The plot: Upper middle class suburbanite kid is given two magic wish granters because his baby sitter was kinda mean.
The primary antagonisms:
His wishes violate some bourgeois set of rules.
His wishes are granted, but bite him in the ass.
The primary lessons:
Follow the rules, never question them, only recourse is trying to lawyer around them with technicalities.
Never want better things, lest it upset the status quo.
Action is never an acceptable way of getting what you want, only wish fulfillment.
Never reveal that you possess methods capable of improving the lives of others.
I consider this show a training program to get children to become good liberals. My lil bro used to watch this show as a kid, and I was too young / libbed to express my distaste for it.
Fairly Oddparents was distilled idealism.
