The Fairly OddParents
The Fairly OddParents is an American animated fantasy television series created by Butch Hartman for Nickelodeon. The series began life as a segment of Oh Yeah Cartoons! in 1998 before being turned into a full-fledged series in 2001. It lasted until 2017, spanning 172 episodes across 10 seasons. During the series' run, there were also several television movies (three of which were live-action). A live-action sequel series Fairly OddParents: Fairly Odder began airing on Paramount+ in 2022.
Timmy Turner is given two magical fairies; Cosmo and Wanda, after being neglected by his parents and bullied by his babysitter, Vicky. Cosmo and Wanda's job is to grant Timmy any wish as long as it doesn't go against Da Rules. Having run out of ideas in 2008, the series jumped the shark and saved itself from cancellation by introducing Cosmo and Wanda's baby, Poof, which was then followed by Timmy's magic dog, Sparky, and Timmy's neighbor, Chloe Carmicle, with whom Timmy has to share Cosmo and Wanda.
Since Hartman previously worked at Hanna-Barbera, it's no surprise he would squeeze in references to his old job's cartoons.
Flintstones
- Channel Chasers (part 2): Timmy, Cosmo, and Wanda are sent into a parody of The Flintstones called The Meatflints. They live life like a "modern stone-age family" as Timmy puts it, and proceed to work the TV remote in typical Flintstones fashion with a tiny pterodactyl flying out to turn on the TV. Meanwhile, Cosmo disturbs a sleeping sabretooth tiger resembling Baby Puss with Dino's color scheme. They run around the house in a background loop mocking the limited budget that Hanna-Barbera had, with the pterodactyl commenting, "It's a cycle," instead of the usual "It's a living." They then hop into the Flintmobile, and while "driving away," Timmy points out that if the cars in this show are powered by feet, shouldn't they just keep running? During this time, Timmy, Cosmo, and Wanda are dressed like Bamm-Bamm, Fred, and Betty respectively, but still retaining the colors of their own outfits. There is also an error as the Meatflints on the TV Guide is called The Turnstones.

- Channel Chasers (part 1): Timmy is sent to a parody of The Jetsons called The Futurellis.
