The Fairly OddParents!

The Fairly OddParents is an American animated series created by Butch Hartman for Nickelodeon. The series follows the adventures of Timmy Turner, a 10-year-old boy with two fairy godparents named Cosmo & 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 later green-lit to become a half-hour series, which premiered on March 30, 2001. Originally, it ended on November 25, 2006, totaling five seasons and 80 episodes, but was revived in 2008. Production of the series ceased again after Hartman left Nickelodeon in February 2018. It is Nickelodeon's second longest-running animated show, behind SpongeBob SquarePants (1999–present).
Many pieces of spin-off media have been made based on the show, including three live-action movies in the early 2010s, a short lived live action spin-off named The Fairly OddParents: Fairly Odder in 2022, and an animated sequel series, The Fairly OddParents: A New Wish, which premiered in 2024 and is currently airing.
== Premise ==
The series is centered around Timmy Turner, an average 10 year old boy who lives a miserable life, with neglectful parents, barely any friends and a psychotic babysitter who actively tries to kill him. One day, he is granted two fairy godparents, Cosmo and Wanda, who grant his every wish in order to help his life get better. However, these wishes backfire horribly, and cause a series of problems that Timmy must fix. There are also many rules they have to go by, with the main one being that no godkids can reveal the existence of their fairies, or they will be taken away forever and assigned to a new kid.
Earlier episodes of the show 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. Alot of these aspects get forgotten about later on. In season 6, Timmy wished that Cosmo and Wanda would have a baby, who they named Poof, and much later, Timmy got a pet fairy dog named Sparky. Even later in the series' final season, 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. The series also has various antagonists, with the main two being Vicky in the earlier seasons, who's an evil babysitter that tortures timmy, and his teacher Denzel Crocker in later seasons, who's insane and desperately wants to prove to the world that fairies exist.
=== Settings ===
The series is set in the fictional city of Dimmsdale, California, which is basically just a regular city. 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 and 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.
== Characters ==
=== Main ===
===== Timmy Turner =====
The main character of the series. Timmy is a 10-year-old boy who was given fairy godparents to grant his every wish as a result of his neglectful parents and abuse from Vicky. He also has a comically large bucktooth, which is usually mocked. It is strongly implied that his Pappy gave him this by leaving his pacifier in his mouth for too long. His wishes often have unpredictable and troublesome side effects, and are often reverted upon Timmy's request by the end of the episode. During a time travel trip, Timmy accidentally arrives the day his parents moved into their house; unseen, he learns that they were expecting a girl, hence his pink hat.
===== Cosmo and Wanda =====
Timmy's godparents.
