Talk:The Fairly OddParents/Archive 3

Confusion about DVD's?
I was looking at the new DVD for season 6, and then I saw something.......on Wikipedia it has all of the episodes with Poof as Season 7, but the DVD says Season 6, volume 1????????? something needs to happen, because Poof is on the cover for Season 6, volume 1.Onepiece226 (talk) 02:04, 18 August 2008 (UTC)Onepiece226

Poof?
I suggest we add information on Poof (the latest addition to The Fairly OddParents cast) and the recent one hour special. Poof is now a recurring character and the once predictable formula of the average episode has been changed now that he is here to stay. Eatspie (talk) 03:32, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Program Name
Is there any reason for Fairly OddParents instead of Fairly Odd Parents? Or should I move it? --Dyss 17:14, 21 Sep 2004 (UTC)


 * I first moved this article from Fairly Oddparents to Fairly Odd Parents, because "Fairly Odd Parents" gets the most google hits, but now I'm unsure. Most of the fans seem to address the series as "Fairly OddParents".. I'd like some official source which says which version is the right name for the series. --Conti|&#9993; 20:07, Sep 21, 2004 (UTC)


 * Looks like Fairly OddParents is right after all. http://www.nick.com/all_nick/tv_supersites/display_show.jhtml?show_id=fai The logo isn't very clear but the tblack on white text below it is. --Dyss 13:28, 22 Sep 2004 (UTC)


 * I'm 95% sure it's "Fairly Odd Parents". That is what it is called in all the TV listings, and that's what it looks like on the logo. Sure, the website lists it once as "Fairly Oddparents", but since that is the only place it is listed as that, it's probably a typo. The occurences of the "Odd Parents" name greaty outnumber the "Oddparents" name, I think we should call it the former. --ChaosSorcerer91 12:54, 04 Aug 2006 (GMT)


 * I know this is old, but DirecTV lists it as "The Fairly OddParents" in the on-screen guide.--CCFreak2K 11:04, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi! Can anybody explain to a non native speaker the reason of the name "Fairly Oddparents"? As far as I know, and even after consulting dictionaries, this has the only meaning "quite strange parents", or something similar. Is there any particular reason for "Fairly Oddparents", apart from the fact that it sounds like "Fairy Godparents"? Thanks to all!Popopp 16:24, 15 March 2007 (UTC)


 * From what I can think of, it's a play on words: the fairies can be described as "fairly odd," which is a play on "fairy god." --CCFreak2K 12:17, 2 May 2007 (UTC)


 * In fact it is a play with 'Fairy Godparents', which they are. Ans you're right about the translation. Samuel Sol 12:17, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Character Info
Once again, this section was removed. Once again, I've restored it. It gives a much better overview of the main characters and relationships in FOP than does the character list. -- Ruggles, 2:46 AM Sept. 8 2006

Once again I have restored the character section. It is more comprehensive than the other main character list, which I have deleted to avoid repetition. I'm not budging on this. There is some good writing in the main character section, it has interesting commentary on the characters and relationships that the other list did not, so IMO it deserves to stay. -- Ruggles, 11:23 AM Sept. 8 2006
 * If you find the information to be helpful, please add it to the individual character pages. That's what they are there for. -Shannernanner 22:31, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

I have done so. -- Ruggles

The character page for Timmy is gone. - Redmess (talk) 16:18, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

parents names?
are there any hints to the parents names?

In many episodes they're mentioned as Timmy's mom and Timmy's dad. These names are not just mentioned by Timmy but by Chet-U-Betcha as well. --24.247.126.44 01:23, 1 March 2006 (UTC)


 * The nearest they ever came to saying the names was two times, one was when Sherlock Holmes was brought to life by Timmy's wish and said he deduced their names were .... which closed a book and Mom said "Oh you're right! They are!" Dad says " I could do this at least once every day!" and the episode ended, and the other was when Timmy first goes back in time to stop his father from winning a trophy. When he says "Dad look out!" His father responds something like "Well Dad is what they call me but my real name is ...." at which time a truck roars past. So they haven't said it and it's true so far they haven't actually given any major hints. Ryokosha 02:04, 1 March 2006 (UTC).

I don't think they have a first name

Like "What state is Springfield in?" from the Simpsons, it's clear that Butch decided to make this a running gag. 71.201.59.253 21:00, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Jimmy Timmy Power Hour 3 - Ratings flop
I have restored yet again the FACT that JTPH3 was a ratings flop. Nick has confirmed this by not mentioning JTPH3 or its ratings in Nick's recent press release regarding its July ratings performance, whereas it DID highlight the ratings of "Fairy Idol" in its press release on its May ratings performance. So leave the info be! It is not opinion, it is FACT.

Oh yeah? Well where's the proof?? Marcus 22:00, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

I mentioned some "proof" in my earlier statement. Nick always uses press releases to brag about its successes, and JTPH3 was significantly absent in Nick's most recent ratings spin. Link: http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/060731/nym192.html?.v=50 Also, JTPH2 got less than half of the ratings of JTPH2.

Actually, that headline doesn't mention the third Power Hour at all, so it's not conclusive proof that JTPH3 was a rating flop
 * I remember reading the Nielsen ratings for that week. Something about High School Musical, I'll dig it up. Pacific Coast Highway (blah • Snakes on a Plane) 00:24, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Here they go; No mention in the top ten. Pacific Coast Highway (blah • Snakes on a Plane) 00:44, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

I also am trying to restore this fact, yet someone keeps deleting it. If it's you, Marcus, please stop. I think we can say it's pretty much confirmed. -Jeffaplus

No, we can't. There is no concrete evidence that directly states the episode was a ratings flop. Just drop it alright, it's not nesecary for the integrity of the article. Order_66

Actually, JTPH3 got about half the ratings JTPH2 did. I'd say that qualifies it as a flop. - Ruggles

JTPH3 was the end of both series? That's the worst ending ever... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Frostbite Q. Kelvin (talk • contribs) 06:39, 9 October 2006 (UTC).

The first and secound did good but the 3rd one had a boring plot.Mr.Rachel 20:29, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

A few things
Hey, I'm new at Wikipedia, but I noticed that Sarah Frost wasn't on the list of directors, and I think she deserves to be mentioned. Here's her IMDb page:

Also, there's an episode called "The Good Ol' Days" that I think should be expanded on. The episode has a lot of references to animation from the 1930s. I can't remember the specifics, but I think it's worth noting. I'll have to find the episode and get more information about it. Since I'm new here, I'm going to have to do some reading before I do any editing.

Sorry if this post violates any guidelines or is unprofessional in any way. I'm just trying to add to this article because I'm a big fan of the show. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Checkeredgeek (talk • contribs) 08:01, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Seen in other shows?
Cosmo and Wanda made an appearance in the "daydreams" episode of Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide. In it, Ned has a daydream in which Cosmo and Wanda grant him a wish to enter Sweedney's class (you may want to see the episode if you don't know what i'm talking about)

Do you know anywhere i can see it? Youtube, perhaps?-ViacomMania

Simon Starfield
Who is the voice actor for Simon Starfield?

Simon Growl LOL!

The Big Superhero Wish
The Big Superhero Wish is NOT a movie. Neither is the Orgin of Denzel Crocker. They are episodes that take up a whole half hour like media related articles information stupor highway and shelf life. Oh yeah, one more thing. Why does the Fairly Odd Parents template at the bottom of the page read School's;Out!;The;Musical now?

I fixed the "Superhero Wish" thing, but "School's out! the musical" doesn't seem to have any typos. It is a movie like the others, though, so it should stay there. -Jeffaplus

Cosmo
does anyone know who did the voice of cosmo before the "main one"

Daran Norris is vouce of Cosno KanuT 00:26, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

yeah but my question is that before FOP became a series (i.e in the oh yeah cartoon era) cosmo has a differnt sounding voice.. it doesnt sound like it was done by the same actor, eg like in the simpsons nancy cartwright did lisa in the tracy ulman show before Y. Smith did it in the main series (would use username but not alowed) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.2.113.39 (talk • contribs) 10:32, September 21, 2006.

update: oh yeah he did do the voice thoughout he just changed it.. (read the articule more carefully) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.2.113.39 (talk • contribs) 10:34, September 21, 2006.

Also, I think after the shorts, during season 1, he still had a different voice.

Somebody named Mary Kay Bargman did the voice, but she commited suicide in 1999, check one of the trivia sections —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.183.68.197 (talk) 19:49, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Hassel in the Castle!
Hassel in the Castle, redirects to "List of Scooby Doo - Where Are You, episodes"! Why!... '''Also! Since this is a Fairly Odd Parents article talk page... SUPERTOILET (Cosmo screams "So much clogging")'''

Episode
Please find a verifiable source for the airdate of the unaired episode in the US; forums and the like are not verifiable, and without a source, it will be removed. Thank you. Shannernanner  06:47, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Cabletvtalk.com are the most reliable sources and they always right about new episode airdates. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.47.198.164 (talk • contribs) 21:25, 3 November 2006 (UTC).
 * Even if they are correct, a forum is not a verifiable source. If you would like to include the information, please find an official verifiable source which states this airdate.  Thanks.   Shannernanner   07:01, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

List of Episodes
The list of episodes in the infobox should be combined with the number of episodes. Every other series on wikipedia has the episode number (in this case it is 66) combined with the link to the list of episodes instead of showing the list of episodes next to the number.

Please take this into consideration, other series have this so why shouldn't TFOP? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.47.198.164 (talk • contribs) 21:25, 3 November 2006 (UTC).
 * The current format is the current syntax of the television infobox template. As I said on your talk page, if you would like to propose a change, please do so on its talk page rather than changing the individual infobox formats without consensus.   Shannernanner   07:01, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
