Rounding out the lead cast is Danny's 16 year old overachieving and overprotective sister, Jasmine (usually referred to as Jazz.) While their relationship is typical brother and sister, they develop over time as Jazz stumbles on Danny's secret and decides to help him. His other best friend is Tucker Foley, a self proclaimed technology geek obsessed with getting a girlfriend. Samantha "Sam" Manson, a gothic girl who comes from a family of wealth (which she chooses to keep a secret), and who also has a crush on him. When Danny isn't fighting other ghosts, he attends Casper high (lets be a bit more obvious here eh?) in the city of Amity (as in Amityville Horror) along with his two best friends, the only ones who actually know his secret. With this, he's able to "Go Ghost", transforming from his normal form as a teenaged boy into a ghost to fight other ghosts who escaped from the portal. Once inside, Danny accidentally presses the "On" button, something his naïve parents failed to do, which activates the portal, and infuses his DNA with ectoplasm, transforming him into half-ghost. At first sight the portal doesn't appear to work, until one night when Danny decides to mess with the portal himself. His dad longs to prove the existence of ghosts, and to do so builds a portal in the family basement, that is supposed to link the human and Ghost realms. Danny lives with his parents, Jack and Maddie Fenton, who are true believers in the paranormal and are eccentric ghost hunters. Unfortunately, the series was cancelled for some bizarre reason after only three seasons.ĭanny Phantom revolves around the life of a 14 year old high school student named Danny Fenton. It's ratings were strong and the series was popular with the audience. Danny Phantom's creator Butch Hartman, who also made Fairly Odd Parents, tries his hand at something a little more serious with this series, it has a bit more of a darker tone and a supernatural feel than his other aforementioned series and it was a huge hit. Another series from the era that I missed is called Danny Phantom. By the time nowadays popular cartoons like SpongeBob and Fairly Odd Parents came around, I had already all but grown out of cartoons.
