Every time I watch the show, I hate Jhonen Vasquez even more for deciding not to continue with it, since it's freaking genius.

Don't balme him; blame Nickelodeon for canceling it before having a power-packed finale.

(Starts singing the Doom Song) Matter of fact is, Jhonen himself despised the show because, frankly, it was too, dare I say, "kiddy" for him. Zim looks like Barney compared to the comic books Jhonen writes (or used to write; I think he quit for a while because he finds Zim embarassing). Thus, he decided to quit the show completely. Terrible shame. Next thing you know, BAM!, syndicated and DVD'd.

I used to watch this show all the time. I never get a chance to watch it anymore because of Nickelodeon cancelling it. I would always get a good laugh out of it. I sometimes watch it at my aunt's house because she has satellite. Still, it shouldn't have been cancelled.

I watch this often on Nick. In Australia at least, it comes on at 11:15pm. I got into it late last year, and I have to say, I think it's really great. There are bits that still make me laugh when I think of them. ;D

I'm not a fan on Invader Zim, but I thoght it was funny when that pig, uh, thingy ate someone. I also like it when Zim's Earth house turned into a four legged mechanichal thing and rampaged through the town. I liked the part when the house crushed someone's car and the guy in the nearby phone booth screamed only a few seconds after he saw his car was crushed!

I didn't get started on this show until long after it went off the air (except on Nicktoons, which unfortunately is a channel I never had access to) - but after watching a few episodes, I was hooked! I've fallen in love with GIR, and the exchanges between Gaz and Dib always make me chuckle (they almost remind me of my own brother and sister in a way).
My ex-boyfriend had one of Jhonen Vasquez' comic books; it really was quite different from the show (much darker humour). I was actually familiar with Johnny The Homicidal Maniac before Invader Zim, but somehow I never made the connection until Isaiah pointed it out. I did get a laugh, though, when I flipped back through the pages of the comic book and saw the resemblance.
All in all, great show - I love it!

I love this show. It's a shame Nick cancelled it one day before Minimoose's debut episode!

Am I the only person who doesn't like this show? As i don't have satellite TV, and after some US friends of mine kept saying how great it was, I bought one of the DVDs from eBay. I watched it and had no desire to watch it again, I found it way too annoying, although I did like GIR.

I liked Invader ZIM,I have all of what Nick aired out of it on DVD.
But man,what was Nick thinking when they cancelled it?
Look at what has become of Nick now,I think they would regret breaking their contract with Jhonen Vasquez(Sp)

Invader ZIM was one of the best shows Nickelodeon had. One of my favorite bits was...
Zim (about Gir): What does the 'G' stand for? Gir: I don't know!

Invader ZIM was a classic! I of course can't watch because of it being cancelled, it was good to watch, we laughed, we cried, and the kablam! It was cancelled! Such a shame. Gir: I have sandwitch in my head!

I like Invader Zim. You could never get bored of Gir's antics . But I think Nick cancelled this show because, well just about a decade earlier they cancelled Ren and Stimpy. Another cartoon which was created by a guy who never could live up to Nick's standards. I guess seeing as the show was just as crude (at least to Nick it was) they didn't want another creator problem.

Invader Zim is one of the golden oldies, along with Ren and Stimpy and Rocko (in my opinion.)
Shame they got cancelled, at least they're on occasionally on Nicktoons Network (digital cable)

Zim is my favorite show indefinately! Nick clearly has no brain to even handle a good show nowadays like they used to! Zim was clearly the last of the good shows Nick brought, other than Pelswick or Drake & Josh..... They cancelled it too early, leaving us to question who the hell Minimoose was and giving Tak (who was an awesome character) only one episode (other than her voice being heard in two others) and not to mention leaving several episodes either unfinished or unaired! Every time I watch the show, I hate Jhonen Vasquez even more for deciding not to continue with it, since it's freaking genius. I can agree with you there, I just think Jhonen is being a total hard ass about it being cancelled. But really for any work hes made, he shows clear and total disrespect for each and every one of his fans pretty much! zerna.deviantart.com/journal/26660152/ < That there is probably the best example! While I admire his art, sometimes hearing the disrespect he gives us, I just have the urge to kick him in the nads! Even though I would probably be pissed that my own creation was cancelled and I was told to get lost, and not make a penny out of its popularity...... Its a main reason I believe Nickelodeon are Nazi's!
