For some reason, Invader Zim scares Americans. One little green dude wants to take over the world in a cartoon and parents are already concerned of them taking in the "bad stuff". Are people so untrustworthy of their kids that they can't tell the difference. Invader Zim is a satirical view of the everyday lifestyle. People are always overreacting so they are the exact thing Invader Zim makes fun of. This show is perfect becuase it teaches and develops into smart, critical thinkers that are capable of handling big chores. I want my child to know these things and for him to tell them apart. I don't want him to grow into the adults that Invader Zim shows but a smart, independent thinker. For that, Invader Zim is the smartest, perfect children's show that was taken away too soon.

I LOVE THIS SHOW!

I love this show! When i came back in march, i was so happy! What would be the most satisfiying is Invader ZIM be on Nick instead of NickTOONs because i read this post on another website that said "My 4-year-old cousin, Amanda, doesn't get that channel, so i hope they air it on nick!" so i want it to air for little Amanda.

I would watch every episode before letting my children watch it (if I had children). There are some disturbing scenes that might scare any small children but overall it is great. Your child will laugh at GIR's funny voices and get physically sick at episodes like "Dark Harvest". This is because this TV Show was aimed at an older audience. It doesn't appeal to many children because they might find it a bit dull. (Lot's of sci-fic in it that even I didn't understand the first time watching it!) I suggest talking with your child(ren) about the difference between good and evil since this show mixes it all up to make it one big blob. There are a lot of monsters in it but the plots are completely original. I swear that most of the stuff here you have never seen and never will see again. Another thing is that the humans in this cartoon are posed as stupid, ignorant slobs. A satirical way of looking at h*mo Sapiens. Try it! It may not be funny if you don't like black humor, but the plots themselves and details used in the animation will please both your eyes and your brain. Episodes that may not be suitable for children are: Dark Harvest, Bad Bad Rubber Piggy, Bestest Friend (this one may make them shriek from laughter but tremble at the darkly twisted ending), Plague of Babies, Lice, Bloaty's Pizza Hog and Halloween Spectacular of Spooky Doom

OK, I admit it, this show scared me when I was 4. I just thought it was a bit creepy...but then again, at that time, all I watched was Sailor Moon. After I got older though, my mind did a 180, and actually thought Zim was....cute. Of course., there are some squicky scenes involving pimples bursting that I still haven't gotten over, but if your child's not very easily scared, then it's OK. Or unless they're neat freak.

Dark Harvest is really creepy, and it's creepiest one that I've seen (I've seen most of sesons one and two). It's the episode when Zim steals organs to appear more human. The humor doesn't really light it up very much (Gir isn't in it very much/at all), so that makes too creepy for really little kids. My four year old sister walked in in the middle of it, said she wanted to watch, and I said she could leave if she gets too scared, and she just walked right out right then. If she arrived at any other moment, that would have happened too. My point is, it's written by and stars Jhonen Vasquez, an adult comic book writer. Not for little kids.

Ok... i am going to explain this to people worried about this show for their kids.... Well it is one of the GREATEST TV shows i have ever seen.... as a kid i loved its gross humor... and violence... i didn't get that watching Spongebob... i ok i was 7-8 then... i still love it now... I am sure... that if Nickelodeon would have had the brains to leave this MASTERPIECE.... on the air.. it would be in there top 3 rated shows... Now in a parents prospective... and although i am not a parent allow me to think as one for a moment... this show may have some negative influences on your child... just make sure your kid knows killing and violence is WRONG.... but for the down to earth kid... that is a little mature for his age.... as i was at 7 (maybe why i liked it?)... would love the synnical humor... It truly is upseting that we are trying to baby kids... even when it was on the air the removal of some scenes such as Iggins death... were removed for censorship purposes... If you happen to have digital cable/sattelite or something you can still watch this show... albeit at later hours... so either stay up late or set your DVRs... this is a MUST see...

I have been a big fan of Invader Zim since it first came out when i was 8(I'm 16), and i think it was THE best show on nick. It's a good show and has good hummor! So ppl just hate on it because the dont get the References.
