One simple change that would fix Vicky is that she doesn’t love Crocker but rather idolizes him because of how infamous of a teacher he was for causing misery to his students.

It will always be absolutely hilarious to me that Sparky was so hated they literally just pretended he never existed. He just vanished and no one ever brings it up. It's absolutely hysterical.

I will never forget the most tragically hilarious thing about Sparky: His backstory being that he was constantly being dumped back into the pet store by hundreds of owners, and almost went back at the end of the episode, like it was some big deal. Then, at some point, Nick just shipped him back themselves.

Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide did a better job of portraying Cosmo and Wanda in live-action with animation than the live-action movies and fairly odder ever have done.

Crocker ending up in a ward due to the fairy stuff presumably is the most accurate part of the show

This reboot show makes the live-action movie trilogy look like the Godfather trilogy

The more you describe Vivian Turner, the more it sounds like she was basically a calmer Chloe. And we all LOOOOOVED Chloe, right?

The fact "boo you guys, I'm going home" is in the final script, especially delivered that way, really shows there was no attempt at quality control as this went on.

They could've done a prequel series about Crocker as a child. They could do an adult version like iCarly. They could do one about Trixie having fairies. There's actually a lot of ways you can expand on the original series.

I think the issue is they couldn't show the new kids being too miserable. You can show babysitters chase kids with chainsaws in a cartoon but in live-action that would be scary.

“I’m just too nice” and “people like me too much” aren’t character flaws, they’re wish fulfillment. Ironically that’s exactly the opposite of what a show about wish fulfillment needed.

Fun fact! Actually, the opposite of fun. More like a sad fact! I got so annoyed by the amount of laugh tracks when watching ep1 of Fairly Odder, that I went back and tallied up just how many laugh tracks I heard. In the approx 24 min 10 second runtime... I counted at least 220 instances of laugh tracks! That's around at least 30% of the episode! Jesus!

The "Passing of the torch" was SUCH a missed opportunity. Imagine what an insult it would have been if at the end of Toy Story 3 Andy takes his box of toys, sees some random kid on the street, dumps them at his feet and says, "Eh, there yours now bucko! See ya!" end of film.

So, basically Vivian is just a less obnoxious, more bland, live-action Chloe (a "Chlone", if you will), and Roy's just a clone of every bratty, mischievous protagonist ever in these kidcoms with little to nothing redeeming about them, aka terrible. All on a budgetless, pop culture-laden non-show made to maybe entertain the few tweens that might watch it and no one else. Got it. Reviews like this certainly sate my curiosity so I don't have to waste time on Paramount Plus.

Imagine if the series was about Vivian being a normal girl seeing all the crazy shit in Dimsdale, and suddenly freaking out. Hard freaking out, refusing to leave her room because one of her teachers is obsessed with faries, another seems to constantly be in a state of mildly orgasmic sadistic glee, and there's some weird-ass texan with a giant hat running around. She basically quickly spirals down into a pit of homesickness and despair, knowing that she's trapped in this asylum of a town with nobody to reach out to. Her parents are loving it, and her brother is wrapped up in his own antics so that he doesn't think "it's THAT weird, right?". She's completely isolated. Then she gets Cosmo and Wanda somehow and over the course of the series she starts to acclimate, becoming as zanny as everyone else. First it's through backfiring wishes to try and make everyone else more "normal" that result in her needing to bend her own rigid worldview to the flow around her Later on it becomes more about trying to change herself in ways she thinks will help, only to realize that it's important to stay true to herself in some regard. Basically it's a story of a somewhat prudish girl learning to come out of her shell, but with magic. Or something. I'm not a writer, I'm just some guy on the internet.

You forgot one thing. Tootie wasn't the only person Timmy lent his fairies to. In the Jimmy Neutron crossover, he willingly gave them to Libby, Carl, and Sheen.

Whenever a great cartoon ends too early, Like Invader Zim or Chowder did, I always remember that it's better for shows like that to end young and on a high note instead of being milked to death like this series was. This whole franchise has become a physical manifestation of "How do you do fellow kids?"

So, theres rumors going around all the animation was done by ONE person on a time crunch, and if that is the case? Honestly im impressed they did a pretty good job all things considered lmao

The most unbelievable part of this is that Timmy went to Princeton.
