"Invader Zim" Master Of The Nicktoon Universe

Invader Zim was a TV show created by jhonen Vasquez and aired on Nickelodeon. The show has interesting animation, quirky humor, and a dark, cynical style which combined to give it a growing, devoted cult following, particularly among young adult viewers older than the normal Nickelodeon viewer base. Disappointed that its low ratings did not justify high production costs, Nickelodeon initially cancelled the show. Production was reinstated after intense pressure from fans, and then cancelled, resumed and cancelled once more. In all, one and a half seasons of Invader Zim were made (the second being incomplete). It was first broadcast in March 2001. Invader Zim seasons 1 and 2 are now on DVD. I have to admit that story wise there is not much going on, the first episode sets up the rest of the show, but I think it is worth watching just for all the one liners that you'll end up quoting all day long. "GIR" his sidekick assumes almost all the weird one liners you could want, usally uttering something that you have to do a double take to make sure you heard him right, random and weird. Pictured here I think he is really the star of the show. "Gir " is assuming the identity of a dog so hew can fit in with the humans, convincing no? Will Zim destroy the universe? Will his arch nemis Dib stop him ? Well you have to check it out. this show is worth a watch as I find it not the best but memorable.
