Bingo #1

(disclaimer: fanfic only, not a headcanon)

(Themes for my #1: Crossover(with Ghostwriter a 90′s PBS show, because I can), Setting: Family Reunion, and Sam Works at the Nasty Burger)

It was that time again, not that Paulina Sanchez was looking forward to it or anything. Some of her cousins were cool and all, and her aunts and female relatives liked her fashion advice. The problem was that the places they picked for meeting were always extremely awkward.

Last year was the Chinese Food Buffet. The year before was at her house, in the backyard, with a live mariachi band (not that she hated mariachi music or anything; in fact it was pretty cool). Five years ago it was in Brooklyn, NY, at the park near her cousin’s place, which was a small store with an apartment complex above it. Renting out the apartment rooms was where they made most of their money, so she wasn’t sure why they still maintained the store except for nostalgia. Of course, compared to her family, they weren’t that rich.

This year, her grandpa wanted to - no, insisted - upon meeting at a burger place, so her father suggested Nasty Burger. Cringe. That girl she used to be friends with, Valerie, worked there. She did not want her to see her act in a non-popular way with her family. No.

But her father, as usual, never listened to her complaints when it came to the family reunion locale, and all the others agreed. So, Nasty Burger it was.

The family rented out the whole place, so she didn’t have to worry about her friends at school running into her today. She greeted her aunt Mari with kisses, her Grandma with hugs. She was momentarily the center of attention, with everyone complimenting her on her beauty and perfection - well, maybe that was just her female cousins.

Her favorite cousin was Gaby, who was already a career woman, working successfully at a fashion magazine. In fact, she was one of her style icons, and Paulina wasn’t afraid to admit it. Her brother Alex, though, helped run the family store and always read mysteries.

If he likes them that much, he should write them himself.

Not that she would say that aloud. He was nice enough.

“Lina!” Gaby said, and they exchanged kisses.

“Gabs, I love your outfit today. It’s casual, and chic!”

“Not so bad yourself. Hmm, looks like everyone else has ordered and I’m starving. How about you?”

“Same.”

“So, dating anyone?” Gaby asked as they walked up to order.

“Not yet,” Paulina said, sighing. “I’m currently enjoying my wide range of admirers. If I picked someone, they might be hurt and never talk to me again!”

“Ah, youth,” Gaby said, shaking her head. Paulina figured she was jealous, but she wasn’t surprised. She was the object of envy everywhere. “Well don’t wait too long, but of course there’s always college.”

“I know, right? I’m so excited! There’s only a year to go and there are so many schools with sports teams.”

“Aiming for a scholarship?”

“Of course. My grades aren’t that bad. Right now, I’m around…3.0?” Of course, she had her bestie Star to thank for that, since she was too busy studying style trends in class to pay attention.

“I don’t see how you do it. Keep it up, girlfriend.”

The cashier girl was turned around, so Paulina focused on deciding what to order. The Junior Mini Nasty Burger sounded appealing, but she got that too often these days and needed a change-up. Recently they added salads to the menu, and the chicken Nasty salad sounded perfect, at only 120 calories.

“Excuse me, I’m ready to order,” Paulina said to get the cashier’s attention.

The one who turned around was not who she was expecting.

“Sam?” Paulina said with a gasp.

“Oh boy, not a face I wanted to see,” Sam said in a droll voice.

“Friends?” Gaby said, pointing to the both of them.

“No,” Sam and Paulina replied.

“Oh.”

“Anyway, where’s Valerie?” Paulina asked, looking around. It was too bad her wish for Valerie to be gone was activated, as she preferred her to Sam. She was just too negative and boring, even though her looks weren’t that bad. If only she wore the right makeup…

“She begged me to take her shift today because she’s sick. Me? Serving meat?”

“Well it’s a good thing you don’t work in the kitchen.” She’d hate to get grass again. It was low calorie but what was the point of low calorie if it didn’t taste good? Bad tasting food made her looks worse because of stress.

“That’s…true. Well, what would you like to order?” She looked surprised at Paulina’s wise words. Maybe I’m getting through to her after all?

“I would like to get the chicken Nasty salad please.”

“Why chicken? What about the bean salad?” Sam twitched.

“But I don’t want the bean salad. I want the chicken salad.”

“Oh, that’s too bad. One…chicken…salad.” As she typed the code into the cash register, she glared at Paulina like she wanted to drill a hole into her or something.

Paulina simply smiled. Smiles always overpower darkness, just like Papa always says.

After they paid, Paulina turned around to see Alex there.

“Hey, isn’t this that goth girl you talk about that goes to your school and knows a lot about ghosts, and that ghost boy?” Once Alex was excited about a topic, he never stopped.

“You want to know about ghosts?” Paulina said, getting excited herself. “I’ll tell you all about my ghost boy.”

“You talk about me?” Sam said with a surprised look. “And I mean, this doesn’t even sound negative.”

“Girl,” Paulina said with a flick of her hair. “If I’m going to talk bad about you I’ll do it to your face. I’m not rude.”

“That’s…still rude,” Gaby said.

“I’m just being honest and expressing my feelings!” Paulina insisted. “That’s what people like about me.”

Alex put a notebook on the table. “If you know about ghosts, have you heard of Ghostwriter?”

“Sure I have,” Sam said, eyeing the notebook. “He taught my boyfriend the meaning of Christmas two years ago, apparently.”

“Really? So it’s true that ghosts live in some kind of alternate dimension?”

“The Ghost Zone, as we call it. Why do you ask, and how have you heard of Ghostwriter? I don’t think he’s ever even left his lair, for the most part. He doesn’t cause much trouble.”

“I wonder if it’s the same ghost I know then. The thing is, when Gaby and I were kids, we and a group of friends would solve mysteries with him. He and his messages could only be seen by kids, and he couldn’t talk or hear, only read and write.”

“The Ghostwriter I know talks just fine. There’s another Ghostwriter?”

“Look here.” He opened a notebook to reveal case notes dated in the 90s. “He was a good guy. Hearing about the ghost boy being a good guy, and people being able to see ghosts in this town, I had to come to this year’s reunion. Too bad I couldn’t make it last year. If this town is something special, I’d want to see him again, and thank him for being a friend. And all his help…”

“The last time we saw him, he still lived in the words of this notebook,” Gaby said. “I wonder if he feels lonely. We probably got too old to see him. We still write to him though. You and Lina are still young though. Maybe you two can talk to him?” She pulled a felt pen out of her bag and sat it next to the notebook.

Paulina looked warily at the notebook and felt pen. “This feels like that thing in middle school where two people grab a pen and see what it writes. Goth girl, you probably know what it’s called.”

“That was a stupid game, and I think it’s off topic,” Sam said, turning to a blank page on the notebook. “Sure, let’s write I guess.” She picked up the felt pen and wrote “Are you Ghostwriter?”

Paulina looked expectantly at the page, somehow hoping a sexy ghost would pop out. Nothing happened.

“Alex, are you messing with my young and easily influenced mind again?” Paulina said with a pout.

“No, I’m serious.”

“But, seriously, nothing-”

“Paulina, look!” Sam said.

She turned back to the notebook. The words were glowing and started moving on the page. They formed a glowing orb with two arcs on top.

“Looks like some kind of wifi icon, Sam,” Paulina observed.

“You’re…right on about that.”

“Of course I am, do you think I’m dumb or something?”

Sam’s blank stare answered that question.

“Hey! Why are you so mean?”

Words formed on the page to read:

“Hello, children. Sam, lover of ghost mysteries. Paulina, a friend of the people.”

“And how does he know that?” Sam asked, while Paulina just nodded in agreement.

“I see it too!” Alex said, while Gaby wiped a tear. “Why didn’t he say anything all this time?”

Paulina opened her hand and Sam passed her the pen. Paulina wrote, “Gaby and Alex value your friendship. They want to solve mysteries with you again. Is it okay?”

The words reformed to read: “Of course. I would love to.”

“Aww,“ Paulina squealed. “I love a good ending, don’t you?”

Sam offered a slight smile.

After that, Gaby and Alex gladly told Paulina more about the Ghostwriter, and their middle school adventures, over the meal.

This year’s family reunion was a bit more eventful than the others. It was too bad the Ghostwriter was hiding his true form. Paulina knew he was secretly a fluffy bunny or something. And she loved fluffy bunnies!

Tryings I get the word out on this! Check what sanitizers you've purchased. If it's Purell or Suave, you should be good. It's the lesser brands used to fill the gap that you should watch out for.

Do you feel the Diamonds turning around in SU made sense? Don't feel you need to make an essay.

I personally didn't see a problem with it. Thing is people like to compare the Diamond Authority to Nazis, but honestly they're more like the expansionist empires like the old British Empire with there emphasis on expansion for resources, emphasis on class, and courts based around their leaders. People accuse them of going on a genocidal rampage or having issues with "organics" but there's nothing in the lore to really showcase that this is their goal. They look for resources to reproduce, but that's it. They don't have a desire to kill everything not a Gem. They literally just don't care. Organics are beneath notice. But back to the Diamonds, they fleshed them out that while they were clearly flawed and did bad things, it showed that they were people too and we weren't supposed to brush aside the bad things they did, but just see them as people and not faceless enemies like a lot of sci-fi/action shows do. I think part of the reason why I didn't mind them turning around is because ultimately the harm they did could be undone. The Gems corrupted could be cured, the system they imposed, could be changed. Obviously it was a struggle just to make that happen, but it's easier to forgive someone who's mistakes can be fixed as opposed to someone who murdered someone who CAN'T come back. It's why I have issues with characters like Vegeta or Omni-Man. The people they murdered before turning good? They aren't coming back. They're DEAD. And they will stay dead. And them reforming isn't gonna bring any comfort to the families of their victims.

But, again, back to the Diamonds. Ultimately this is gonna be something different for everyone. I personally think it was done well because it showed that these leaders were ultimately very messed up people who hadn't been right in a long time and as a result their society was collapsing with it. By fixing them things got better. Cause here's the thing: what would killing them have done? Would that have fixed anything? Most Gems are singularly devoted to their leaders. Would they just suddenly join the side of the people who just killed them? Not likely.

SU was unique in that it showed that a lot of this stuff is sadly never so cut and dry. There was a LOT of very horrible stuff in the show that they dealt with and treated as wrong, as they should. But things like overthrowing an empire or even fighting one aren't something as easy as fiction makes it. It was considered a victory that the Homeworld LEFT Earth, and most of the Crystal Gems were driven mad as a result.

But ultimately, yeah it made sense to me. The only reason shit went as bad as it did and got worse for Homeworld was the fact they though Pink had died. Her still living on in the form of her son helped heal the wounds her death left and ultimately left the Empire all the better for it. I know a lot of people are used to having things be purely black and white in fiction, which is why some people reacted COMPLETELY over the top when the heroes made mistakes or the villains were sympathetic. But that's just a bit of reality. Sometimes villains have emotions outside of a desire to do harm and sometimes heroes make mistakes despite being fundamentally being human.

Whether someone thinks this was a good call or not is ultimately up to them, their world view, or how they enjoy fiction. As long as they don't make it personal by attacking the cast or crew, I don't mind if they don't agree with me. Just don't be an ass about it.

Visual Aid: 107 Danny Phantom Facts

So I did this again.

(It’s what keeps me occupied when my husband’s asleep and the tablet pen is charging~)

((This one was barely longer than the 10 Years Later, Part 2, but it took all day for some reason...))

Let’s get this thing started~

Hey everybody, Butch Hartman here. I am so excited today because I'm teaming up with Channel Frederator today to talk about my show, Danny Phantom. Can give you the inside scoop.

You guys remember the fandom? Are you kind of curious about the show? Well, relax, we've got something for everybody here as we talk about the 107 facts about Danny Phantom.

For example, did you know that the 2005 Michael Jackson trial was actually features on Vlad's TV on one episode? It's there.

107 Facts: Danny Phantom.

001 Danny Phantom was created by me, Butch Hartman, after I had previously worked on the Fairly Odd Parents with Nickelodeon.

002 When making the show, I drew a lot of inspiration from Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Ghostbusters.

003 The title Danny Phantom was inspired by the titles of 1960's cartoons like Jonny Quest. More specifically, I wanted to create a title with a real first name, followed by a last name that was also kind of an action word. Some of these alternative action words were "Danny Thunder" "Danny Lightning" and "Danny Power". "Danny Phantom" was the name I went with cause I thought it sounded the coolest.

004 Some of the alternative first names I had for our hero included "Billy Phantom", "Kenny Phantom", "Jackie Phantom", and "Davey Phantom". I think you'll agree they don't quite have the same ring as "Danny Phantom" does.

005 I came up with the concept for the show Danny Phantom while driving a moving van from Las Vegas to Los Angeles with my mother. Unfortunately, she was more fascinated by the sight of a desert tortoise, than the birth of a new, awesome Nicktoon.

006 Before settling on a superhero show, one of my first concepts for Danny Phantom was a bit more in the main Ghostbusters. It was called Danny Phantom and the Specter Detectors, and it would have focused on a powerless Danny and his friends hunting down ghosts, using an array of ghostbusters-like gadgets.

007 Danny Phantom was pitched to Nickelodeon executives over dinner. Execs treated me after they ordered more episodes of Fairly Odd Parents, and they happened to ask me if I had any more ideas for TV shows. And, yes, being treated to nice dinners is definitely an appreciated perk.

008 There's some early concept art of Danny showing a surprising design. I originally drew him with the Superman-type body, which was basically a lot of unrealistic buff muscles. I reverted to the slimmer design when I decided it's be more interesting to portray Danny as a fourteen-year-old kid.

009 I decided Danny should be fourteen years old because that age is kind of a bridge between childhood and adulthood. It's more of a period of self-discovery which certainly fits the theme of Danny learning to live and control his ghostly abilities.

010 Danny's skinnier, final design, was the collaborative effort of character designers Steven Silver, Shannon Tyndall, and - surprise - me.

011 Unlike many other cartoon characters, Danny has five fingers. Take that Timmy Turner.

012 You may notice that when Danny goes ghost, only his hair turns white and his eyebrows stay black. They're actually meant to be white as well, but we all thought the white brows made Danny look like an old man so we, uh, kept 'em.

013 Sam and Danny were originally meant to share a psychic connection, so one would know where the other one was at all times. But I scrapped this to keep things simple. Only Danny was finally to have the superpowers.

014 Danny was originally gonna have a pet owl named Spooky that would be able to track ghosts. I scrapped the concept as Harry Potter rapidly gained popularity. I didn't want his series to be constantly compared to the boy wizard.

015 I wanted to give Danny a really cool ghost motorcycle to use as his primary means of transportation, but then I realized that giving a motorcycle was pointless because, you know, he can fly really fast.

016 The father-son duo of Jack and Danny Fenton are a reference to Jack and Danny Torrance from The Shining, which explains why Jack Fenton constantly accuses his children of being ghosts.

017 I gave Danny an older sibling because, unlike Timmy Turner, I felt that Jazz Fenton would make Danny feel less in control at home and give him somebody to contend with. I thought this lack of control would make Danny's experience with his superpowers all the more satisfying for him.

018 Jazz Fenton was named after a character in John Byrne's 1990's comic book Next Men. I always thought the name Jazz was cool.

019 Tucker Foley's name is a combination of actor and comedian Chris Tucker and Eddie Murphy's character from Beverly Hills Cop, Axel Foley.

020 Danny's teacher, Mr. Lancer, is named after a family restaurant in Burbank called, you guessed it, Lancer's.

021 Vlad Masters was originally going to be a vampire, but Nickelodeon execs thought making him a Vampire could lead to some pretty violent territory and I thought that too. So he was changed into a ghost.

022 A remnant of this scrapped concept can be found in his villain name "Vlad Plasmius". Plasma is found in blood which, you know, vampires kind of have a thirst for.

023 I refer to Vlad Masters as Danny Phantom's Lex Luthor. Like Luthor, Vlad uses his wealth to exert his power, or at least some of it. He also has a personal connection to Danny that gives him the upper hand in most scenarios.

024 Danny's love interest, Paulina Sanchez, is a parallel to Superman's love interest, Lois Lane. Both characters have no romantic interest in the protagonist because they have a crush on the protagonist's superhero alter ego. Lois loves Superman, but not Clark Kent, and Paulina loves Danny Phantom, but not Danny Fenton. Paulina: But you still have no shot with me Oh, the cruel irony.

025 Danny's ghost sense is identical to Spiderman's spider sense. Both senses alert their respective heroes whenever danger is nearby.

026 The parallels of Spiderman don't end there. Dash Baxter is a parallel to Peter Parker's football playing bully, Flash Thompson. Not only do Flash and Dash bully the protagonists of their universes, but they idolize the protagonist's superhero alter ego without realizing the hero is actually the person they bully. Their names both words that describe their quick movement and rhyme with each other.

027 The ghosts of Danny Phantom's world aren't the spirits of the deceased as ghosts tend to be in pop culture. Instead, they're monsters from another dimension. We call them ghosts because it's easier to say and it's more appealing than saying monsters from another dimension.

028 Danny's hometown, Amity Park, is a tribute to the settings of a few famous horror stories. Amityville, Long Island is the location of the famous haunted house known as the Amityville Horror. But Amity Park is also named after Amity Island, the location of the book and Steven Spielberg film Jaws.

029 Danny's high school, Casper High, is named after Casper the Friendly Ghost. Hey, if we hadn't added all these paranormal references, you may have forgotten the show is about ghosts.

030 Quite a few key members from the Fairly Odd Parents had a hand in making Danny Phantom, including writer Steve Marmel and art director Bob Boyle.

031 One of the major differences working on the Fairly Odd Parents and Danny Phantom was the latter series' more serial format containing everything from character arcs to recurring story lines. Danny Phantom embraces storytelling angle by making the episodes 22 minutes long as opposed to Fairly Odd Parents whose 22 minute run time consisted of 2 eleven minute episodes.

032 One of the most challenging aspects of creating a superhero show like Danny Phantom, was giving all the superhero tropes a unique and interesting twist. We wanted to keep the series fresh an unique.

033 I originally wanted to cast a fourteen year old boy for the role of Danny, but I couldn't find anybody that sounded heroic enough. That heroic voice I searched for was ultimately provided by David Kaufman. Before playing Danny, Kaufman broke into the realm of voice acting when he played Marty McFly in Back tot he Future: The Animated Series.

034 David Kaufman kept his audition for Danny as a CD in his car that he would listen to towards the beginning of the show whenever he drove to the studio to record. He did this to remember what Danny sounded like in order to immerse himself into the character efficiently.

035 I wasn't the only one Kaufman's performance left a deep impression on. His daughter, Grace, calls him Daddy Phantom.

036 Sam Manson is played by actress Grey Griffin. I basically made an effort to include her in every show I created back then. Thus far, she's played Vicky in the Fairly Odd Parents and Kitty Katswell from T.U.F.F. Puppy.

037 Tucker isn't the first loyal friend Ricky D'Shon Collins has played. Before hunting ghosts with Danny, he helped TJ Detweiler keep balance and order on the playground as Vince LaSalle in Disney's Recess.

038 Maddie Fenton's voice actress, Kath Soucie, has essentially crafted a career out of voicing cartoon mothers. She played Dexter's mom in Dexter's Laboratory, Betty DeVille in Rugrats and Miriam Pataki in Hey Arnold.

039 Danny's father, Jack, is played by legendary voice actor Rob Paulson, who's played iconic roles like Yakko Warner, Pinky, Carl Weiser, Experiment 625, Donatello in the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Raphael in the old one, and way too many more to mention here.

040 Although Mr. Lancer is far from hardcore, his voice actor, Ron Perlman, has played quite a few characters throughout his career that redefined the word, He played Hellboy in the Guillermo del Toro films of the same name and he voices Slade Wilson, also known as Deathstroke, on Teen Titans, as well as the Lich in Adventure Time.

041 Valerie Grey was originally played by Grey DeLisle for the episode My Brother's Keeper before renowned voice actress Cree Summer was chosen to take over the role. If her name doesn't sound familiar, you've probably heard her voice as Penny on Inspector Gadget or maybe even as Susie Carmicheal on Rugrats.

042 Valerie isn't the only one that's had a change in her voice. Dani, that's Dani with an I, was voiced with two different actresses through the series. She was played by AnnaSophia Robb in her debut episode Kindred Spirits. The role was then taken over by Krista Swan in the episode D-Stabilized, which was Dani's second and final speaking appearance.

043 Tara Strong plays two of the show's recurring villains: Ember McLain and Penelope Spectra. This is definitely not the first time I've worked with her. You probably know her best as Timmy Turner in the Fairly Odd Parents, which proves she can effectively play both the hero and the villain.

044 Every celebrity guest in the show was cast as a ghost, similar to how celebrity guests would play villains on the 1960's Batman series starring Adam West and Burt Ward. Some of these celebrities include Particia Heaton from Everybody Loves Raymond as the Lunch Lady, and Matthew St. Patrick from Six Feet Under as Skulker, and Will Arnett from Arrested Development as the Ghost Writer, and Martin Mull as Vlad Plasmius.

045 These celebrity voice actors typically played their ghosts for a limited time before different voice actors took their roles. Sometimes as soon as the ghost's second appearance. Series Kath Soucie took over the role of the Lunch Lady and Kevin Michael Richardson became Skulker.

046 Tucker's dad, Maurice Foley, is voiced by Phil Lamarr who voices Hermes Conrad on Futurama and Samruai Jack on Samurai Jack.

047 Mark Hamill plays Undergrowth. He's, of course, best known for playing Luke Skywalker in Star Wars, but also as countless voice acting credits, including the Joker and Fire Lord Ozai.

048 The ghost child Youngblood was played by actor Taylor Lautner when he was just nine years old. Lautner would later be featured in everybody's favorite love story Twilight. Wait, who wrote that? Do I have to say that?

049 Danny's ultimate enemy, Dark Danny, is played by Oscar-nominated acting legend Eric Roberts. His impressive resume includes everything from the Dark Knight to the Cable Guy.

050 The first recording session for Danny Phantom took place on November 21, 2002, about a year and a half before the show premiered. The first episode to be recorded was also the first episode to air: Mystery Meat.

051 In fact, Danny Phantom premiered on April 3, 2004, right after Nickelodeon's annual Kid's Choice Awards.

052 Unlike many other animated shows, the cast of Danny Phantom recorded their dialogue in the same room together. David Kaufman described the experience as something akin to a stage play.

053 It takes the actors around 3 hours to record dialogue for a single episode. David Kaufman knows that shouting "I'm goin' ghost!" so many times made his voice hoarse by the end of the day.

054 In the episode What You Want, I voiced a football announcer that also looks a lot like me except he's, you know, a cartoon. I mean, he looks a lot more like me than Dr. Bender does. I hope.

055 The theme song we hear today wasn't the only one recorded for the show. An alternate version got so far into production that an alternate opening sequence was storyboarded all the way around it. The alternate song sounds very similar to the final product with different lyrics that focus more on explaining Danny's abilities.

056 The theme song was changed because Nickelodeon wanted it to tell Danny's origin story. This way, new views wouldn't feel alienated when watching the show for the first time no matter what episode they started out with.

057 Luckily, changing the lyrics wasn't an overly complicated, make-10-calls, logistical nightmare since I wrote the lyrics of the theme song. Both of them actually.

058 I based the show's theme song after the song The Invisible Man by Queen, one of my favorite bands.

059 One thing I learned from working on the Danny Phantom theme song is that your first idea isn't always your best idea, and to never stop pushing yourself until you've made something truly awesome. You're welcome for that halfway through burst of inspiration.

060 I also co wrote another fan favorite song Remember, performed by Ember in the episode Fanning the Flames, which also happens to be my third favorite episode. Yes, my third favorite. I am very, very specific.

061 Danny Phantom was the first show to be produced by my very own company, Billionfold Inc. which was co-founded with my wife. Billionfold comes from a biblical term, hundredfold.

062 A single episode of Danny Phantom took approximately 10 months to produce, stretching all the way from pre-production to post.

063 While the pre-production phase took place in Burbank, California, Danny Phantom's animation was done by a Korean animation studio called Rough Draft. Rough Draft's resume includes work done on other animated classics like Futurama, The Simpsons, and SpongeBob SquarePants.

064 The individual villains found within Danny Phantom's rogues gallery was based on ideas that I had. Ember McLane stemmed from a pitch regarding an episode about music fads, and the effects they have on teenagers. The Lunch Lady was generated from my very astute knowledge that students tend to hate school prepared lunched.

065 Vlad is a Green Bay Packers fanatic because Danny Phantom's story write, Steve Marmel is a cheesehead himself. We nearly got sued for this, but luckily Marmel was smart enough to make the team colors of the Danny Phantom Packers gold and green instead of green and gold.

066 One scrapped running gag Marmel wanted to incorporate was that Vlad's home would be blown up after every encounter he had with Danny, but this recurring joke was mainly lost in editing.

067 Had the series gone on, Danielle would have been taken in by the Fentons, effectively becoming the younger sister of Danny and Jazz.

068 Technus was intended to have another upgrade, Technus 3.0, in the episode Identity Crisis. The design was scrapped after we decided the upgrade didn't really fit anywhere in the episode's story.

069 The addition of Danny Phantom's logo later in the series was the suggestion of Nickelodeon executives, who thought he needed a symbol akin to heroes like Batman, Superman, and Spiderman. But perhaps more honest reason was because the execs wanted to make the hero more marketable.

070 Danny officially became 99.99% marketable in the season 2 episode, Memory Blank, in which Sam gives him his D logo.

071 The series score was composed by Guy Moon, who is also responsible for the music heard in the Fairly Odd Parents.

072 When Guy Moon and I met to discuss a soundtrack of an episode, I would usually sing over the episode in progress to give Moon an idea of how I wanted the music to sound. Moon would bring a camera to these sessions and record my, admittedly, unskilled singing to remember my instructions.

073 Not everyone can become a half ghost, half human. If Sam or Tucker had gotten caught int the middle of the Fenton's malfunctioning Ghost Portal, it would have likely killed them.

074 Wulf is fluent in Esperanto, a language created in 1887 by Dr. Ludwik Lejzer Zamenhof, perhaps better known by his pseudonym of Doktoro Esperanto. Esperanto was created in the hope of replacing every language in the world as the one universal language. Judging by the fact that this video is in English, you can probably guess how that plan worked out.

075 The episode titled Shades of Grey is obviously a play on Valerie's last name, but the title could have a much deeper meaning. The term "shades of grey" refers to an unclear position on the scale of good to evil, usually somewhere in between. This certainly applies to Valerie, as she doesn't necessarily fight ghosts for good or evil. but for her own personal reasons.

076 During Shades of Grey, Danny names the ghost dog Cujo. Cujo's also the name of a horror novel by Stephen King about a dog bitten by a rabid bat, which turns the dog into a cold-blooded killer.

077 The green glowing, double bladed melee weapon Maddie uses to slay the legion of Vlad's monsters in Maternal Instincts is practically identical to Darth Maul's double bladed lightsaber in Star Wars Episode One, save for the red color.

078 Because I know everyone loves multiple Episode One references, the the title of the second season's 9th episode The Fenton Menace is obviously a play on the title of everybody's favorite Star Wars film, the Phantom Menace. Yes. Everybody's favorite Star Wars film.

079 To continue the Star Wars nods, the Danny Phantom universe has its own line of popular toys called Space Wars featuring characters that resemble Chewbacca and R2D2.

080 Some of the computers in the Danny Phantom world have pears in the back of them which you probably guess was a nod to Apple computers. Timmy's dad in Fairly Odd Parents has the same symbol on his laptop.

081 Save for the creepy pictures of Maddie, the programs and icons on both Danny and Vlad's computers are exactly the same, in the exact same order.

082 Skulker's hunt for Valerie and Danny in Life Lessons closely resembles the plot of Richard Connell's famous short story "The Most Dangerous Game". Much like the story, Skulker kidnaps two very skilled humans on his property for the sole purpose of hunting what he considers to be the most challenging prey out there, or, the most dangerous game.

083 Mr. Lancer spouts the titles of books in place of shouting swear words. Some of these exclamations include The Great Gatsby, Chicken Soup for the Soul, and Moby Dick, which is about as close as we'll be getting to colorful language on a Nicktoon, except for maybe Ren and Stimpy, or Rocko, or SpongeBob. We're slick here at Nickelodeon.

084 In the episode What You Want, Paulina transforms into a popular anime cat names Sayonara Pussycat, who resembles the character Hello Kitty. But Sayonara is actually a rather dramatic and final sounding word for "goodbye" in Japanese.

085 In Teacher of the Year, all 13 levels that Tucker shows Technus are based on the eight worlds from the 1990 NES classic Super Marion Bros. 3. The level 0 glitch is a reference to the infamous Minus world from the original Super Mario Bros.

086 Before sending Danny into the Ghost Zone in the episode Prisoners of Love, Tucker can be seen playing Space Invaders on his PDA.

087 Valerie Grey lives on 461 Elm Street, an obvious reference to the classic horror film A Nightmare on Elm Street. She'd probably stand more of a chance against Freddy Krueger than the other kids in the Street as well.

088 Johnny 13 and Kitty's voice actors, William Baldwin and China Phillips, are a married couple in real life. The knot has been securely tied since 1995. Way before they were cast.

089 In Fanning the Flames, Danny quips "Do you take requests? How about Beat It." in addition to telling Ember to hit the road, Danny's referencing Michael Jackson's classic song Beat It. Good one, Danny. And good one, me.

090 Michael Jackson makes a more obvious cameo in the episode Infinite Realms where he's seen in at his 2005 trial while Vlad is flipping through channels.

091 When we see Tucker's report card in What You Want, we learn that Tucker is not only highly proficient in computers, but sewing as well. If Danny ever needs a suit redesign, he who he can call. Not the Ghostbusters, they'll likely kill him. He should call Tucker.

092 The Groovy Gang and Scaredy Cat from The Million Dollar Ghost are an unsubtle jab at Mystery Inc and Scooby-Doo. An additional fact fact for you guys, I actually worked for Hanna-Barbera, the animation studio that created Scooby-Doo.

093 The secret government organization dedicated to eliminating paranormal entities known as the Guys in White are obviously a parallel to the Men in Black who essentially do the same thing but with evil extraterrestrials.

094 I've gone on record saying the reason Danny is not shirtless when he's at the water park is because he gets sunburned very easily.

095 We can all infer that Sam has good taste in films. For instance, a poster for Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange can be seen in her room.

096 In Memory Blank, Sam wants to see Trinity of Doom, a movie starring Femalien, the female version of Alien that’s a Predator, not a Xenomorph, you uncultured swine!, Terminatra, the female Terminator, and Nightmerica, the female version of Freddy Krueger. I'd still go see that.

097 Danny has a birthmark that's shaped like the state of Florida.

098 Timmy Turner's favorite comic book hero, The Crimson Chin, appears at the Ember concert as one of her many adoring fans in the episode Fanning the Flames. I officially sanction your conspiratorial speculations.

099 In the episode What You Want, Danny and Tucker can be seen playing an arcade machine titles Crash Nebula. Crash Nebula is one of Timmy Turner's favorite heroes of the Fairly Odd Parents. The plot thickens!

100 The cross referencing continued over into the Fairly Odd Parents, too. In Poulter Geeks, a wanted poster for Danny Phantom can be seen in the ghost hunting basement of Timmy's parents.

101 Or you guys could be thinking about this all wrong, and Danny could just be a fictional hero. In the Fairly Odd Parents Crash Nebula special, Danny can be seen on the back cover of a comic book. The truth is out there.

102 If Vlad were real, Steve Marmel would have made him the happiest half man/half ghost on the planet. The writer purchased a brick at Lambeau Field, the home of the Packers, and engraved it with "Someday I will rule - Vlad Plasmius".

103 David Kaufman's favorite episodes tend to be the ones in which Danny spends time with one particular member of his family and the plot strengthens their bond and understanding of each other. He cites the episodes Maternal Instinct and My Brother's Keeper as prime examples.

104 Like every great superhero, Danny Phantom has transcended into the realm of video games. His first outing was a Game Boy Advance adaptation of The Ultimate Enemy, a 2D side-scrolling beat-em-up ordeal.

105 The second was called Danny Phantom: Urban Jungle, which was released for both Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS and it was a side-scrolling shooter.

106 There was once a Danny Phantom themed ride at the indoor Nickelodeon Universe theme park at the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota. Danny Phantom: Ghost Zone's design was that of an Ali Baba. In other words, it consisted of a stationary horizontal gondola with a 360 degree swinging pendulum. Unfortunately, the rise was taken down in 2015.

107 Danny Phantom ran for three season, from 2004 to 2007. A total of 53 episodes were created for the series. The news of Danny Phantom's cancellation was not well received by the fans at all. The Danny fandom took to the streets of New York City and protested outside of Nickelodeon's building to bring the ghost boy back into production. Unfortunately, to no avail. But thank you. Seriously, thank you.
