Infobox instructions (only shown in preview)

The Fairly OddParents is an American animated television series created by Butch Hartman for Nickelodeon. The series follows the adventures of Timmy Turner, a 10-year-old boy with two fairy godparents named Cosmo and Wanda who grant him wishes to solve his everyday problems.

The series originated from shorts on Nickelodeon's animation showcase Oh Yeah! Cartoons that aired from 1998 to 2002. Due to their popularity, the shorts were later green-lit to become a half-hour series, which premiered on March 30, 2001. Originally, it ended on November 25, 2006, totaling five seasons and 80 episodes, but revived in 2008. Production of the series ceased again after Hartman left Nickelodeon in February 2018.[2] It is Nickelodeon's second longest-running animated show, behind SpongeBob SquarePants (1999–present).[3]

On February 24, 2021, it was announced that a spin-off live-action series was in development for Paramount+.[4] The series The Fairly OddParents: Fairly Odder premiered on March 31, 2022.[5] A sequel series, titled The Fairly OddParents: A New Wish, is also in development impending for a Netflix release.
