PlatinumRead Just so...so bad

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

Curt Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

C.A. Morvant I might be a little bias since I am a super fan of this show, but it's just so great. The entire entire premise, the characters, and comedy mixed in with alittle action here and there. It just makes for a good series. Jhonen Vasquez has that dark side of humor that he added into this that made it super funny, and that's what I think the IZ fanbase lacks when making fanfics of this series, his random, darkish, and snarky sense of humor just makes it one-of-kind. I can't wait for the TV movie and I'm expected to be entertained just as much as I was with the original series.

hollylew This show is basically about a little alien banished from his home planet, Irk, because he almost destroyed it in Mission Impending Doom. So, he gets banished to planet Foodcourtia to spend his days as a fry cook, but "quits being banished" when he hears that the Almighty Tallest (the leaders of Irk) are assigning Irken soldiers to observe various planets. Zim begs them, and they assign him to a mysterious planet called Earth. There, Zim tries to fit in with all the other humans at Skool (literally, that's how they spell it.) He has a robot dog named Gir, which is an idiot, but he fits in well with the plot.Anyways, no one suspects that Zim is an alien, except for a large-headed kid named Dib. Dib is the lunatic in the show, as his classmates make him seem, but in reality, he's the only sane one. He sees through Zim's terrible disguise, and starts to follow him around everywhere (he's a paranormal investigator). Dib has a scary sister named Gaz that is really into video games, rubber pigs, and pizza. She tries to not care too much about anything else.Now for the review!Well, I watched this show when I was younger, back in 2003-2006. (I was 6 years old when I last saw this on TV.) Anyways, I always thought something was strange about this show. I didn't know if it was the red skies, or how creepy Ms. Bitters was, or the harvesting of organs in one of the episodes, but this show just seemed very odd.I watched it again (now I'm 15, almost 16) and in my opinion, I find it kinda enjoyable to watch. There's a bunch of dark humor mixed in with violence and stupidness. It's a show that's hard to resist, despite your age. Zim overreacts to most situations, which is hilarious, knowing that he's on a completely different planet, and doesn't know what to expect.So, as I was saying, "dark humor." Some of the episodes could get pretty disturbing, such as "Dark Harvest," or "Bad, Bad Rubber Piggy." People either die or suffer. Yet, this show was on Nickelodeon. Teehee.IZ has incredible voice actors such as Richard Horvitz (Zim), who could make Zim seem adorable to evil in a split second. Zim's evil laugh is amazing too.Overall, I enjoyed this show when I was younger, and I still enjoy it today. I have no idea how I remembered this show from when I was 5 years old, but whatever! I love it! I'd recommend it to anyone who doesn't mind a little dark humor.

patricklewisjr-455-563574 This show is about a alien name Zim who was sent to rule the earth and has a sidekick named GIR who is a robot. As they live in earth they disguise there selves Zim as a human and Gir as a dog. And Dib is Zims enemy, Dib try's to prove everyone that Zim is a alien but people thinks he's crazy, His sister Gaz is Dibs emo sister who hates everyone (She's just like Mandy from The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy)She likes to eat pizza and play videogames you would never want to mess with Gaz.This show was great 1. The plot was funny 2. The characters were weird in a funny way 3. Everybody's (including me)favorite character is GIR, I like GIR he's hilarious (TACO'S)This cartoon was better than SpongeBob.I give this show a 10/10

FairlyAnonymous Invader Zim is one of those shows that everyone wants back, and everyone loved, but it will probably never come back. It had a pretty short run, only 27 episodes I believe. The show had an interesting mix of sci-fi and dark humour. This is probably the main reason it was cut was because the person who made this show also made a comic about a homicidal maniac who kills people to keep monsters away from him... yeah.Invader Zim is a very wacky cartoon, and a lot happens in it and a lot of randomness happens as well. That is what is funny about the show, just about anything can happen and will happen. Sometimes I can admit that the show can get pretty dark, such as people getting their eyes ripped out, lots of death, torture, and other forms of violence. The animation style is unique and stylish. There is a bit of CGI in the show, and it is actually used very well.Apparently the show was cut because of budget problems... right. That might be part of the reason, but the main reason was obviously because it was too dark. The show obviously did have a fairly big budget seeing as how awesome the animation was, and the voice actors are good.If Invader Zim ever does come back, it better come back with the same people who originally made it. A fairly large amount of episodes were made or almost finished but never aired. Since these episodes are missing, there are a few plot holes like who is mini-moose but other than that there aren't any problems. Hopefully those episodes will be released in time.
