    yeah, forgot where I read it exactly but apparently he was pretty ticked with the way nick treated him.

    Who can blame him? Then again I don't really think his show was right for Nick. That show freaked me out when I was little.

    Zim was brilliant. It basically showed the human race for what it is, ignorant slobs. It's not too unbelieveable that a green alien will go unnoticed in a school environment, and that if someone found out they would be shut down.

    I was amazed when they aired dark harvest. the whole time I'm thinking "wtf, this is on nick?" coincidentally, it's my favorite episode.

    (refresher: the episode where zim ran around pulling out everyone's organs.)

    lol, yeah I remember that one. I also remember the one where that kid wanted to be Zim's friend, but Zim didn't actually want a friend. So he ripped the kid's eyes out and replaced them with something that would control his mind. Ewww. That was a bit dark for Nick. Yes Zim freaked me out when it was shown on Nick, but now I love it. It's so darkly hilarious!

    Oh yeah, definitely. Invader ZIM is pretty freaking hilarious. Sometimes it gets a little out of control, like "Dark Harvest," which was one episode that I always felt was a bit sick, but the rest of them are pretty funny.

    I definitely would. It's awesome. There are some disturbing things in it... like it's portrayal of humanity, but overall it's a very funny and original show. It's by the guy who wrote all those "Johnny the Homicidal Maniac" books, if that gives you an idea as to what you're getting into.

    Nickelodeon is the worst TV station of the whole frickin world. They suck so much @ss!

    They show no respect to Avatar and won't even show it on Nick anymore.

    They didn't even finish Danny Phantom.

    They even mess up there cash cow SpongeBob.

    They did finish it, but after that they never aired DP before 8:00 A.M. again.

    Danny only had 52 eps. Kinda like finishing Avatar after Western Air Temple.

    I'm worried they are going to air the last episdoes of Avatar like they did for Danny Phantom.

    Just air it all in one week and be done with it.

    no show deserves that.

    It's likely that's the route they'll take with it, seeing as it's airing shortly before the last DVD comes out.

    yeah, only on weekends. imo, avatar, zim and danny shouldnt have been cancelled, but moved to a different time slot to where a more adult audience (whom they are geared to) can watch it. that way you can get away from possibly scarring and/or offending kids/parents. i think thats wahy they do that to these shows. do you not see a pattern here? avatar, danny, zim, and even ginger and all grown up to some regards all center around more mature things than say spongebob or FOP. whether it be an epic war plot line (avatar), dark comedy (zim), a teen age superhero story (danny), or your average middle school/high school life (ginger and AGU), they all deal with more important themes than the life of a sponge or a male cow with utters.

    word of advice, nick. dont cancel good shows because theyre too mature, move them to teen nick. teenagers watch cartoons too.
