There's still no solid confirmation that the show has been cancelled. It isn't exactly unheard of for cartoons to continue production after the creator has called it quits, and if this holds true for The Fairly OddParents, it most certaintly wouldn't be the first Nickelodeon show to continue production without any involvement from the creator.


* The show's ending is this as well. While most would agree that the show was long past its prime, there is still something deeply saddening about seeing one of the longest-running and most iconic cartoons of the 2000's end with such a whimper.
