Episode number: 67b

Timmy becomes the star of a reality show popular in fairy world, but ratings executives are trying to meddle in his life.

Tropes:

  • Executive Meddling: An In-Universe example with Timmy's reality show. The fairy executives use this opportunity to convince Timmy to make a few changes in order to increase the show's ratings, such as changing Timmy's hat purple, replacing Timmy's mom with Florence Henderson, and replacing Chester and AJ with monkeys. Timmy, however, draws the line at getting rid of Cosmo and Wanda.
  • No Celebrities Were Harmed: Simon Sparklefield is a fairy spoof of Simon Cowell.
  • The Scrappy: In-Universe, Cosmo and Wanda are apparently some of the least liked characters in "Timmy TV". When Cosmo asks a crowd "Who loves Cosmo?", everybody just gives him a stern look, followed by Chirping Crickets; and Simon Sparklefield complains that Wanda's habit of "nagging" makes her the third least popular character in the show.
  • "Truman Show" Plot: This episode shows that Timmy's life is being secretly broadcast in Fairy World as a reality show.
  • Vocal Dissonance: A male background fairy yells "It's Timmy" but he has a very girly voice.
