Most of the threads in this section are about anime, but I doubt this would bother anyone. (And I doubt anyone will answer anyway)
Does anyone watch this? I know it's old news but I just discovered it since I live in Canada and YTV has just decided to show it. Still, I find it to be a very intelligent and funny show with some witty social commentary, and the characters are so crazy, especially GIR! What does anyone else think of this show?

I think this show used to show on Nickeloneon, but then disappeared. I guess that's because this show would be given a rating that's not for kids (For example, pulling eyes off of someone, then replacing them with mechanical eyes, even only the shadow is showing). And yes, I'd thought you'd like Gir. Lots of my friends loves that green dog-costumed robot. I guess everyone loves him because he's cute in a weird way, and crazy such as his obsession with tacos, biscuts and piggies. *Imagines Gir in TMAoTB in the pig capturing minigame* A robot that can eat! Just like Servbots!

I used to watch that show all the time before they took it off Nickelodeon! I really liked the one episode where Gaz gets her GameSlave 2, and I actually think she's the best character on the show because of it. I also liked the one where Zim built himself robot parents to take to parents day, that was hilarious.

I'm really bitter about this show. It was shown during the two or three year haitus of me not having cable and then it went away before I got it back. It was some weird cult hit that I should known about. But luckily Direct TV has that Nicktoons channel that re-run the old Nicktoons.
I've cought a few episodes and I love it. It has this evil way about it which almost makes it the precourser to The Grim Adventure of Billy and Mandy(which is by far the best show ever).
I'm going to try and see as much as I can.

(At least I hope that's what you meant) I really liked the one episode where Gaz gets her GameSlave 2, and I actually think she's the best character on the show because of it. Ah yes, the gameslave 2 episode was indeed a fine one, I especially liked the character of Iggins, what with all his eyeballs always sticking out. Gaz is great, and especially scary, but my favourite character would have to be Dib. I like the way he thinks and how he's obsessed at proving that Zim's an alien, but despite the fact that everyone judges his quirky behaviour as crazy, he's actually the most logical character in the show, oftentimes pointing out the obvious to the obvlivious and whatnot. I think this show used to show on Nickeloneon, but then disappeared. I guess that's because this show would be given a rating that's not for kids The show's not really for kids, which is why it had such low ratings on Nickelodeon (I don't even know why they put it on Nickelodeon) and was cancelled. If it was on a station that's watched by people older than the age demographic of Nickelodeon, that I assume it may have stood a chance. Well, at least you all got to see it from the beginning, I had to wait four years before basking in its awesomness. I'm just saying is all...

I can't ever watch it on YTV because it's on so late... =( Invader Zim is pure awesomeness... Well, last night there was something wrong with the signal right from ten minutes before IZ was supposed to start right up until ten minutes after it was supposed to end. I stayed up until 3 AM and missed the whole thing because some idiots at the station weren't paying attention. I doubt they'll be repeating the missed episode next week either. IZ needs a waaay better timeslot on YTV, or at least a weekly repeat.

Yeah, it's on waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy too late! 1:00 for me... =( What's really annoying is how they have worse shows (as in bad for the kiddies) before it... =(

Those who live in Canada don't have Nicktoon We're forced to watch it once a week at midnight on Friday nights, and go through the horrible cycle of trash that comes before it, before we can actually get to it. And even then, as was mentionned before, it comes on 15 minutes later than it's supposed to. Sigh....
