Danny Phantom is an American animated paranormal superhero comedy television series created by Butch Hartman for Nickelodeon. It premiered on April 3, 2004, immediately after the 2004 Kids' Choice Awards, and concluded on August 24, 2007, totaling 53 episodes across three seasons. The first two seasons each totaled 20 episodes and the final season totaled 13 episodes.

Set in the fictional town of Amity Park, the series centers on a 14-year old boy named Danny Fenton, who becomes a human-ghost hybrid after an accident with an unpredictable portal between the human world and the "Ghost Zone". Bearing the nickname "Danny Phantom" in ghost form, he then takes on the task of saving his town and the world from subsequent ghost attacks, using an evolving variety of supernatural powers. He is aided by his two best friends, Sam Manson and Tucker Foley, and later by his older sister Jazz, who for most of the series' run are among the only people who know of his double life.

Danny Phantom received five Annie Award nominations during its original run and has since amassed a cult following. Additionally, it has spawned video games, home video releases, toys, and various other merchandise. A campaign to revive the series called the Go Ghost Again Movement has spawned in recent years, including a petition on Change.org that has received thousands of signatures.
