Source-derived summary

The Fairly OddParents originated from a mini-series of 7-minute shorts on the Oh Yeah! Cartoons showcase. The series premiere, appropriately named "The Fairly OddParents!" is the pilot of the series which showcase the debut appearances of Timmy Turner, Cosmo, Wanda, and Vicky.

Episodes

Every short was written, storyboarded and directed by series creator Butch Hartman. Zac Moncrief co-boarded "Too Many Timmys!", Bob Boyle co-boarded "Party of Three!", Sean Bishop co-board "The Fairy Flu!" and Steve Marmel and Mike Bell co-wrote "Super Humor".

Other shorts

Nickelodeon showed the first three Crimson Chin webisodes compiled with all of the Oh Yeah! Cartoons shorts as well with "Where's the Wand?". When the Oh Yeah! Cartoons shorts were rerun, Mary Kay Bergman's Timmy voice was redubbed by Tara Strong, due to Bergman's death. However, these shorts have stopped airing after the television special US premiere of The Big Superhero Wish in February 2004.

Why this record matters
