Invader Zim Updates!!

Guys I have great news! Invader Zim is back on the air! However, Nickelodeon is not making new episodes, the children's network is showing reruns of the show. I believe this should not be the case, if Nickelodeon provides reruns of old episodes, why not just make brand new episodes? Invader Zim is actually becoming a hit to many pre-teens, teens, young adults, and even adults! If any of you have already seen Invader Zim episodes on Nick and you still want to support it here is an idea. Go to Hot Topic! Hot Topic was founded in 1980's. First they had a band theme and sold things like
rocker shirts, hard metal CDs , etc, but now they sell things a bit different.

 "As we expanded, we also discovered that customers were equally drawn to the underground cartoon, cult movie, and comic book scenes. It was a unique culture fans could call their own, so we brought the world of South Park, Care Bears, Superman, SpongeBob and tons of other pop icons right to them!" http://community.hottopic.com/content/about-hot-topic

Hot Topic now sells brands of t-shirts, CDs, DVDs, accessories , and more! Hot Topic is for guys and girls, also it is were I get all of my Invader Zim tees. I also get some of Eminem merchandise there too! If any of you guys or girls out there are not scared to wear something like this (refer to picture) then go for it! I will tell you that i don't care what people think of me wearing something like this, and neither should you!

Welcome!

Hi everyone and welcome to my new blog, Invader Zim, Bring Zim Back! I am Alec D, and I have never written a blog before in my life! So this is all new to me, however it is rather fun to express your feelings and thoughts and share them to others! I currently am a Freshman at South Fayette and I am loving it. Who knew that I be enjoying school for once in my life? But enough about me, lets talk about why I am writing this blog. The reason I am doing this blog is because of the show I really enjoyed called, Invader Zim. It was canceled from its network it was showing on, Nickelodeon. This really displeased me and other viewers from all over the world. Nickelodeon did have its reasons for canceling the famous television series, but they provided reasons that could have been edited! The reasons they provided were simple tasks to change, but the editors of Invader Zim

 didn't feel like changing anything of the show and therefore kept it as it was and had it removed from the network and wiped from its website and television channel. This did not occur for long, Nickelodeon did have reruns of the show starting in 2008, but they did not show every episode there was since Nickelodeon was already running other television shows and need the space and time for those shows. However this still was not satisfying many viewers, people wanted the real series back

 and creating other ideas! This is why I am writing this blog to tell everyone that Invader Zim should have never been removed from television! After you read my next blog I hope you all will agree with me, if you do not that is okay. You just watch the television shows that you watch now. And I will watch Invader Zim everyday till I grow out of it or even die!

Invader Zim, Bring Zim Back!

The show Invader Zim, created by Jhonez Vasques, was cancelled for no reason. I believe that it should have stayed on the air longer than it did, however its network disagreed. Invader Zim was running on  Nickelodeon, they were the ones who took Invader Zim off the network. They did give reasons for ending the show. It was cancelled because the director wanted scenes that Nickelodeon did not find appropriate for kids that might watch the show. Even though the show mostly drew the attention of teens not children. However Vasques did not go down easily! "Jhonen Vasquez actually had a lot of arguments with Nickelodeon about some scenes in Invader Zim." For example, in of the episodes he wanted one of the characters to be covered in blood. You can see this image on the right. The character's name was Gir, he was the most known character because of his hilarious one liners, and his weird obsessions! In the episode he goes crazy and attacks the public library for more knowledge on Earth. Nickelodeon saw this image and disagreed, they believed that he was asking too much to put that on their network. This frustrated Vasques and he still wanted the image to be in the series. So what he did was put pieces in the episodes and had the viewers find them there selves and he put a picture of the character on the internet. However this was not the reason why the show was cancelled! Nickelodeon did not find out about the image until after they removed the show from its network. There was other reasons such as, dark comedy used. In one of the episodes Zim goes around the school stealing all the kids organs because he was afraid they would find that he was not human when the school did x-rays on their students. Other reasons where that it was not getting ratings Nickelodeon hoped for, parents did not like the show at all, and Jhonen Vasquez just went insane with the show. He never was a children's show writer. Yes, this does end at a sad note, but it all turned out better because in the 2000's, Nickelodeon let the show back on with reruns! In the end, the show was funny and entertaining, Nickelodeon should have kept it on!
