It has been over ten years since the first episode aired, and I still have very fond memories of watching the show with my little sister. I loved it because it was dark, cynical, and most of all, funny. Humans were depicted as stupid oafs and society corrupt and inefficient.

There are rumors that Nick might green light another season if sales of the latest DVD are high enough. I think I'll buy one now.

Ironically, at the same time, I also love bright and happy cartoons like My Little Pony...

I'm going to say Ren and Stimpy was the best Nick had cartoon wise.

Wasn't really my cup of tea, even though I watched it as a kid back in the mid 1990s.

Should say my favorite show on Nickelodean was easily Avatar the Last Airbender.

Really loved the world they made and how they did the story telling. I have seen most of the show. I still need to see how it all ended.

Looking forward to the new series.

Not even in the ballpark. Doug, Rocko, Hey Arnoald, Rugrats...hell even Rocket Power was better than Zim. Zim was a great cartoon but the listed were amazing.

Well, I stopped watching Nick after 2004... So, Avatar: The Last Airbender is quite new for me.

Out of that list, I only really liked Rugrats and see it as equivalent in terms of quality and enjoyability to Zim. The others I am lukewarm on.

I only started watching that specific cartoon because A) my friends highly recommended it and B) the concept interested me. 4 separate tribes and people who can control and 'bend' the 4 basic elements of Earth, Air, Water, Fire to their whim. Each with their own unique characteristics, way of life, attitudes, and philosophies. hell count me interested. Also personally really loved the Earth-benders.

You held out longer than most. I stopped watching Nick in the late 90s when I realized the glory days were gone.

Yeah, it really went down the drain after Zim was cancelled (it was revived for a little while in 2006, but I didn't get to see those episodes). And then Rugrats got cancelled (All Grown Up just wasn't as good), so I then told my parents that we should simply cancel the cable bill and get DSL in the house instead.

Have you bought the Operation Doom DVD? Nick said that they might bring it back if sales are high enough. I just bought a copy on Amazon after seeing the pilot on Youtube again.

It's problem is it wasn't on long enough and it was on when people had given up on Nick. Heck, it's not even really a Nick creation.

Invader Zim only started becoming popular again after Hot Topic started selling t-shirts online with Zim and Dib on them in the mid 2000s. I watched premiere when it first aired (I was 9 years old at the time) and became a fan almost instantly. My fourth grade friends and I would discuss the show over lunch. It was awesome.

Unfortunately, the original creators might not be working on it if it's the case. If they do bring it back, at least keep the artstyle.

If the original creators aren't on board, then why bother? They did the same thing to Ren & Stimpy after Nick fired series creator John K., and it wasn't the same.

Vasquez mentioned that he was interested in working on the show again, but Nick put too many restrictions on the show's content, so that was why he left. If they lose the art style and dark humor that the previous two seasons had, then they can count me out.

I never got into Invader Zim. I was like 6 when it was in its prime, and to be honest it kind of scared me. I grew up on SpongeBob and Fairly Odd Parents.

True I agree with you 100 percent not since invader zim has a show on nick been so amazing, dark and funny I wish they would bring it back but after years of waiting I highly doubt it unfortunately.
