Is Invader Zim cancelled?

[spamspam2]

I've read both things on the news boards. Is this show cancelled or not? I just discovered this series 2 weeks ago and need more. MORE!!

[Invader Dag]

yesh it is, sorry, enjoy it while it lasts

[Andy Mancini]

If you want more Zim-like material, I suggest Jhonen Vasquez's comic book "Squee". Dib and Zim are definately reworked versions of the comic's two main characters, Todd (Squee) and Pepito the Antichrist. By the way, the alien that abduct Zim in "Abducted" are the aliens the that contantly try to abdsuct Squee in the comic.

Yes, despite what Hot Topic employees will tell you.

So let me get this straight. The one show I like on Nickelodeon is getting cancelled. I'm glad that Cartoon Network is beating them.

They aren't. But CN is catching up.

Uhm, it got cancelled before the second season episodes even started airing. Nick seriously cheezed off Vasquez when they went back and edited the episodes featuring the Swollen Eyeball Network and the FBI Warnings on tapes after part of his contract said there would be no censoring done to the series whatsoever. The agreement was that Nick would go ahead and air all of the episodes that had been finished, but there would be no new ones made, and the series was canned.

Good ol' Nick. Canceling the few shows on the Network with any real promise in favor of some more rugrats clones. Brilliant plan Nick.

yep, sadly, Zim has been cancelled from what i've heard, Nick cancelled it due to low ratings

Nick USA doesnt know how to treat Zim IMO.. Nick UK & AUS both aired FBI Warning & Door to Door way before Nick USA aired them (plus many more Nicktoons have had new episodes aired on Nick UK way before Nick USA aired them, including Spongebob & Rocket Power)

From what I heard, it was WAY too expensve per episode and when the rating came in, the Nick people thought it was too low. They should have given it time.

It was cancelled for a number of reasons. It cost a ton, with all the special effects and cel-shading used. It was getting low ratings. After 9/11, they were getting a lot of heat from sensitive viewers. In the end, ZIM was just too much hassle. Yeah, NICK knew the show would make a lot of money in time, but at the time, it was just a white elephant for them, and sweeps month was nearing.

Of course they cancelled Zim. It's a law that all good shows are to be cancelled. Like Freakazoid!,Clerks,MissionHill,FamilyGuy, the Oblongs,Downtown,and Undergrads,just to name a few.....It's the way of the universe.

Hmm, weird, I was glad all of those were canceled.

Zim was getting low ratings so it was canned.

But see that is working for them. That is what the kiddies like. Television is all about the ratings. Ratings = ads = $$$ for Viacom.

It wasn't canned because of ratings. Vasquez walked when Nickelodeon messed with a clause in his contract.

true, but mission hill is on cartoon network's adult swim, & the oblongs will make their way there soon too, i hope.

[DemonKrowno]

Yes and Freakazoid! still airs on CN around 5:00am....but it's still cancelled. Means no more new episodes. There's a rumor TNN may buy ZiM to show in their 2003/2004 adult cartoon block thing they're going to have...but they can't make new episodes. Eez saaaaad.

That is sad yet true. Greedy Bastards.

[Sandro]

Yeah, it's a sad thing. The one show that could pull Nickelodeon from the hole they dug themselves into and they cancel it. Morons! Okay, here's a question: If ZIM were to be bought by another network and new episodes were ordered, would Vasquez come back to make new ones?
