|||
==Production history== |
|||
===Early origins (1998–2001)=== |
|||
[[Image:The Fairly OddParents postcard 1998.jpg|thumb|left|250px|A postcard for ''The Fairly OddParents'' segment on [[Nickelodeon (TV channel)|Nickelodeon's]] ''[[Oh Yeah! Cartoons]]'']] |
|||
''The Fairly OddParents'' first aired as a [[short film]] 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 [[unseen character|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]] (Timmy's voice was dubbed by Tara for re-running of the shorts on the show). Also Cosmo and Wanda had different personalities. Both Godparents were originally dimwitted, but in the half-hour episodes Cosmo has gotten even dumber and his voice got higher and Wanda has become the much smarter (yet just as silly) spouse. |
|||
===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 {{fact|date=October 2008}}. 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, ''[[The Fairly OddParents: Abra-Catastrophe!|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]]''. |
|||
===End and resumption of production (2005–2007)=== |
|||
[[Image:The Fairly OddParents - Baby Poof.png|thumb|right|200px|Baby Poof]] |
|||
Nickelodeon ceased the production of the show late in 2005, with ''The Jerkinators (The Jimmy Timmy Power Hour 3)'' as the actual [[season finale]] of the sixth season, 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<ref>http://butchhartman.com/forumIII/index.php?showtopic=7072</ref> on January 24, 2006. However, Butch announced on February 2, 2007 on his forum<ref>http://butchhartman.com/forumIII/index.php?showtopic=12732</ref> that Nick has granted ''Fairly OddParents'' twenty more episode slots and that the show has resumed production. Cosmo and Wanda also appeared in [[Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide]]. |
|||
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<ref>[http://www.butchhartman.com Butch Hartman website]</ref> that he would like to release the movie to DVD one day, but did not have any definitive plans to do so<ref>[http://www.butchhartman.com Butch Hartman Official Website The Fairly OddParents theatrical movie]</ref>. The Fairly OddParents have appeared in a $50 [[Best Western]] travel card over the 2006 summer period and again over the 2007 summer period. |
|||
===Revival (2008–present)=== |
|||
After a one year hiatus, Nickelodeon announced on TV that they would begin the broadcast of a [[television movie]] called ''[[Fairly OddBaby]]'' on February 18, 2008 as the beginning of 20 episodes of Season 6, and to carry the show to at least the year 2009.<ref>http://frederatorblogs.com/odd/2007/12/20/the-oddparents-are-coming-the-oddparents-are/ The OddParents are coming the OddParents are coming</ref> Also, four new episodes aired each day at 5:00pm [[Eastern Time Zone|EST]] beginning on Monday, March 10 after a [[rerun]] of the ''[[Fairly OddBaby]]'' special, and ending on Thursday (3–13) of that week. It was reported that 8.81 million people watched this movie when it originally aired. Another new episode week aired from May 12–16, 2008. The Fairly Oddlympics aired on August 1, 2008, as part of the [[2008 Olympics]], which began on August 8, 2008. Another premiere week aired through August 11–15, 2008. Four new episodes of The Fairly OddParents will air during SuperStuffed Nicktoons Weekend. |

====''Oh Yeah! Cartoons''==== |
|||
The Fairly OddParents originally premiered as a set of 10 [[short film]]s on [[Oh Yeah! Cartoons]], a show featuring random cartoons. Some of them are available on ''The Fairly OddParents'' DVD releases, including the first pilot episode that was featured on the ''[[School's Out!: The Musical]]'' DVD release. |
|||
====Crimson Chin==== |
|||
There were six shorts featuring the Crimson Chin, Timmy's favorite action hero that were made for Nickelodeon's website. They are now available exclusively on the ''Superhero Spectacle'' DVD release, although they occasionally air on [[Nicktoons Network]]. |
|||
==''Lucky 7'' marathon== |
|||
On July 7, 2007, from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, [[Nickelodeon (TV channel)|Nickelodeon]] showed viewers' favorite ''Fairly OddParents'' episodes, voted for on [[TurboNick]]. This was the third time Nickelodeon allowed viewers to vote for their favorite episodes; the first occasion was [[SpongeBob SquarePants]]' ''Best Day Ever'' event and the other time was [[Jimmy Neutron]]'s "''Genius, Sheenius or Imbetweenius''" event. However, unlike the previous two, no new episode was aired. Instead, 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 implied that either Timmy's parents or Cosmo and Wanda were going to have a baby. This is one of the only Fairly OddParents marathons. |
|||
Later in December 2007, Nick showed a commercial telling of things that were going to happen in 2008. This commercial had a short preview, of Fairly OddBaby which included Cosmo in a hospital gown holding a baby, aired February 18, 2008. |

Production history
Early origins (1998–2001)
The Fairly OddParents first aired as a short film 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 (Timmy's voice was dubbed by Tara for re-running of the shorts on the show). Also Cosmo and Wanda had different personalities. Both Godparents were originally dimwitted, but in the half-hour episodes Cosmo has gotten even dumber and his voice got higher and Wanda has become the much smarter (yet just as silly) spouse.
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.
End and resumption of production (2005–2007)
Nickelodeon ceased the production of the show late in 2005, with The Jerkinators (The Jimmy Timmy Power Hour 3) as the actual season finale of the sixth season, 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[1] on January 24, 2006. However, Butch announced on February 2, 2007 on his forum[2] that Nick has granted Fairly OddParents twenty more episode slots and that the show has resumed production. Cosmo and Wanda also appeared in Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide.
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[3] that he would like to release the movie to DVD one day, but did not have any definitive plans to do so[4]. The Fairly OddParents have appeared in a $50 Best Western travel card over the 2006 summer period and again over the 2007 summer period.
Revival (2008–present)
After a one year hiatus, Nickelodeon announced on TV that they would begin the broadcast of a television movie called Fairly OddBaby on February 18, 2008 as the beginning of 20 episodes of Season 6, and to carry the show to at least the year 2009.[5] Also, four new episodes aired each day at 5:00pm EST beginning on Monday, March 10 after a rerun of the Fairly OddBaby special, and ending on Thursday (3–13) of that week. It was reported that 8.81 million people watched this movie when it originally aired. Another new episode week aired from May 12–16, 2008. The Fairly Oddlympics aired on August 1, 2008, as part of the 2008 Olympics, which began on August 8, 2008. Another premiere week aired through August 11–15, 2008. Four new episodes of The Fairly OddParents will air during SuperStuffed Nicktoons Weekend.

Shorts
Oh Yeah! Cartoons
The Fairly OddParents originally premiered as a set of 10 short films on Oh Yeah! Cartoons, a show featuring random cartoons. Some of them are available on The Fairly OddParents DVD releases, including the first pilot episode that was featured on the School's Out!: The Musical DVD release.
Crimson Chin
There were six shorts featuring the Crimson Chin, Timmy's favorite action hero that were made for Nickelodeon's website. They are now available exclusively on the Superhero Spectacle DVD release, although they occasionally air on Nicktoons Network.
Lucky 7 marathon
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 allowed viewers to vote for their favorite episodes; the first occasion was SpongeBob SquarePants' Best Day Ever event and the other time was Jimmy Neutron's "Genius, Sheenius or Imbetweenius" event. However, unlike the previous two, no new episode was aired. Instead, 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 implied that either Timmy's parents or Cosmo and Wanda were going to have a baby. This is one of the only Fairly OddParents marathons.
Later in December 2007, Nick showed a commercial telling of things that were going to happen in 2008. This commercial had a short preview, of Fairly OddBaby which included Cosmo in a hospital gown holding a baby, aired February 18, 2008.
