Fairly Oddparents without Timmy Turner

A brief interview with one of the producers of the newer CGI Fairly Oddparents series that were just released few days back. https://www.animationscoop.com/interview-the-fairly-odd-parents-a-new-wish-is-fun-and-heartfelt/

Like that was written with my post regarding the newer Totally Spies! season the past month, reboots are very tricky to be made, by be everywhere and by just recycling the same characters over and over. Even the Hanna-Barbera studios were committed to recycle the same old characters for such spin-offs or TV movies of any kind back in the '70s. But because big studios are scare of fresh new ideas and voices, the conceit to extented the longevity of such characters seen as "brands" or "franchises" became a series of hit-or-miss. 

Butch Hartman's original series The Fairly Oddparents was one show that was so appalingly bad that it had stays renewed for more than sixteen seasons. It display comedy at its most campy and obvious, like the way Hartman have make comedy purposes in his own Cartoon Network-produced Pilots. The original backstory of all this is that it all beginning by a series of shorts produced for Nickelodeon for seek newer creators ahead. If you look of the 1998s Pilot cartoon, it was muchly like Dexter's Laboratory in vacuum than anything seen from the actual TV show by its form and artstyle.

Man! Just look of the Pilot and compare it to the main TV show and see how it changed a lot in look and allure in less than three years!

My own regards to the original Hartman creations are below-average. A small batch of The Fairly Oddparents and the entire Danny Phantom were the ones most people remembered. TUFF Puppy was typically the Brandy & Mr. Whiskers' entire cast on a spy-HQ and Bunsen is a Beast is simply forgettable. But anyway, for have wrote over 300 episodes for Nick, Hartman need to do his own homeworks instead to fullfill his efforts into lukewarm Hanna-Barbera jokes.

There, goes the loot of DTV movies and spin-offs from the Oddparents franchise. When Paramount+ have just cancelled the one live-action TV series featuring a grown-up Timmy Turner, (Along with hideous CGIs Cosmo and Wanda designs!) how that a newer animated show based of it may be possible in few times? Seems that Nickelodeon didn't learned from its past mistakes. If it broke, don't fix it! But that seems too late to fix what was an obvious mess back the original Fairly Oddparents seasons were made.

Why is the newer girl looks like a Mary-Sue version of Timmy Turner seen anywhere on DeviantArt? Where he is when you need him?

Unless you're a fan of this kind of corny, Hanna-Barberian cartoon trope, I don't even know if it's worth our time. Like the way Nickelodeon has took profit of the Stephen Hillenburg's death to producing two Spongebob spin-offs in its name, which from his life, Hillenburg didn't wanted any spin-offs of the yellow sponge. Seems that it was inevitable if his characters were there the popular TV childrens brand has put an identity and a vision on their own that foreshadow the more creators-driven kinds of shows seen almost one decade earlier.

This is there the biggest problem with reboots or spin-offs: If you are just concentrate to nostalgia, the audience's reception will look at you at antiquated. But if you try to be modern with an old property, you betray what was made the prior work so fresh and original at first place. The best way to made a reboot effective is plays the cards and split with the two, by giving timeless and renowned characters into a more modern sensitivity without that looks too distracting. It perhaps explain why my later efforts with Christine worked out more without tarnish the original spirit of this universe. It's because I've merely learned from my past mistakes.

And to think one of the co-producers of this show was there that has created Johnny Test: The nadir of everything wrong with the medium, with a very unlikable hip lead-character by exists only for fill air times in the most cheapest way. This was a 2005 Warner Bros. production (Milton Knight have worked on a few episodes of the first season) before all that was ship by Canadian studio Cookie Jar and make it more cheaper and uglier. It's hard to think it has ran endlessly, but we currently start to miss the days where the Test leaded the Teletoon multi-Billingual networks and when a part of it has gone forever. (A show that is thankfully gone, but reruns are now seen on the WildBrain TV's packages, which they are the current owners of this thing.)
