"Mind Over Magic"Gary ConradJack ThomasHeather Martinez & Shawn MurrayFOP−187

Vicky chooses to cheat her way into winning the Miss Dimmsdale pageant, and Timmy is going to stop her with the help of Catman. They decide to become judges to make up a law against Vicky winning. At the end, Timmy's Dad wins the pageant, disguising as a woman.

Guest star: Adam West as Catman and himself
Timmy, tired of Mr. Crocker's constant pop quizzes (in which he asks a question that no one can answer, or does not give enough time for people to answer), which everyone fails, wishes that he had mind reading powers. He uses this to pass Crocker's pop quizzes and mess with his friends' heads. Unfortunately, Crocker figures his wish out, and uses an anti-mind reading helmet (which causes someone trying to read the mind of the wearer to read their own mind instead) as part of a new plot to capture his fairies.

Timmy has to complete a book report during summer vacation, but now that summer is gone and the first day of Dimmsdale Elementary School is nearing, Timmy wishes that Tom Sawyer would come out of his book and help him write his book report. Being the lazy swindling type, Tom tricks Timmy into stealing Cosmo's wand and goes into a few well known books and edits them, forcing Timmy, Cosmo and Wanda to follow him. They now must end Tom's antics before he rewrites the laws of physics.

While Cosmo and Wanda have to go to the doctor, Wanda grants Timmy a magic copier machine, with the ability to grant him whatever he wants. Problems arise when Timmy makes an action figure of Dark Laser (Parody of Darth Vader from Star Wars) and presses the life-size button (because he disliked the normal size), which causes Dark Laser to become real.
While the Turners are on their way to Canada, a look-alike duo of bandits called the Turnbaums switch places with Timmy's parents in order to avoid getting punished, and Timmy is simply unable to wish his parents free, because even if magic is used, it could take years to get them out of jail under the US Legal System. It is up to Timmy to get the bandits captured and his parents freed.

A sequel to "The Crimson Chin Meets Mighty Mom & Dyno Dad!", Timmy is tired of the normal everyday routine, and how he never gets any rescuing from his enemies. After a very bad day, he wishes that the world was like a comic book. As a result, everybody has a superpower, thus turning the good and Timmy into superheroes and the bad including his nemesises into supervillains. These supervillains, including Bull-E (Francis), The Baby Shredder (Vicky), and Dr. Crocktopus (Mr. Crocker), are then recruited by the Nega-Chin (who was unleashed with the wish) in an attempt to wreak havoc. Timmy then tries to unwish his wish, only to find that his wish has been apparently manipulated by the villains (who sense some kind of magic in his "Superhounds," Cosmo and Wanda in reality), so although they can keep their powers, the superheroes cannot. They then take these "Superhounds" away, leaving Timmy and his friends, including the Crimson Chin, to plan what to do next. They end up infiltrating the evil lair with the help of some "everyday heroes", including a firefighter, a janitor, and a milkman who did not help him before when he needed help in everyday situations. He learns a lesson about how people do not have to have powers to be heroes.

Guest stars: Jay Leno as The Crimson Chin and Nega-Chin and Patton Oswalt as the Crimson Chin Writer.

However, when his new Power Pals begin to take advantage of and mistreat him in the same way, Timmy has realized his mistake, especially when they mistake his old friends for supervillains and plan to kill them.
Timmy wishes he had no emotions after being embarrassed by Francis forcing him to jump in a swimming pool and come out completely naked. He then must take a series of supposedly embarrassing risks.
