Season 5 cancellation

2006 Cancellation
Originally, The Fairly OddParents ended alongside Jimmy Neutron with the third crossover special, Jimmy Timmy Power Hour 3:The Jerkinators. The movie was meant to serve as the series finale for both cartoons, but it was poorly received and did little to wrap up loose ends in the plot, instead seeming more like another episode of OddParents rather than a series finale.

2008 Revival
In 2007, it was revealed that new OddParents episodes had been ordered for production. A marathon of OddParents was launched, accumulating with 77 Secrets of The Fairly Odd Parents Revealed! This special also revealed that Cosmo and Wanda would be having a baby soon.

Season 6 kicked off with the special Fairly Odd Baby and with Poof's birth, the shoe was reborn. The special garnered high ratings which resulted in at least two more seasons worth of episodes being ordered. Although no special since then has topped Fairly Odd Baby in ratings, Wishology did exceptionally well. (Note: Although the title of Wishology Part 3 suggests it was meant as a series finale, it was already known to the general public by then that another season was in production) Wishology was the season finale, although Season 7 began shortly afterward.

Season 7 began with the TV special Anti-Poof, and is currently running (as of 10/21/09) with at least six more episodes scheduled to premiere.
