Mary Harrington approached Jhonen at the SD Comic Con 5 or so years ago and asked him if he would be able to create a viable idea for a Nick TV series. For a year or two they refined the idea and made a bible. As long as it did not contain any references to any 'homicidal maniacs' they were okay. When Nick Central liked the bible they sprang for a pilot, which was made about 3 years back.

Ratings: The only reason solidly stated from NY Nick within the age demographics they used (kids 2-11years old). There is no information available on age groups 12-up, but the show was not rated on the top 20 on rated cable programs of a weekly format. Certain Nick execs stand by the ratings being what killed ZIM. In spite of the budget being the highest than any other current show (but only by 5 percent) and they DID GET that money back in the quality.

The first Episode of IZ was released on DVD on September 20, 2003. It is called 'Nickstravaganza 2' and can only be bought at Wal-Mart, or at Wal-Mart's online store: The Official IZ DVD set is being released by Anime Works (not related to the Nickstravaganza DVD). Please visit out official DVD page for all the latest news. Please DO NOT buy unofficial IZ DVDs that are for sale on ebay and at conventions. I have heard stories of people who buy them and say that the quality sucks.

Because it requires me to bootleg sounds and images from other websites as I do not have the technology to create or produce these materials on my own. I despise doing such. Also, there are plenty of other sites that cover the subject of Invader Zim quite adequately. I do not need to add to the mess with a site filled with unoriginal material.

You can't anymore. Now that the entire series is availble on DVD, we don't believe in sharing episodes.

Twelve years is an awfully long time for any TV show to stay on the air, even an all-time great like this one. The ratings had been trending steadily downward since the end of Rick Schroder's first season and the budget kept going up. For the last year or two, the only thing keeping Blue on the ABC schedule was the fact that every new drama the network premiered flopped miserably. Once Lost and Desperate Housewives became huge hits, ABC finally had the security to retire Blue once and for all.

Nothing you say or do will ever bring ZIM back. However, if you refuse to believe us or have some other reason for contacting someone, these addresses were graciously provided by -45- It has also been suggested by -45- that you tell Nick how much you want to buy ZIM toys and Merchandise!! Money *does* talk - show them how much cash they could make if they would really support the show with some good old-fashioned marketing.

May 1865, Gen. Richard Taylor surrendered Dept. of Alabama, Mississippi, and Eastern Louisiana at Citronelle, AL May 1865, engagement at Palmetto Ranch, near Brownsville, TX, often taken to be the last engagement of the war June 1865, Gen. E.K. Smith surrendered the Trans-Mississippi Department at Galveston, TX (the surrender had been agreed to by Smith's representative, Lt Gen S.B. Buckner, in New Orleans on 26 May) June 1865, Pres. Johnson proclaimed the insurrection in Tennessee at an end.

They were nominated for 6 Annies- Music, Direction, Storyboarding, Design, Best Show and Voice Acting (Richard). There are only 7 or so categories for TV in the Annies and they had nearly all of them tied down- No other show that year could claim as many nominations as they had. In fact, no other shows were even close. Steve feels the only reason they didn't win more was due to their rather fresh, unknown status with most the judges. (Frankly, they should have won for Music if nothing else).

Yes. It was canceled due to low ratings (either that or just Nick didn't like it. It was both, since Nick threw the show around the schedule without advertising it to let people know.) It was cancelled in the middle of production of season 2, thus, breaking the original contract with Jhonen.

Since Zim is completely done for as of now, you may have a little trouble finding stuff. Hot Topic would be a good place to start. Target may have some stuff, but it's unlikely.

Jhonen Vasquez (creator) and Steve Ressel (director) have already expressed that they would not return to the show. Some of the crew may return. Some wouldn't. Zim wouldn't be the same. No, that's what Ask Jason Stiff is for. (The reason there is no Ask Jhonen is because Jhonen... well, he probably wouldn't want to do it.) Okay, here's the thing. 99% of the questions that come in are stupid, goofy questions.

No. That is a fallacy that started well after the war. H G Wells wrote a book in 1914 called "The war that will end war". It is one of his lesser works and apart from the name is almost forgotten. Wells soon turned his attention to inflammatory and often contradictory politics.

The main reason was probably war weariness on the part of civilians, supporters of paramilitary groups, and the paramilitaries themselves. Those who decided to engage with the Republican movement were probably able to convince enough members that their political objectives could more readily be achieved by constitutional means than by violence.

Only a desperate need for money (as in, work or starve) would get most members of the crew to return to working on that show. Or maybe once people healed their wounds, they would go back. However it is more likely the crew will move on to other projects, and the best thing to do is wish them luck and hope more GOOD shows like ZIM will come in the future.

The first staff member to join our message board signs on under the name "-45-." By now there's no point keeping secret that he is Ian Graham, ZIM storyboard artist. If you look at the episodes Career Day and Mysterious Mysteries, He is in line for a cocofang autograph and is one of the Saucer Morons in the Blotch crowd, respectively (there are other cameos of him on the show where he wears a hat with -45- on it... search).

That would have to be Eslington, after his first foolicide. He morphed into special operative HeadLice, suffered great head trauma, and became preoccupied about his mates and reproduction of his species. Thoroughly disliked as he tried to get ahead, he was often declared a big itch by those who wanted to scratch him off. His sole successor, a Louse, was overcome by loneliness and rejection when consigned to an armed pit. Just when it appeared he was going down the drain, he morphed again.

the end of Keeping Faith, I wanted you to feel like Mariah and Millie and Ian and everyone else who comes into contact with Faith - like you've had to rethink what you believe. Whether you think she's a prophet or a messiah or a fake, she is ultimately a little girl who hasn't had her mom's attention before. And AT THAT MOMENT she does fake speaking to God, because she isn't willing to lose that attention.

When Chris finds the blank piece of paper, it may or may not be tied to the earlier scene where Em recollects sexual abuse at the hands of the Creep, and writes a note to Chris via their can system…but the can gets stuck. No matter what, the note is now bleached blank by age. This is because like Chris, we will never know what made Em suicidal. We will have to write our own answers to that question…and Chris will have to write his own future.
