Okay, so I have no idea how long these have been available, and sorry for not mentioning it before (which would’ve been impossible, my not knowing they were available and all), but the first two complete seasons of Fairly OddParents are now streaming from NetFlix (seriously, when did this start?). This means you have at your fingertips more than seventy FOP shorts, along with longer cartoons including Abra-Catastrophe. What a sweet deal. Nick has put a bunch of its cartoons on the site for instant viewing, including Rocko, Ren & Stimpy, Real Monsters, and Angry Beavers. This is all good news (though if Chalkzone and Teenage Robot were available, it’d be even better news). You can start off your personal OddParents marathon by beginning with season one right here.

Congratulations to Butch Hartman and his crew. Nickelodeon officially announced today that it’s ordering 26 more half-hours of the Fairly OddParents. This means we’ll be seeing new episodes at least through 2010. For those of you keeping track, this takes the series up to 120 half-hours – five straight days of nothing but FOP.

The final brand new cartoon for this week, on Nick at 5:00 p.m. Remember, they’ll be re-airing all four beginning at 5:00 p.m. tomorrow.

Up for today’s brand new episode is “Open Wide and Say AAAGH!” 5:00 p.m. on Nick.

#2 of this week’s four brand new Fairly OddParents cartoons on Nick, today at 5:00 p.m. We now return you to our regularly scheduled blogging.

Well, by now, “Mission Responsible” has aired all over the U.S. Hope you enjoyed it. This title card by is pretty cool on its own, too.

Hey, FOFOP (Fans of the Fairly OddParents). What you’ve heard is true – you’ll get to see four new OddParents cartoons next week. Every day, Monday through Thursday, there will be a new 11-minute cartoon premiering on Nick at 5:00 p.m. Then, on Friday, all four will be re-shown, back-to-back, from 5:00-6:00. And, to boot, they’re all episodes featuring Poof.

When not singing “Sweet Adeline”, these guys are laborers on The Fairly OddParents. Here, they’re celebrating the large success of Fairly OddBaby, which, if you missed it on Nick, will be re-shown again and again and again (not that there’s anything wrong with that). Say hi to creator Butch Hartman, designer Ernie Gilbert, head writer Scott Fellows, and editor Otto Ferrene.

So we just got GREAT news from Nickelodeon about how awesomely well last night’s Fairly OddBaby special did. It seems it did really awesomely well, in fact. The ratings are preliminary, and I won’t bore you with most of the facts and figures, but here are just three notes that stand out:

– the highest-rated Fairly OddParents ever
– Nick’s third most-watched telecast ever among kids, 2-11 years old
– Nick’s second highest-rated telecast ever among kids 6-11 and tweens 9-14 (higher than any SpongeBob episode, too)

Congratulations to Butch, his fantastic crew, and the folks at Nick for making and breaking records. And thanks to everyone who watched (and it seems like everyone did watch, too).

And even better episodes are on their way.
