Top 10 Biggest Problems with Modern The Fairly OddParents
Fairly OddParents lately has been suffering from a thing called "seasonal rot," where the episodes are bland at best. The writers and directors have been losing their touch.
Thank you for reading, and I hope you agree with what I say.
-
They add a new character every season
Poof. Foop. Then Sparky. Then Chloe. What's next? A cat? Yeah, I agree with all these reasons. The show didn't need a 10th season - 9 was enough. It just shows the writers are desperate. And they don't even make Vicky appear anymore. My favorite show is disappointing me. Not good.
Poof was the only good one of the three. Sparky was beyond aggravating, and Chloe was a failed attempt to mock Mary Sues.
Poof is good, Sparky is decent, and Chloe is cute, but I don't hate her. 2001-2012 is good.

Chloe is, and I quote from Timmy, "Little Miss Perfect"
Say what you want about Poof and Sparky. For Poof, I actually like the little guy. Sparky? Eh, I don't really care for him. Not that great, but not that bad either. But the biggest offender would have to be Chloe. I can see why Mr. Enter hates her. I just can't bear to look at her appearance, and she's nothing but a total Mary Sue! What's next? They're going to make a villain based on bacon?! Oh wait, they actually did! Jeez, what is it with Nickelodeon dragging on shows like SpongeBob and The Fairly OddParents?
She is also a better heroine than all the other girls. I will use her in all future Fairly OddParents fanfics. She is the only heroine who actually defeats more enemies. She even saved Timmy Turner from the Fair Bears that hypnotized her.

Wanda has become an idiot
The thing is, she and Cosmo were intellectual equals in season one (in the original shorts, Cosmo was smarter). Then, after Wanda was smarter for most of the show's run, they dumbed both of them down, and now they're equal again. But unlike in season one, they're both complete idiots.
-
Timmy is a selfish jerk now
Where the hell do I begin? He is completely whining when he needs to share his fairies with Chloe! I can enjoy modern SpongeBob characters knowing that the past few seasons are better than seasons 4-9. But since The Fairly OddParents was canceled in 2017, I can't have faith that he's going to turn back into his old self. Oh, he's also lazy, as shown in Return of the Losers. I can't say it - it's that bad. You have to see the episode yourself, which will ruin your childhood in the process.
Tara Strong must have had a tough time recording her lines.
-
They keep breaking their own rules
There was an episode where Crocker (who HATES fairies, no less) bonded with Poof. By all rights, that should've cost Timmy his fairies!
It specifically says in the first episode of the final season that a godkid could not undo another godkid's wish. Yet you clearly see them doing it in the same episode. Not to mention another episode not too long after when Timmy and Chloe were undoing each other's wishes in the episode where he tried to keep her from getting to school on time.
Chloe didn't even need fairy godparents. If anyone should have gotten them, it should have been Chester.
-
They keep using modern trends
Not to mention Poof mocking Trump in his last appearance. Yes, I hate Trump, but that's not necessary since this show is for kids.
Or trends that WERE modern in 2013.
-
Poof is barely ever shown
I mean, really, they use Anti-Poof more! If you're going to add a character and give him arguably the best episode in the series, USE HIM!
-
They try to use slapstick more and more
But their animation makes that humor UNFUNNY!
-
Timmy's parents are mentally abusive
-
Cosmo keeps getting dumber as the show progresses
-

Poof is going to school
Even as a kid, I knew this was wrong. He's a baby. He's too young to go to school. I get it, Stewie Griffin from Family Guy is a baby too, yet in the later seasons, he goes to preschool. But it makes some sense because Stewie is far more intelligent than your typical baby, so putting him in preschool makes sense - he's too smart for daycare. However, Poof is not a super-genius like Stewie, so it doesn't make sense. If they desperately wanted him to go to school, just put him in a daycare - it would make more sense.

?
Crocker appears in practically every episode
-
Sparky
Sparky's awesome. Why don't people like him? He's just like Leni, Lindsay, Patrick, Sheen, Cosmo, and all the other dumb cartoon characters, so who cares?
He was owned by adults who bought him at the Fairy Pet Store at Fairy World! That's two plot holes in one episode!
-
They use cheap flash
-
They keep adding new rules to further the plot
Just look at the first episode of the tenth season, and you'll see what I mean.
It's like every episode they make a new, incredibly specific rule just for the sake of not being able to wish away whatever problem they created.
-
Characters disappeared out of thin air
More than half the cast is gone now. Only Timmy, Cosmo, Wanda, Crocker, Timmy's Dad, Foop, and Jorgen are left, and they decided that Chloe should stay while Sparky and Poof should go. What a mistake that was. Even Vicky and Timmy's Mom aren't shown much anymore. And Chester and A.J.
Seasons 1-8: nearly a hundred characters
Season 9: Timmy, Cosmo, Wanda, Crocker, Timmy's Dad, Sparky, Foop, Jorgen, Dark Laser, Timmy's Mom, Poof (before Let Sleeper Dogs Lie), and to a much lesser extent, Vicky
Season 10: Chloe, Timmy, Timmy's Dad, Crocker, Cosmo, Wanda, Foop, Jorgen, Timmy's Mom, Dark Laser, and to an extremely lesser extent, Vicky
-
Vicky is hardly on anymore
She had ONE appearance in season ten, and that was "Certifiable Super Sitter."
-
Poof doesn't appear in Season 10 anymore
He appeared in one episode, "Certifiable Super Sitter" (which was also the only one Vicky was in), and disappeared after that. Thankfully, they don't treat it like Chloe already knew him.
-
Foop is the only anti-fairy they show now
-
The theme song
The theme song was a lot better before, but then they decided to add this little goody two-shoes character into the show, and it ruined both the show and the theme song! Fairly OddParents was a lot better back then.
Getting rid of the singer and Timmy's rap was such a stupid idea. I miss Really Ood, Pea Pod, Buff Bod, Hot Rod, Obtuse, Rubber Goose, Green Moose, Guava Juice, Giant Snake, Birthday Cake, Large Fries, Chocolate Shake!
It was a complete flop because of Chloe, the stereotypical Mary Sue.
-
Sparky disappeared out of nowhere
-
The animation
-
Crocker and Foop were the only villains
Remember Norm, the Pixies, Dark Laser, the other Anti-Fairies, and Francis, among others? Well, they aren't in the show anymore, and instead, there are only Crocker and Foop. Not even Vicky, the original main antagonist of the show, is in it anymore. Let that sink in.
-
Crocker doesn't seem evil anymore
And he appears in almost every episode.
-
Catman is voiced by Jeff Bennett instead of Adam West
-
They include Trump references
