Description Now unlike my usual reviews, I won't be doing an overall review for this season since it's really short and consists of only specials. Instead I'm just going to do a mini-review each special separately. Let's begin.

Love Struck: This special sucks. It's a Spellementary School episode yet somehow manages to be WORSE than that episode. Similar to that one, this episode feels like it goes on forever with all the babyish encounters between Poof and Foop, this being worse since it's a special. Tie that with a cringeworthy "love" plot and you get one of the weakest pre-HD FOP episodes.

Timmy's Secret Wish: To put it simply, first half sucks, second half solid. The first half is just a really boring court situation which makes out Timmy to be a lot worse than he actually is (don't get why later seasons do this so much lol), plus it wasn't very funny. Once the secret wish is introduced, this episode gets interested. The twist actually makes some sense in the cartoon world since in these worlds the characters don't age, and I guess this could explain that. There's a humorous scene where everyone becomes older (reminds of of an Ed, Edd, n Eddy episode), and the new location, the Hocus Poconos, was really creative and created some fun action sequences. This is the worst TV movie out of all of the ones there are, but at the end of the day it doesn't deserve all the hate it gets (only some).

Invasion of the Dads: This is a sequel to Add-a-Dad and I love it almost as much as this episode. Creative plot, the Dads being absolutely hilarious once more, and just in-general being a fun ride, this sequel to the already top-tier predecessor simply delivers well.

When Losers Attack: Man, who would've thought the combination of all these well-known villains in the show would've paid off so well? Simply hilarious and fun from start to finish, only issue is it's sequel is horrific lol (though that's not this episode's fault haha).

Meet the OddParents!: One of the best of the entire show. Personally I wish the show ended here if it couldn't end earlier. This episode doesn't particularly have a complex plot, but the concept is really intriguing and the way this episode develops to its truly emotional ending is simply spectacular, plus this episode makes great use of the moments that aren't showcasing emotion to be absolutely hilarious, like that whole scene with Timmy's Dad as president. Overall, I wish this was the series finale, but sadly it wasn't.

So to summarize, the first two specials were pretty bleh, but the last three really brought this season up. I know the rating is "Solid Season" but that's mainly based on the mean, honestly the three high-quality specials of this season solely make up for those two lackluster ones. Anyways that's all for this season, next up is season 9 which is the first HD season and where most people are turned off from the show.

I think Meet the OddParents would’ve been a great finale.
