[QUOTE="Hand of Vecna, post: 7496, member: 755"] I'm not sure if there are many [i]Invader Zim[/i] fans here, but I've heard that Nickelodeon recently (Jan 17, 2002) cancelled it. I am greatly saddened by this :( For those of you who've never heard of Zim, [i]Invader Zim[/i] is, simply put, THE greatest thing currently on Nickelodeon, and perhaps THE BEST thing to EVER come on Nick. It's a cartoon by Jhonen Vasquez (the same guy who did the comic "Johnny the Homicidal Manianc"), and follows the exploits of Zim, an alien (Irkan) invader sent by The Almighty Tallest (the leaders of the Irkans; social status in Irkan society is based on height) to conquer Earth for them. However, Zim is faily incompetent, and The Almighty Talest know this. Zim is assisted by GIR, a cute, loveable, dumb-as-a-sack-of-hammers robot. Zim, disguised as a human child, attends Skool (yes, that is how it's spelled on the building) in an attempt to 'blend in' and infiltrate the humans. None of the other kids or teachers seem to notice Zim is an alien (despite his green skin), except for Dib, the son of Professor Membrane. Dib is something of a paranormal expert, and has taken it upon himself to stop Zim's invasion. Zim's sister, Gaz, is a video game junkie, and is easily annoyed by everything, but loves eating at Bloaty's Pizza Hog.
