The Feldmans is a television program that appeared in The Fairly OddParents television special, "Channel Chasers".

InformationEdit

This show is a parody of the real life television show The Simpsons, an adult comedy cartoon which has been running on television for nearly three decades. The Feldman sequence features references to many different characters and gags from the Simpsons.

BackgroundEdit

This show is the eighteenth show visited in "Channel Chasers", after Timmy Turner wished for a Magic TV Remote that allowed him to travel through television as if the programs were real worlds. While chasing Vicky through television channels, Timmy Turner, his future self, Cosmo, and Wanda ended up in this television show.

The show bears many striking resemblances to The Simpsons including character designs, a city with a nuclear power plant, and the introduction sequence featuring a chalk board, with Timmy writing on the chalkboard "Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery", a message of admiration towards the original Simpsons makers and a reference to a changing gag in the Simpsons title sequence (much like Vicky's headgags). The house Timmy and his future self flee to looks extremely similar to the original Simpsons house.

Vicky appeared as a flying lady bug, a possible reference the Simpsons Bumblebee Man. Vicky damaged part of the nuclear power plant, causing green sludge to cover the city. While trying to find help, Timmy realized that the adults in the show were even dumber than usual, which also extended to his grown up self during the short time they were inside this program. Adult Timmy still managed to rescue younger Timmy from the sludge, although had some trouble coordinating his jump into the television to enter the next program.
