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 who is neglected by his parents and abused by his babysitter, Vicky, and schoolteacher, Denzel Crocker. One day, he is granted two fairy godparents named Cosmo and Wanda who grant him his every wish to improve his miserable life. However, these wishes usually backfire and cause a series of problems that Timmy must fix.
Prior to the creation of The Fairly OddParents, Hartman was working at Cartoon Network on Dexter's Laboratory and Johnny Bravo. The series is based on a series of Frederator's Oh Yeah!

The show's success has spanned three Jimmy Timmy Power Hour crossover movies and three full-length live-action films. Notable television films include "Abra-Catastrophe", which aired in 2003, and "Channel Chasers", On December 30, 2015, Nickelodeon's Twitter posted the new character's picture, and the Season 10 premiere date, January 15, 2016.
