Invader Zim Is Cancelled.

**Killtacular** · 01-17-2002, 10:21 PM

..I think I've lost my faith in animation.

Crappy animated films, crappy television shows, an Adult Swim block that has mocked themselves with their crappiest mistake ever(Adult Swim Action, which is more like Teen Swim Sometimes-Action)...

And now this.

Wally(voice actor of The Almighty Tallest Red), and Richard Horvitz(voice actor of Invader Zim) have declared that Nickelodeon has pulled the plug on Invader Zim, and is scrapping all episodes currently in production.

Why? They didn't say why, but I know why.

W. G. A.

The Writer's Guild Association. Look it up.

They came to Nickelodeon to try and get residuals for the Nicktoon writers. Unfortunately, Nickelodeon CHEATS THE SYSTEM, ILLEGALLY, and will -never- give the writers residuals.

The problem is that the WGA didn't give up. And they should've.

Because of the WGA, The Proud Family is on The Disney Channel(originally a Nicktoon), Constant Payne is canned, Invader Zim is canned, and writers are out of their jobs.

I'm sure residuals were important, but man! I'm sure the writers would be happier with a STEADY PAYCHECK! SHEESH!

NO, it's bad enough it's not on Nick that much. But, this is horrible!

**JustJack** · 01-17-2002, 10:48 PM

Hey, can anyone help me tighten this noose around my neck?

**Alaskanbullworm** · 01-17-2002, 10:50 PM

I GIVE UP ON NICK. Now with Spongebob gone and Invader Zim gone, there isn't anything left. I HATE NICK. We have to get something across to Nick that the real fans are more important than the little kids.

**batboy2001** · 01-17-2002, 10:52 PM

Yeah, the only decent shows on nich are canned.

**Chibi Kageboshi** · 01-17-2002, 11:01 PM

we should write the creator and see if he can make it a cartoon cartoon.. zim would fit in so perfect there. *sigh today sucks...... im now watching dvd animation from now on..... damn companys and their bs

**Evil Dr. Reef** · 01-17-2002, 11:10 PM

DAMN IT!!!
Nickelodeon! What's wrong with you?
Do you really hate your fans that much? I mean, what the Hell?
Do all Nick executives cancel the good shows to make room for the crap or what?
After Rocko's Modern Life ended, I stopped watching Nick until about 2 months ago when I saw an episode of Invader Zim.
It looks like I'll be doing the same thing again.

Yeah, but Nick is still the guilty party here. I think that should be kept in mind.

So that leaves the only decent animated series being produced in the US as Justice League and Samauri Jack? Bleak days indeed.

A very good idea. Unfortunately I believe Nick owns the rights to all things Zim, as is with anything the have produced for them (Constant Payne is an exception because the series was never produced and thus the right reverted back to the creator).

And Matt, there’s still hope for Constant Payne, the creator said on his Website that since the rights to the series reverted back to him he plans to sell it to one of Nick’s competitors. Vive la Payne!

At least I no longer have anything to keep me watching Nick. THANK YOU VERY MUCH NICK!!!

Now if you'll excuse me I feel the need to go out and kill something.

A little update: they will show the rest of season one and only 6 episdoes of season 2. That's only 26 episodes. 14 episodes were canned from season 2.
I HATE NICK

If anyone feels like sending angry hate-mail, go here, and speak your thoughts. Make sure Nick knows a lot of people will be unhappy with them for a long time.

**kiddiesunshine** · 01-18-2002, 12:08 AM

the channel's been pointless to have for a few years now. sometimes, i forget i have it. nick, you suck. go away. make room for a good channel....like spice or the hot network.

austin norsworthy · 01-18-2002, 12:35 AM

and suddnly I came upon this. I stopped recording invader zim because I kept seeing reruns and it was only on friday but this... {now for MY outburst of anger} NICK GO TO HELL!!!!!!

I sent them a letter of hate titled: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO{DEEP BREATH}OOOOOOOOOOOOO. keep in mind that wasn't exact number of o's.

I told them they were no better than WB and and that they were going to have a MAJOR drop in ratings. {HA!} I also told them to come here and look this up.

hope they get my letter and do it.

p.s. that was pretty funny, justjack. you were kidding right? right? and grey ghost if you need to kill something kil time, because there aren't any bugs left. {just a suggjestion i'm not the boss of you.

} and yeah REAL FANS DO matter more than little kids. we have been TRYING to get that message to these companys for DECADES!

*Brings out some clubs to beat some sense into Nick*

It I may steal a line from Chief Wiggum, "Now lets crack some skulls".

Jeez, even if I could do that, I don't think it would work. I HATE NICK!!!!!

**Bird Boy** · 01-18-2002, 09:36 AM

I hate nick Too..hey...cheer up guys...maybe some network will pick Zim up (maybe MTV or somthing..they're airing Sponge Bob..I think it's MTV anyway..lol).

**Supernovametalstar** · 01-18-2002, 09:55 AM

Once again network executives prove just how stupid they are. There's really nothing more to say.

**Karkull** · 01-18-2002, 10:24 AM

Jhonen Vasquez deserved better than this. He's very talented and Invader Zim was incredible. Do any of you think that he could wrangle the comic book rights away from NICK (if he doesn't have them already)? An Invader Zim comic book would be the least that NICK could allow Jhonen could do.

**Kathy Kane** · 01-18-2002, 10:45 AM

Oh My God! They Cancelled Invander Zim! You [expletive deleted]!

**Kero** · 01-18-2002, 11:12 AM

Yeah I'm sticking to Cartooncartoons and Anime from now on.

Why cancel their most popular show.

Oh my, was I suprised when I found this! My rage towards Nickelodeon is incomprehensible. This is, in my opinion, truly the single worst thing that Nick has ever done to a show, EVER. I am glad that they apparently will be airing the remaining episodes that have been created, but this is just sad.
