Fairly Oddparents

Fairly Oddparents is a very "Do or Die" show. On one hand, its humor can be funny and endearing, its character dynamics interesting and plots original. But on the other hand, Fo P suffers from two major flaws, its habit of stereotyping (Especially the British) and an over-reliance on Running Gags. The shows high points are its TV movies (Not the live-action ones), such as Channel Chasers and Wishology. Witch not only contain good jokes, but also emotional moments and plenty of references. However, the show also has stereotypes that would seem more at home in Family Guy. For example, in "A bad case of diary-uh!" we see Vicky's love interest, who is nothing more than British stereotypes, e.g. drinking tea, bad teeth and he constantly made remarks like "We Brits love X, they remind us of the hunt!" And the later seasons tended to carry a Running gag for too long. Being brought up as much as five times an episode. But despite these two flaws, Fo P remains a popular and well loved franchise. So if you can get past these, its a show that is well worth your time.
