About This Quiz

Forget what you hear in the opening theme to "The Fairly OddParents" ... Timmy is far from the average kid. Sure, he's got typical problems, including a bullying babysitter, an insane teacher and parents who are negligent at best, but Timmy also has some resources at his disposal that the typical kid will never get to use. This fortunate fifth-grader has a pair of fairy godparents by his side 24/7 to grant his every wish, and while the results aren't always what anyone planned, they sure make for great TV!

It would be easy to dismiss "The Fairly OddParents" as just another in a long line of Nickelodeon cartoons, but this magical show stands out among its peers. Sure, shows like "The Simpsons" and "SpongeBob Squarepants" are known for their longevity, but did you know that "OddParents" was in production for around 20 years? That means '90s kids not only got to watch Timmy's adventures during their own youth, but they also got to watch new episodes along with their own children. This show dishes up a heavy dose of nostalgia for generations young and old.
