List of episodes

The fifth season of The Fairly OddParents started on July 2, 2004 (2004-07-02). In this season, the show aired its seventh TV movie, Fairy Idol, and two Jimmy Timmy Power Hour movies. After "The Jerkinators", the series and Jimmy Neutron seem to end, but later in 2006, they aired episodes that chronologically come before the season finale. After the latter ended its run on November 25, 2006, The Fairly OddParents was sent on hiatus for 15 months, between November 2006 and February 2008. It was produced by Frederator Studios and Nickelodeon Animation Studio.

Season 5 was the last season to be distributed by Nelvana International and so is the last to air on Disney Channel and Jetix (depending on the country).

Timmy wishes to do the opposite of what his parents tell him to do. It goes well at first, but when they tell him to be a good boy, he turns evil and attempts to destroy Dimmsdale.

Note: The Bad Parent Hunter was based on the late crocodile hunter Steve Irwin. This segment was withdrawn from later broadcast after his death on September 4, 2006.[2]

Guest star: Jay Leno as The Crimson Chin

Note: This would be Britney Britney's last major role time appearance (aside her brief cameo in "Timmy TV") in the original series' run. She would not be utilized again until the 6th season episode "Momnipresent" in 2009 before being written out from the show, mainly because of her real life counterpart's negative reputation in 2006.[6]

7011"Crash Nebula"Butch HartmanButch Hartman & Steve MarmelErik WieseJuly 2, 2004 (2004-07-02)FOP−173N/A
FOP−174

Timmy gets ready to watch Crash Nebula but gets into an argument with Cosmo and Wanda about what episode it is. The episode chronicled Sprig Speevak, the alter-ego of the hero Crash Nebula.

Note 1: Despite airing on July 2, 2004, it is considered part of Season 5 when referring to packaging order (the episode, however, was produced during season 3). Butch Hartman had attempted to create Crash Nebula as a spin-off animated series. This episode only ran a few times before Hartman cancelled the spin-off for many reasons.[7]

Note 2: This was the last episode to air on Jetix and Disney Channel internationally, and the final episode syndicated as a part of Nelvana's distribution package for the series.

Guest stars: James Arnold Taylor as Sprig Speevak, Nika Futterman as Ani, Justin Berfield as Ving, Michael Clarke Duncan as Rockwell, and Queen Latifah as Pam Dromeda.

Soon, they end up in the lost city of Atlantis where Cosmo is taken captive when it is revealed that he had sunk the city 9 times.

While trying to bond with his grandfather, Pappy (who hasn't babysat him since Timmy was a baby, and whose senility is why Timmy has horrible buck teeth), Pappy gets Timmy interested in the "gratuitous-yet-non-imitatable" violent cartoons of his youth (a Popeye spoof called Poke-Eye: The Longshoreman), but when the TV breaks, Cosmo and Wanda send Timmy and Pappy into the fun, yet dangerous world of a 1930s cartoon.
After finding an old sci-fi book in the attic, Timmy wishes that the world was futuristic as what's in the book.
