Timmy Turner is an average 10-year old boy who wishes for a perfect life. Unfortunately, he has parents who work full time, like most kids, and while they are out he has an evil babysitter, Icky-with-a-V, who revels in tormenting him. By his side are his constant companions, his Fairy God Parents Cosmo (the idiot) and Wanda (the perfect straight-woman). Hilarity ensues as Timmy wishes himself into--and out of--all sorts of magical situations!
