The Fairly OddParents Is America’s Longest-Running Fantasy Series
The Fairly OddParents centers on the adventures of Timmy Turner, a boy who has two fairy godparents named Cosmo and Wanda. It was originally an animated short that was turned into a series because of its popularity. It lasted for five seasons on Nickelodeon until 2006 but was picked up again in 2008. The cartoon is the longest-running fantasy TV series in U.S. television history. The show’s creator, Butch Hartman, announced in February 2018 that he was leaving the network after 20 years. It’s unclear what effect his decision will have on the popular program. He’s been with Nickelodeon since 1998.
