I don't know what to make of Timmy, either.  Are the creators of the show
poking fun of disabled people? I don't think so... iTimmy is never referred
to as being any less intelligent than the other characters..although he only
says his name...I believe it's the only thing that he needs to say...thats
who he is...
i dont take offense to much though
There was one episode where Timmy had to pick out a turkey for the school's
thanksgiving play.  Timmy picked out the smallest and the weakest of them
all... one of my disabled friends took offense t this...I however, I did not.
 I think it just showed that Timmy had a bigger heart.  And he wanted the
turkey despite its physical apperance and abilities...
