an animated tv show created by jhonen vasquez in 2001. the show aired on nickelodeon for about a year, and was then cancelled. due to the show's popularity with the older nick-viewing audience, thousands of people petitioned online to have the show remain on the air, but their efforts failed. they then took matters into their own hands, recording all 38 episodes of the show, putting them in AVI and MPEG video formats, and uploading them to the internet for anyone to get their hands on. the show continued to air for about another year, and was eventually taken off.
the show is about an alien from the planet irk named zim. at the beginning of the series, irk had begun "operation impending doom II", a mission to conquer every planet in the universe. zim was an irken who wished to participate, and was reluctantly allowed to do so by the almighty tallest, the leaders of irk. zim has a robotic servant named GIR, and zim's archnemesis is dib, a boy who knows the identity of zim but is ridiculed by his peers.

Is an awesome show. Nick deserves to have a pile driver shoved up their ass for cancelling it!

A highly amusing show, with fun and great animation. People are, excuse me, on crack if they think Invader Zim is "too dark".

And for the record, Jhonen chose to quit for his own reasons, and we should all respect that. He doesn't deserve to be bitched at because he is a very nice man.

Also, people who bitch Invader Zim and their fans, I have a few words for you: Pack of Low Lives...

I don't care how many people thumb this down.

1.The best TV show ever. Cancelled by Nickelodeon.
2. A very small Irken invader, sent to Earth to wreak dooooom down upon the filthy heads of his doomed enemies.

The best cartoon yet to be made that may lead to an advacement in cartoon technology, despite it's being cancelled.

1) An animated sci-fi television series produced by Nickelodeon. The show is unarguably one of Nick's best shows.

2) The main character of the television series of the same name, a little green dude from the planet Irk attempting to take over our stupid planet with the help of his little robot friend, GIR.

The most coolest animated series that "was on Nickelodeon" but was canceled due to Nickelodeon dislike for creator (Jhonen Vasquez)'s plans of how the episodes should be, Nick executives edited some of the episodes, every fan of the series should hate Nickelodeon now! Anyway, still it's the greatest CGI/unique irregular animated series in the known universe

A television show that was on Nickelodeon for a breif period. Created by cult comic book writer; Jhonen Vasquez, the show revolved around an alien from the planet Irk bent on world domination named Zim, and his adventures in conquering all of humanity, while a young human named Dib tries to stop him. It was cancelled for doing poorly in Nickelodeon's target audience, as it was more popular with older veiwers.

An often random children's show created by Jhonen Vasquez, the force behind such great comics as Jhonny the Homocidal Maniac and Squee. It centered around a green alien named Zim who was sent out on a phony mission by his leaders The Tallest to conquer Earth along with a reject robot named GiR. The series lasted only 38 episodes despite the large fanbase and hillarity of the show. Several rumors have been circulating about the show's cancelation, such as an older target audience and a lawsuit by parents after their children read Johnny the Homocidal Maniac, a book Jhonen did not intend for younger audiences.
