The first thing I want to get out of the way is a rant; these DVD's should have been available years ago. There is frankly no excuse for not releasing an American made cartooon in the United States especially in light of the fact that FOP season DVD's were available in other countries. That said, there are three good things about these DVD's of the first season of the Fairly OddParents; The picture and sound quality are very high, and they are in production order. It was enjoyable watching these early episodes. The only thing that prevented this from getting a higher rating is the fact there are no DVD extras. However, if you simply want the episodes, these DVD's are more than adequate.

This DVD has 2 discs. The episodes on this DVD are

DISC 1:
1.The Big Problem
2.Power Mad
3.Spaced Out
4.Transparents
5.Chin Up
6.Dog's Day Afternoon

DISC 2:
7.A Wish Too Far
8.Tiny Timmy
9.Father Time
10.Apartnership
11.Dream Goat
12.The Same Game

This DVD contains 12 episodes. It's also a Amazon exclusive. It may also work with the DVD players. Good DVD for Fairly OddFans.

It's still a good DVD, but disc 2 is missing the "Christmas Every Day" special (which is okay because that's on the Season 2 DVD). I'll now list the episode summaries on each disc:

DISC 1:
The Big Problem/Power Mad: Timmy almost looses his godparents when he wishes he was an adult./Chester and AJ get trapped in Timmy's virtual reality video game.
Spaced Out/Trans-Parents: Mark the alien winds up on Earth and falls in love with Vicky; Timmy tries to convice Mark's parents to take him back./Timmy gets C&W to poses as his parents at a parent/teacher confrense with Mr. Crocker; Chester and AJ try to catch Timmy's poofed-up dinosaur.
Chin Up/Dog's Day Afternoon: The Crimson Chin retires when Timmy shows him he's not real, but this ruins the comic book and the series will be canceled unless Timmy (as Cleft, the Boy Chin Wonder) can get the Chin back in action./Vicky treats her dog Doidle better than her "prisioners," so Timmy trades places with the dog. Timmy swiches back just in time for Doidle to get "fixed."

DISC 2:
A Wish too Far/Tiny Timmy: Timmy wishes he had cool stuff to inpress Trixie, but soon becomes overly selfish and has to pay the price./Timmy uses a shinky-suit to finish his report on micro-bioligy; C&W take a tour of Vicky.
Father Time/Apartnership: Timmy goes back in time to try to stop Dad from winning the trophy he (Timmy) broke, but has to undo it when his time change turns his Dad into the dictator of the world./Cosmo's mom, Mrs. Cosma, forces him to play a dating game; Timmy tries to make his parents anniversery dinner.
Dream Goat/The Same Game: Timmy frees the city's mascot, a goat named Chompy, because Chompy seems miserable, and pins it on Vicky. He soon startes "sleep-wishing" out of guilt, and chaos insues./Timmy wishes everyone in the world looked the same so nobody could gloat about their good looks, but the fairies can't find their godkids because of this, so they start blowing up.

Prefect FOP DVD for fans.

Nickelodeon has been programming original animated series that appeal to both kids and adults for years now. The writing for the Oddparents is witty and incisive. There are so many famous guest voices like Jay Leno, Norm MacDonald, Method Man, Alec Baldwin, Laraine Newman and even Diana DeGarmo. I started watching this show back in 1998 and fell in love with it. The animation harks back to Chuck Jones. Characters are broadly drawn but the things they say and the situations presented are just so over the top but always funny! I put this on whenever I want to forget about being an adult....it works every time!

same slight problem as the others,not sure why,but so far so good, and the dvd's have been playing ok. but again,there were a couple of small scratches,these are brand new,and should have none,but didnt want to have to send this back as well, so hopefully it will play fine forever! thanks again for your continued support.

This set is about 1 step above a bootleg version. The picture and sound are clear. So much for the positive review.

First of all, this set is misrepresented. Amazon says it's the "complete" 1st season. The DVD cover implies a complete season. Well, it isn't, not by a long shot. It includes episodes 1-13. bit omits 14-21. The technical term for this situation is "rip-off".

Speaking of non-inclusion: the unaired pilot is missing -- something that in any professional commercial production would have been at least a special feature. Speaking of special features, there are none. Zilch. Nada. Zero. There isn't even a real menu: just a choice to "play all". Or see "episodes". Or not. Thus there is no way to select individual segments of episodes. There are no subtitles. There are just plain naked episodes and I suppose we're supposed to be all excited at that miserly offering because Nickelodeon can't be bothered to do some real, professional DVDs.

I don't know what to advise here. My primarily inclination is to refuse to buy and rip-off collection. We can still hope that this popular animated series will eventuall receive the DVD presentation it deserves. Buying this will only encourage the stupids who thought it up.

On the other hand, who's to say that Nikelodeon will ever come to its senses. It's presented a lot of really good cartoons without ever putting them on DVD.

(By the way, the Season 2 set is more nearly complete.)

Well, it's a piece of trash, but you may need to pay the requisite blackmail just to insure that at least you have these episodes on DVD, no matter now badly produced.

Fairly Odd Parents season 1 dvd box set without the Oh Yeah Cartoon episodes is a complaint.
Someone leave a message or a note to the Nickelodeon studio or Nicktoons studio about making a FOP DVD with the Oh Yeah Cartoon shorts. I think I have a couple options make another FOP DVD of the 1st season, the first 6 episodes with the Oh Yeah Cartoon episodes or a FOP DVD of the Oh Yeah Cartoon episodes when they were in the actual show and redubbed Timmy's voice to what it sounds like in the first 6 episodes. The person who played Timmy's voice in the actual show was Tara Strong. I really wish they reaired the Oh Yeah Cartoon Episodes or return back to the actual FOP show with the same original airdates, but they're just returning by the time they get released on DVD. The Fairly Odd Parents Oh Yeah Cartoon Episodes atleast have great humor.

Oh Yeah Cartoons does shorts of 2 Nicktoon series Fairly Odd Parents and Chalk Zone.
I love the old Fairly Odd Parents episodes better than the new episodes. It stinks when they got rid the episodes with Oh Yeah Cartoon shorts out of the actual FOP series. They should re-air these episodes just so it would be released on DVD or some other kind of technology such as blue-ray. The original FOP shorts were on another animated series on Nickelodeon called Oh Yeah Cartoons since 1999, these episodes were on the actual FOP series on 2001. The original Fairly Odd Parents episodes are AWESOME!!! (original FOP series, AKA The first 6 episodes and the episodes with Oh Yeah Cartoon shorts, when they were on the actual FOP series). The FOP episodes with Oh Yeah Cartoon shorts were on the actual FOP series on summer '01 after Nickelodeon aired the first 6 Fairly Odd Parents episodes on Spring of '01 and all of 2002 throughout when Nickelodeon aired Chalk Zone on Spring '02.

History:
Fairly Odd Parents was on Oh Yeah Cartoons on 1999-2000 just like Chalk Zone.
FOP episodes with Oh Yeah Cartoon shorts on the actual Fairly Odd Parents series and air-dates:
- Scout's Honor/Really Bad Day/Super Humor June 29, 2001
-Fairly Odd Parents/Too Many Timmy's/Fairy Flu August 24, 2001
-Party of 3/ The Temp/ The Zappy's August 31, 2001


I love Scouts Honor the best out of these original FOP episodes!

I miss the original Fairly Odd Parents Series much as I do with Chalk Zone on Nickelodeon!!!
Chalk Zone and Fairly Odd Parents are awesome shows!!!
