Zim (retro)

I'd like to tell you about one of the best cartoons I have ever seen. It is called Invader Zim and it's about an alien who comes to Earth in hopes of one day claiming it for his race. He sets up a base disguised as a suburban home and begins going to elementary skool so that no one will suspect a thing. One of his classmates, named "Dib", figures out that Zim is an alien and tries to expose him to the world. The only problem is that no one believes Dib because he's always talking about UFOs and alien conspiracies.

This show is a work of pure genius and I highly recommend it to everyone. The sad part is that it has already been cancelled. No real reason was given so I have come up with my own reason and here it is: Nickelodeon sucks!

About a year ago, Zim made it's debut on Nickelodeon. Now, I know what you're thinking, "A good show on Nickelodeon, how is that possible?" Well, it was, until Zim got cancelled in mid-January. Nick hadn't even shown the second season yet, leaving everyone who liked the show scratching their heads like neanderthals.

I could go on about this forever but it won't change anything. There are twelve more episodes left to air from the second season. It's on Nickelodeon every Friday night at 9:30pm and then rerun on Sunday at 1pm.

Watch an episode and maybe you'll understand why no one understands.
