The Fairly OddParents - "A Wish Too Far!"

Man, I guess it's been a while since I've reviewed a Fairly OddParents episode. But it doesn't matter, since, Butch Hartman has his own interview channel on YouTube, I thought I would review a few episodes again for him. This one is from the first season, it is called "A Wish Too Far!"

Okay, what's the story? Oh yes. Timmy has a crush on Trixie Tang (as we all should know by now), and he wants so desperately for her to see him and like him, but however, that's impossible because he's not popular like Trixie, Veronica, and Tad and Chad are. In a desperate attempt to get attention, Timmy wishes to look like a popular kid just like the aforementioned four, even going so far as to dumping his friends, and even making so many ridiculous wishes to the fairies, without even a please or a thanks, it goes so far in fact that he ends up being sued by Fairy World and sent to Fairy Court. Will they reach the verdict? Stay tuned to find out.

This episode is pretty funny, even if Timmy did indeed act out of character in this one, I like how Timmy pushes away Chester and AJ as well as Veronica suspecting that all this was just a trap which sadly is kind of true. I even like Cosmo's attempt at a laser targeted defense, by acting as a fireman? Don't ask me, they're just showing! If there's one thing I didn't like, it has to be Jorgen Von Strangle in his first appearance here. He sounds too much like Arnold Schwarzenegger, and not too raspy, like how his voice would be later on. And he made the Judge change is mind even though Timmy said he was sorry to the entire court! Only a fire-burning Wanda would stop him, only on one conclusion.

Have we reached the verdict? Guilty or not guilty? Not guilty! This episode is very good. And it also had a good moral, just be yourself. Let's just say Timmy Turner had to learn that out the hard way.

Also, bet you didn't know that SpongeBob storyboard artist, Erik Wiese storyboarded this episode? His only other episode he storyboarded for this show was "Beddy Bye."

Go ahead and give this episode a watch if you haven't already.

  1. Should we consider putting this on the chart of good and bad episodes?
