels back in 1970).
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. Other than ''SpongeBob SquarePants,'' it was later Nickelodeon's most highly rated show.
Early 2003 was the peak of popularity for ''The 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 special, '', was aired. The film was a success and many products were merchandised.
After ''Abra-Catastrophe!'', creator Butch Hartman created a new project for Nickelodeon called ''Danny Phantom''.
A second ''Fairly OddParents'' TV special was made, titled ''Channel Chasers''. Since then, there have been other specials, like ''The Secret Origin of Denzel Crocker'', ''The Jimmy Timmy Power Hour'', ''Crash Nebula'', '', '', ''Fairy Idol'', and ''.
Nickelodeon ceased the production of the show late in 2005, with ''The Jerkinators'' as the True Finale of the Season 6, though in the U.S the episode "Timmy the Barbarian/No Substitute for Crazy" was shown after The Jerkinators as the 6th Season finale. Butch Hartman made the official announcement on his forum [2] on January 24, 2006. However, Butch announced on February 2, 2007 on his forum [3] that Nick has granted ''Fairly OddParents'' twenty more episode slots and that the show has resumed production.
A theatrical movie was planned for release by Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon Movies, but was eventually dropped due to a regime change by Paramount, though the script was written. Hartman stated on his website that he would like to release the movie to DVD one day, but did not have any definitive plans to do so.[1] The Fairly OddParents have appeared in a $50 Best Western travel card over the 2006 summer period and again over the 2007 summer period.[2]

Crimson Chin "webisodes"

There were approximately 10 or 11 short Macromedia Flash cartoons featuring the Crimson Chin made for 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).
Lucky 7

On July 7, 2007, from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, Nickelodeon showed viewers' favorite ''Fairly OddParents'' episodes, voted for on TurboNick. This was the third time Nickelodeon has allowed viewers to vote for favorite episodes; the first occasion was SpongeBob SquarePants' ''Best Day Ever'' event. The other time was Jimmy Neutron's ''Genius, Sheenius or Inbetweenius'' event. However, unlike the previous two, no new episode was aired. 77 secrets were revealed. The 77th secret stated that a new character is joining the Fairly Oddparents cast and gave hints such as showing Cosmo in a diaper, pooing himself and then people going "Aww". This could imply that either Timmy's parents or Cosmo and Wanda are going to have a baby. This could be further backed up in the episode "Presto Change-o", when Timmy becomes his mom and says "whoah, I'm retaining water," and the episode "Channel Chasers" where Cosmo starts to give the speech on how a baby is made with the puppets. It also revealed that Timmy will make a wish that gets either Cosmo or Wanda taken away.
All of the 77 secrets are shown at TurboNick

Notes


1. Butch Hartman Official Website "And just so you all know, yes, a 'Fairly Oddparents' movie script was written (by myself and Steve Marmel) and Nick Movies had every intention of producing it about 2 years ago, but at the last minute a regime change at Paramount made them re-think their decision for some reason and the FOP movie will NOT be going ahead as originally planned, but I would like to make it as a DVD release if they'll allow me someday."
