Starting off on "Oh Yeah Cartoons!", Fairly Oddparents is about a 10 year old boy named Timmy Turner. His life is miserable, especially when he gets babysat by Vicky ("Icky" with a V), who is very cruel to him by giving him chores. Then after breaking a magic 8-ball, Timmy is immediately granted fairy godparents, named Cosmo and Wanda. And here on, Timmy gives wishes to them, and they become granted, though some of his wishes are mistakes and may make other people feel worse. Timmy has a couple friends, named Chester and AJ. Chester is a brace-faced kid that mostly hangs out with Timmy and AJ. AJ is a genius and sometimes may annoy Timmy with his smartness, but both of them eventually resolve their differences and get along fine. And then there's Denzel Crocker, who is a mean, yet insane teacher that always suspects that Timmy has godparents, so he's sometimes stalking him. All the other characters don't affect Timmy life so much, but they do serve a purpose in certain episodes. If Cosmo and Wanda are punished, or if Timmy and his godparents needed help, Fairy World is there where all the other fairies are. And the storyline goes on...
When this became a show in 2001, it became popular right away. This show seemed to try to mimic some of the constant stupid humor that Nick's other popular show, Spongebob, shows, but it managed to be unique in its own way. The 1st and 2nd seasons were pretty entertaining and humorous at times. Cosmo was always a brainless idiot, and same goes for Timmy's parents, primary his dad. Then Wanda is the wise one and offers advise to Timmy many times. Though some of the humor was childish and stupid, there are sometimes hints of adult humor thrown in.
However, at the start of Season 3, Fairly Oddparents seemed to have changed, in a bad way. First off, Frankie Muniz and Ibrahim Muhammad, both which voiced Chester and AJ in the first 2 seasons of the show, were replaced with different voice actors, and even kids can tell the difference. This change was not for the better in my opinion, because now the 2 characters feel like different kids. 2nd off, the show started to become unfunny and repetitive from there. While Season 3 was tolerable with some okay episodes, Season 4 just made the show even worse. By Season 4, Cosmo was mostly unfunny with his stupidity, and many of the other characters don't help much in making the show funny ether. So, Fairly Oddparents was good in its first couple of seasons, it started going downhill later. Fairly Oddparents also happened to have a handful of made-for-TV movies, mostly released late in the series, which were pretty okay, and made up for some of the dull episodes.
I hear that here in 2006, the show stopped production of new episodes. I think it's a good decision, because its last seasons sucked for the most part, and it's been on air for long enough (5 years, with 6 seasons). It's been fun at first, but now it's a good time to put it aside and move on. At least there are DVD releases that we can remember it with.
Overall, Fairly Oddparents was pretty cool, unique, funny and addictive at first, but then declined into a mediocre show when it ended.
