==History==
American writer, animator, and voice actor, Butch Hartman, whom originally worked for Cartoon Network, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4R2Ytb2tRc started developing his own series by drawing a picture of a little boy. Hartman was originally going to name him Mike, after his brother Mike Hartman, but they had a fight that day, so Hartman named him after his other brother Timmy Hartman instead. https://web.archive.org/web/20210721031642/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujbzFXjOcdQ
Hartman wanted Timmy to be able to go anywhere because he never wanted to be stuck for a story transition. Hartman was originally going to give Timmy science powers, but decided against it due to Dexter's Laboratory having recently come out. Instead, he decided to give Timmy a magic friend. He drew Wanda first and then decided that, because he had never heard of a fairy godfather before, to draw Cosmo. After coming up with the entire premise for the cartoon in about fifteen minutes, Hartman first pitched the idea to Hanna-Barbera and then to Cartoon Network, both of them turned it down though. Hartman then went back to Seibert, who he declined the offer from back in 1997, at Nickelodeon and successfully pitched it to them for Oh Yeah! Cartoons. https://www.syfy.com/syfy-wire/fairly-oddparents-nickelodeon-20th-anniversary-butch-hartman 
While in early development, the series was titled The Fairy GodParents and then it was briefly changed to Oh My GodParents. Bill Burnett came up with the title The Fairly OddParents. Hartman originally created The Fairly OddParents as a seven-minute short film, which was one of the thirty-nine short cartoons created for Oh Yeah! Cartoons. Hartman made ten seven-minute short films of The Fairly OddParents in total for Oh Yeah! Cartoons, which aired on Nickelodeon from September 4, 1998, to March 23, 2001. Due to the success of the shorts, in 2001, Nickelodeon ordered seven 23-minute episodes for the series' first season, which premiered on March 30, 2001. https://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9A00E7D8133CF936A15750C0A9679C8B63 
Upon its premiere, The Fairly OddParents was immediately popular and quickly became the second-highest-rated children's program among kids ages 2–11 on both network and cable television behind SpongeBob SquarePants. https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-2003-08-19-0308190258-story,amp.html
