Review of Invader ZIM

Sometimes I think it was for the better that this show got canceled. While it was one of the GREATEST(!) creations of all time by mastermind Jhonen Vasquez (also the mastermind behind the brilliant Johnny the Homicidal Maniac comics) it was also something that probably never should've surfaced on Nickelodean. Invader Zim follows the common thought that one day an alien race will come to our world to whip us clean off the galactic space map: enter Zim with only one problem. He's too stupid for the job and his superiors known as The Tallest, don't want to have anything to do with him and find Earth to be a useless planet in their conquest to take over the universe. The big problem with this show is that there really wasn't any good station for it to go on. Sure Comedy Central or Sci-Fi could've take it under their wings but the ratings probably wouldn't have gone up at all. Nick claims that Invader Zim was canceled due to low ratings. Strange that it was taken off the air directly after 9/11 hit. I've also heard rumors that Nick found out about Johnny the Homicidal Maniac (<-HIGHLY recommended by the way) and became afraid that parents might discover it at a Hot Topic. Whatever the reason maybe it doesn't matter. Vasquez already said that even if he was given the chance he wouldn't raise it from the dead, perhaps he ran out of pig jokes to tell. If you're a fan of satire and extremely bizarre humor (i.e. Aqua Teen Hunger Force) then I highly recommend this series to you. We'll probably never see another series like this.
