The Fairly OddParents is an American animated television series created by Butch Hartman about the adventures of Timmy Turner, who is granted fairy godparents and now his godbrother, named Cosmo, Wanda, and Poof. It is produced by Frederator Studios and Billionfold Studios for the cable network Nickelodeon, where it is currently the 2nd most popular show. The television series is also distributed outside the United States by the Canadian animation company Nelvana. The show is currently airing its sixth season.Producer Butch Hartman originally created The Fairly OddParents as an 11 minute short film entitled “Fairy Godparents.”[1] It first aired on Oh Yeah! Cartoons, and then Butch Hartman made nine more short films for the 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 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 7 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, who were partially “unseen” in the pilot episodes). Other notable differences include voices like Timmy Turner, who was voiced by another actor (Mary Kay Bergman), instead of Tara Strong
Early popularity (2001-2004)
Although The OddParents was not very popular in its first year, it began to catch on later, attracting both a child and adult fan base, using a mature sense of humour[citation needed]. Other than SpongeBob SquarePants, it was later Nickelodeon’s highest rated show. Early 2002 and 2003 was the peak of popularity for The Fairly OddParents. Ratings sky-rocketed, and it briefly passed SpongeBob SquarePants. The show saw its quick rise to the top and fall in Australia and United States in summer of 2002 and 2003 when the show’s first TV special, Abra-Catastrophe!, 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, Crash Nebula, School’s Out: The Musical, Fairy Idol, the “Jimmy Timmy” crossovers, and the recently released Fairly OddBaby
