I love this show and wish it would still play on Nick. Unfortunately all I got to see of it was the first episode and clips of the show on youtube. Ha ha, "that's a government pig!" ohhh... I do beleive that there are DVDs with episodes on them, and I plan on purchasing them if I can find them. I know other people here like this show, so I opened this thread for discussing it. WOO HOO!! :bloocross: Let's get this discussion started!! WHOOO!!!

This one of my favorite shows, period. I have nearly all of the figures, and between my brother and I we have I think most of the t-shirts, and my purse is a GIR messenger bag. I really think I want to go ahead and be Gaz this year for Halloween, which means my brother will want to be Dib more likely than not. Unfortunately we have noplace to go, and we know from experience we get zero trick-or-treaters here. :P I hate waiting all year for Halloween only for nothing good to happen. :( Well I can wear the Gaz costume to Comic-Con next year or something.

Oh yes, Invader Zim is indeed high on my list of my favorite animated programs. I wonder if I should bring that cardboard DVD carrying case in the shape of Zim's house to comic con next year? Just in case if I get to meet Jhonen Vasquez or Richard Horvitz, I can get them to sign it.
I could try my hand at cosplaying Dib, but I fear my head's not large enough to make a convincing doppelganger. 8D

If you like Zim you should read some of JVs comics, "Squee!" is my personal fave. But back to Zim, it's kind of sad that they cancelled it in favor of Sponge Bob.

Yay! An Invader Zim thread!

It wasn't cancelled in favor of SB. Nick just wanted to pull the plug because of the show's low ratings and them constantly butting heads with its creator. Zim just wasn't meant for the TV-Y7 audience.
Anyway, I remember religiously taping every new episode during that miserable, once-a-week Friday night slot back when IZ still aired. As far as favorite episodes go, Tak: the Hideous New Girl and Backseat Drivers from Beyond the Stars win, hands down. I was never a fan of the deformed character plushies, but I was buying shirts, pins, keychains, and patches left and right. The Hot Topic employees knew me by name, and I had to travel to either Phoenix or San Diego to shop because there was no HT in my town. Of course, by the time I grew out of it, we had a Hot Topic built at our mall. Go figure.
I still love Invader Zim, though not to the unhealthy extent that I used to 3 or 4 years ago. The avatar I have is a sketch of Almighty Tallest Miyuki, a former Irken leader that was to appear in The Trial, one of the canned episodes that was already in script form. Yeah, it was NOT okay when they cancelled it.
Yeah Nick really dropped the ball with Zim, they should have given up the rights to the show and let Cartoon Network run with it.
You have no idea how many times I dreamed of that happening. Unfortunately, Nick would sooner drop dead than ever give up the rights to any of their shows.

Zim was doomed to the start, they killed the show on purpose. The put it in the 9:00 time slot, which was an attempt to kill it. It worked. NICK WILL RUE THE DAY THEY CANCELLED ZIM!!!!!!
I LOVE this show! Of course I didn't get into it until five years AFTER it aired. I had no idea what the huge obsession was with it when it first aired back in '01. I kept seeing people walking around with IZ t-shirts and key chains and even book bags. The goth chicks in my school had the pencils and notebooks and stuff even. I was thinking it was a fad, it was, but then I watched the show in late '05 and I realized that I would have been one of those groupies had I watched it back then. I was a groupie for about three months. Then the repeating shows got hella old and I couldn't take it anymore. I still swear my Gir t-shirt proudly though.

You should check out JTHM or I Feel Sick comics. Jhonen does some good stuff. It's also more mature.
A group of friends I knew were obsessed with JTHM back in High School. I didn't care for it at all becaues I wasn't into that morbid stuff back then. Now I can't get enough. I've been searching all over the net for a preview of those comic books but I can't even seem to find a website dedicated to him.

Annie Guish couldn't have taken a better stab at the goth subculture. ;D I Feel Sick is slightly less morbid than JTHM, which is why I had an easier time reading it. It's really good. Go try it.

I loved it when it was on TV, but not having cable made it so I only saw very little. After it was cancelled, I forgot all about it. Then, as I was browsing the roleplaying board on neopets, I saw a IZ RP and remembered. 'OH YEAH, I LOVED THAT SHOW!' So I asked the roleplayers and they told me where I could buy the DVDs, then did. After that, it was the 100+ Invader Zim merchandise. Yep.

I'm merely assuming this since you list I Feel Sick and JTHM and not it, but if you haven't you really SHOULD read Squee!. In all honesty, it really did break from the overly morbid atmosphere of JTHM and I Feel Sick and was, in my honest opinion, the spiritual predecessor to Invader Zim. If you look really hard, you'll see that the writing style he used for Zim was a somewhat more toned down version of Squee, which really deviated from the styles of his other two comics (well, major comics; I don't really consider his BAC a really project).
And Zim was awesome. My five favorite episodes, in order, are:
1. Mysterious Mysteries
2. Megadoomer
3. Attack of the Saucer Morons
4. Dib's Wonderful Life of Doom
5. Room with a Moose

Yep, I have the paperback. :3 SQUEE! was actually the reason Nickelodeon approached Jhonen Vasquez. I still to this day have NO clue exactly as to what they were thinking since they were a kid-friendly network, and here they were asking the creator of a comic series named 'Johnny the Homicidal Maniac' to do a cartoon for them.

Ditto on that. I remember waay back when the script became available on an old message board I was constantly cursing Nick for having canned all those episodes. The Trial would have been the one chance to have seen Tallest Miyuki and the Control Brains that pretty much ran the entire Irken empire. I think Tak was also to have made a second appearance in Top of the Line, which I would have killed to have seen. She was undeniably awesome. I definitely agree with Invader Bloo. I personally did not care much for the last episodes. "Mortos" was more of a catastrophe than it was funny and "Gaz: Taster of Pork" was... well, a waste of time. I would have preferred to have seen instead more episodes that focused on the Irken empire, but that's pretty much were much of the problems came from: the CGI effects that made Invader Zim's space scenes so amazing (Battle of the Planets) was becoming too expensive for Nickelodeon's comfort, along with constant head-butting with Jhonen Vasquez. I guess the show was doomed from the start, really.
And we *needed* Nubs of Doom! It didn't explain at all how Minimoose came to be when The Most Horrible X-Mas Ever was aired.
And the Return of Keef where Zim and Dib were supposed to hug?! I only listened to the recorded script, and it was hilarious!

Speaking of bloody GIRs and such, does anyone own the third IZ DVD? Anyway, someone watch Backseat Drivers from Beyond the Stars with the captions on. I rewinded this part a couple of times and the captions definitely have Zim saying "damn". He says "Dib!" when Dib appears as a hologram when Zim's controlling The Massive, but those captions read otherwise. I just need someone else to say they've seen that, too!
I wanted to check this for you on the DVD, but I couldn't find a place to turn the English captions on, only the Irken captions. Unless you're saying you were reading the Irken captions. ;) Do you remember where you go to put the English captions on, or was this a video you made from TV with the closed-captioning turned on?

...Sometimes if you turn the closed captions on you'll be able to read what he says. P.S. Cool avatar

I just found out about another bloody GIR!It's at the near end of the episode "Tak,the hideous new girl".It's supposed to be at the scene where the whole screen goes almost completly white when Tak's ship crashes.It's supposed to be very faint. I think I might have found it.

Yeah you can turn on Irken-language captions (subtitles). It's a very geeky feature. ;) As for turning on closed-captioning, is that something I do through my TV set or something? Because there's no option for English subtitles on the DVDs. I *never* use closed-captioning, so I seriously don't know how to turn it on.
What do they Irken captions look like? Just subtitles in Irken language? Does the DVD give you a translation of the words?

Well, they're subtitles in Irken (maybe made with the Irken font you can download online (http://www.roomwithamoose.com/fonts.php)), but it doesn't look like they took the real English subtitles and then turned them into the Irken font, it *looks* like they just typed a bunch of gobbledegook using the Irken font. Like, the words don't match up or anything.
Does the DVD give you a translation of the words?
Nowhere that I can see.
Darn. Oh well. Thanks for answering.

Closed captions are something you do through the tv. As for how to put them on, I don't think I'd be able to help since every remote control differs on where to turn on this feature. On my remote, I press "Action", and then choose "TV" on my screen. The closed caption feature is autimatically there. All I have to do is press "Action" again until it reads CC1.
The DVDs probably lack the English subtitles feature because they already have CC.

AFAIK, most fan-made movies of that use Mr. Wonderful by Smile.dk from Dance Dance Revolution 3th Mix.
