The Fairly OddParents (2001–2017)
8/10
Once up there with Spongebob, but fell HARD.....
14 July 2019
No show has taken the phrase "You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become a villain" so literally as Fairly OddParents has. I grew up with this show, and it was great! But personally, I really think it should've ended at the hour long special "Channel Chasers". Would've been a PERFECT finale to what was a great show. But no....they had to keep going. It didn't go downhill immediately, but come season 6 and 7, it was becoming noticeable. By season 9, the show had dropped MASSIVELY in quality and was barely watchable. But season 10.....I saw clips from season 10 episodes and never felt so utterly saddened by a drop in quality. The characters were no longer funny and witty, they were just annoying. The jokes were no longer funny, and Chloe......CHLOE!!!!! Need I say more??? But it gets worse. The animation went to flash and MY GOD.....it just looked awful. The show became a shell of its former self until it finally went out with a whimper in 2017. No one even knew it ended. It died quietly as the people behind it stopped caring about its quality, before they just gave up and for better use of words "turned off its life support......."

If that wasn't bad enough, there's even worse news.

Butch Hartman, the man who created the show and made it one of the best nicktoons of its time literally BECAME A VILLAIN. I wish I was kidding, but nope here we are in 2019. He has created a little something called "Oaxis" which in his words, is said to be a "family friendly streaming service". But in reality, it's just a scam. Butch Hartman created a kickstarter back in 2018 and begged his YouTube fanbase to back it. Somehow it reached its goal, and a year later there is absolutely nothing to show for it. He insists he will make it reality, but there is nothing to show.......BUT HE IS ASKING FOR MORE MONEY GOLLY GEE AIN'T THAT JUST GREAT??!!

Shame on you Butch. You may be a talented artist but you are no longer a good person. If you want to fix this, at least start by being honest with your fans. You know what you're doing is wrong, but you still continue to push it for the sake of your ego and your clout. You really became a villain, and it's utterly sad to see what you've become.

Rest easy Fairly OddParents, and Butch......it's never too late to do the right thing. Not that this will change your mind, but I'm just saying because it's true. I hope you make the right choices.........
