The Fairly Odd Parents and co. created by Butch Hartman!

Seeing as no news about an 11th season has been forthcoming, I guess this show is (finally!) dead.

... And sadly, all I can say is "Good Riddance!". Then again, I was never a fan of this show; despite a good concept at play, I never could stand any of the characters - and the humor either never really grabbed me or was just rather annoying to a point where I couldn't stand what I was watching all that much.

After awhile, everything just felt like padding, in what's supposed to be a comedy. Sure, some of the movie specials (especially Channel Chasers - which I agree is how things should have ended! Even if just IMHO.) tried to rectify this, but even then..... After Channel Chasers, anyway - it was just as downhill from there as it was the rest of this show, sadly.

Yeah, unlike you guys (who I know love/respect this show...), I'm not losing too much sleep over this if this is truly the end, honestly.

In my opinion, FOP is a show for the 2000's area of animation. A lot of things that they could get away with then, wouldn't as appealing now. They've milked this cow too dry where there is nothing left.

Too bad it didn't end sooner. I mean, CC and maybe Wishology would have made for good finales, and it didn't even go out with a bang, and seemingly not even with a whimper.

They might reboot the series yet,you never know..

No reboots. I want this to die.

Yeah, I say let this show rest. It has far overstayed its welcome.

I can't help but feel kind of sad to see it go out the way it did, honestly. I loved this show growing up, and to see it go out disgracefully as a mere shell of the clever and witty show that it used to be is kind of a bummer.

No one actually said it was dead.

But that's not the sad part; the sad part is that even if it is technically alive, it lost all of its wit, charm, and quality years ago and became a terrible, soulless cashgrab zombie.

Hartman explains why he leaves Nick after 20 years.

This is quite sad, yet acceptable. I mean, I honestly just hoped he'd make another Danny Phantom before he left, but I can accept that he now is free to make his own creations instead of being chained to one company. I hope for the best for his future.

I think even he realizes that he needs to move on. I say he should move to Disney, since every former Cartoon Network maker goes there when they need somewhere to branch themselves out again.

Butch's own words on this matter.

I guess that might explain why Channel Chasers, Grow Up Timmy Turner, Abra-Catastrophe, Wishology, and Jimmy Timmy Power Hour 3 all seemed like series finales.

Seems that Hartman has gone back to Cartoon Network.

Kind of ironic now that he was recently badmouthing The T Tgo to the movies trailer.

Channel Chasers 2, or a display of creative fan art. Timmy goes into Nick, CN, Disney, Adult Cartoons, Preschool Cartoons, Anime, and even comic strips!

What

I'm going to try to move a discussion from the Nickelodeon thread over here since it seems more on-topic. Here's a link to the discussion this is caryiing on from https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13904374840A76970000&page=153#comment-3815

Basically, Butch created a Kickstarter for a streaming service, but apparently he lied about the nature of it - he was promoting it as a streaming service for 'family friendly content', but not it appears its for christian media aimed at children

I'm starting to wonder if Buch owns someone a lot of money and starting a fraudulent platform is his way of pay them off

In my opinion, this controversy just seems overblown and too much assumptions going on. It's not confirmed he did that, but it's just from people who assumed he did it because of some interviews that mentioned his religious stances.

There's plenty of other stuff to criticize about his kickstarter beyond that. The manipulative rhetoric Hartman has employed to get people to donate, having no real names attached to the project besides Hartman's despite his insistence that there would be other people besides himself, him refusing to really address people's concerns in a serious way, etc.

At best it was always a clueless and over-ambitious project from a well-meaning but misguided man.

So Butch Hartman is running a cult based on himself and scams people for his agenda, basically. Because of this, he has lost the respect of many. Also, he's a homophobe with a diaper fetish.

And this is how telephone communication works, things get so distorted due to bandwagon outrage that when things clear up they are not as what they seem.

. . . So does that mean Butch does or does not have a diaper fetish? Cause coming from a guy like me who is into vore THAT is the lowesr form of fetishes.

Anyway, this whole Kickstarter wasn’t good idea anyway considering its to fund an entire streaming service. For starter the description he gives to his new service is pretty open ended to interpretstion as to what it will be, so backers don’t want to get involved with such an undefinned project. As previous commentors stated his Kickstarter does not state what kind of shows will be on said stream, thus furthering backers to not get involved with such an unknown concept of a stream. And especially compare to other streaming networks like Boomerang and DC All Access which gives people a good idea as to how different their service is and presented what kind of content they will provide.

If its for a new show, I could see the Kickstarter being successful but a streaming service that is just not feasible.
