The fact that “The Fairly OddParents” has been on for this long is a testament to its success.
I’m very excited for both the show and the Nickelodeon network. It’s had a lot of great shows in the past, and unfortunately, let them go all too soon. Shows like “Hey Arnold” or “Doug” were capstones for the network. But, “The Fairly OddParents” mark a remarkable time in cartoon history in my opinion.
This show, I remember, debuted during my middle school and high school days, and to see it grow so fast in popularity and quality and still be as funny as ever shows what happens when you have a good product with good people working behind the scenes.
Keep an eye on Nickelodeon for the next few weeks and even months. I’m certain “The Fairly OddParents” will be just as awesome in its 9th season as it was in its beginning.
Now available for free on iTunes is the exclusive never-before-seen The Fairly OddParents documentary, The Making of Sparky: A DOG-umentary. Narrated by creator Butch Hartman, the “dog-umentary” provides fans with an inside look at how the newest addition to this magical family, Sparky, went from just an idea to the loveable talking fairy dog on TV.
