Poll: Invader Zim.

[geldonyetich]

I voted Yes, but I doubt we'd see it. It's sort of a niche of being too adult for the kid channels but too kid for the adult channels. It is, at least, excellent DVD fodder.

Looking it up on Amazon just now, you can actually view it online for $2 an episode.
Also apparently free on Hulu [http://www.hulu.com/videos/search?query=invader+zim]. Legitimately, I think.

Greatest animation ever to come out of Nickelodeon, but I don't want them to make more episodes. Any more will seem half-arsed.

I couldn't agree with you more, it's like trying to bring back Arrested Development, they had their time, and it's been so long since then that it just wouldn't be the same.

I think they're still doing new episodes on Nicktoons Network (not Nickelodean, an off-shoot of it). Not as good as the old ones, though. I think, as someone said, if they could bring it back on Adult Swim and actually do mature humor (not that the original show wasn't funny, it basically introduced me to ironic humor back in the day) it would be great.

Maybe I'm alone in this, but one of my favorite things about this show was how he kept the show both creepy and dark while still kid-friendly. If they brought it back, it wouldn't be right without the characters, and they are not the type I see cursing or making obviously adult oriented jokes. Without the fumbling lose-lose relationship of Zim and Dib, there would be no worthwhile character relationship left on the show, and so getting rid of the kids is out as well.

I think it fits exactly where it is and would be lessened if they allowed more adult humor and situations. I mean, why not just ask for a Johnny the Homicidal Maniac show with aliens?

...

Though I might watch a Squee show.

That would be a better show to put on Adult Swim instead of all that anime crap.

 

[joystickjunki3]

I want the show back, but at the same time I think that it would terribly under-satisfying.

 

[Sonnythemobster]

Yes i want it back on on adult swim instead of them putting fucking "king of the hill" on. god i hate that show. i like alot of the anime but they need more stuff like invader zim, ATHF, Metalocalypse, etc. stuff like that.even family guy and american dad is okay but no king of the hill... anyways. invader zim should be on adult swim.

 

[TMAN10112]

I loved that show, I just can't belive that they got rid of something that great.

[jibjab963]

29 yes's now thats more like it.

 

[Gxas]

Oh god please no. It was such a terrible show for children. Sure, I got laughs out of it, but it should never touch television again.

I just have a quick question, how is that show still on?

 

[jibjab963]

Oh god please no. It was such a terrible show for children. Sure, I got laughs out of it, but it should never touch television again.

When I say T want it back, on mean on Adult swim because it was really ment for older veiwers.

 

[[Gavo]]

]Eh...not really. I liked it when I was small, it's just dumb now. And I think it's still on in the East Coast.

But what if it was on adult swim and it had more dark jokes like it should have?

Wait, so you mean new shows? For an older crowd? Hm..........then yes.

I said it shouldn't be put back on tv. It was a terribly stupid show and shouldn't be put back on tv. Not on Adult Swim, not anywhere. It is good that it is gone. Let it rest in peace.

 

[Amarok]

I liked Invader Zim's darkness, sometimes it was downright disturbing and all the better for it. But, I hate shouting, and Zim, GIR and Dib all did that a LOT, so I'd probably give it a miss if it were to come back.

I'm surprised at how many people here are saying Invader Zim was a dumb show, I mean come one, ever saw Cartoon Network? Cow and Chicken, Ed Edd 'n Eddy, Kids Next Door... now THOSE were dumb shows.

 

[Zankabo]

I would love to see Zim return, but Vasquez has made it clear that he would not come back to it.

Course, I would much rather see an animated Johnny the Homicidal Maniac.. that stuff was great.

Also, for those who felt it was a dumb show.. did you ever really watch it with an understanding of satire? The show was all about poking fun at society, assumptions about 'advanced' alien races, and science!

Oh well.. way ahead of its time, and really not intended for the younger masses.

 

[xitel]

Well, I think it got old fast. I will say that certain things are priceless, but overall it wasn't really that funny.

 

[Wilkopolis]

Hated that show

 

[axia777]

<<<<<<<<<<<< Johnny the Homicidal Maniac. End of Story.

 

[Ace of Spades]

Nope. Never liked it.
