What Parents Need to Know
About Invader Zim
Parents need to know that this sci-fi cartoon is dark, sarcastic, and satirical. It follows a little alien space invader named Zim who wants to take over (and destroy) Earth. That goal leads to a fair amount of cartoon violence, mostly in the form of bashing about and laser gun use. There are no real lessons here, but younger tweens will probably find it entertaining.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about Zim's motives -- and how he goes about trying to achieve them. Why do you think he wants to take over the Earth? What is he trying to prove? And to whom? Is there a better way he could make his point? Families can also discuss the fine line between kid-oriented cartoons and those meant more for adults. What should kids do if they're ever uncomfortable with something they see on TV?

Great show, and nick was never made for babies. Seriously what is going on with nick?
One of the three shows I miss like heck! 1. Invader Zim 2. Rocco's Modern Life 3. Cat-Dog It was not inappropriate. It was funny and about as violent as every other show on nick, it didn't have to send out positive messages, seriously when is Nick going to realize is a channel for tweens and Nick Jr was made for the kids under 8. Please air it again.
