Delaney Smith This is easily the DARKEST children's show I've ever seen in my life. But it's perfect! The voice acting is perfect, the animation is flawless, the plot lines are absurd and hilarious, and the characters are all well-developed and fun to watch.Zim is the perfect main character--Ambitious, self-centered and determined, yet blissfully unaware of what's going on around him. Not to mention he can, on occasion, be a complete and utter badass. Dib works off of Zim perfectly, and the situations they get into are just... How do you even describe it? One moment, Dib is trying to stop Zim from stealing the organs of kids, another they're working together to stop a giant hamster-monster. Don't even get me started on Gir. I think he's gone a little bit too mainstream, but can you really see why? He's even dumber than Zim, disobedient, and somehow gluttonous, but he's so quotable and hilarious you can't help but laugh every time he's on screen. Even the minor and side characters are unique. Gaz is easily the coolest female character I've ever seen on Nickelodeon (Though that's up against some serious competition). Tak is just awesome... She somehow got an entire backstory and motive crammed into one episode.The score is unique and dark. It gives you this "action scene" vibe. We need that vibe more often.The relationships of the characters are unique as well... Zim and Dib loathe each other, but when they work together, you get this sense of teamwork. Gaz and Dib are siblings, right? Well, Gaz couldn't care less about Dib, though he really cares about his younger sister.This was really one of Nickelodeon's shining moments. It's truly a shame it had to end. But if you're interested, there's a comic. Which is also great.

hollylew This show is basically about a little alien banished from his home planet, Irk, because he almost destroyed it in Mission Impending Doom. So, he gets banished to planet Foodcourtia to spend his days as a fry cook, but "quits being banished" when he hears that the Almighty Tallest (the leaders of Irk) are assigning Irken soldiers to observe various planets. Zim begs them, and they assign him to a mysterious planet called Earth. There, Zim tries to fit in with all the other humans at Skool (literally, that's how they spell it.) He has a robot dog named Gir, which is an idiot, but he fits in well with the plot.Anyways, no one suspects that Zim is an alien, except for a large-headed kid named Dib. Dib is the lunatic in the show, as his classmates make him seem, but in reality, he's the only sane one. He sees through Zim's terrible disguise, and starts to follow him around everywhere (he's a paranormal investigator). Dib has a scary sister named Gaz that is really into video games, rubber pigs, and pizza. She tries to not care too much about anything else.Now for the review!Well, I watched this show when I was younger, back in 2003-2006. (I was 6 years old when I last saw this on TV.) Anyways, I always thought something was strange about this show. I didn't know if it was the red skies, or how creepy Ms. Bitters was, or the harvesting of organs in one of the episodes, but this show just seemed very odd.I watched it again (now I'm 15, almost 16) and in my opinion, I find it kinda enjoyable to watch. There's a bunch of dark humor mixed in with violence and stupidness. It's a show that's hard to resist, despite your age. Zim overreacts to most situations, which is hilarious, knowing that he's on a completely different planet, and doesn't know what to expect.So, as I was saying, "dark humor." Some of the episodes could get pretty disturbing, such as "Dark Harvest," or "Bad, Bad Rubber Piggy." People either die or suffer. Yet, this show was on Nickelodeon. Teehee.IZ has incredible voice actors such as Richard Horvitz (Zim), who could make Zim seem adorable to evil in a split second. Zim's evil laugh is amazing too.Overall, I enjoyed this show when I was younger, and I still enjoy it today. I have no idea how I remembered this show from when I was 5 years old, but whatever! I love it! I'd recommend it to anyone who doesn't mind a little dark humor.

max-k-hansen We require more Zim. And Gir. Let us not forget the Gir.(Should be all upper case, but it wont let me, also, this site is very P.C., obviously, and it's kind of annoying). Apparently I am shouting in my review, so I'll write more. This show is great it if funny as all hell. I personally love it. Makes fun of many things, including the rising obesity epidemic (which is somewhat close to me). No only that, but it has much darker humor than many 'kids' shows and I love the randomness. Plus, all the characters seem to be pretty well developed, but I may be talking out my butt (can I swear on this site? Seems to be very P.C. oriented). Anywho, good show. Funny, and all that stuff. There. Is that long enough for you? Is it enough for you snobs to realize that Gir is all powerful, and that the mighty Zim is the greatest, and should be re-aired.

doglover_08 I only started watching this in mid-September 2011 and I've realized how funny this show actually is. I've downloaded all the episodes and I can't stop watching this. Richard Horvitz voices Zim so amazingly well & Rikki Simons is the perfect person to voice GIR. Even though GIR may be the funniest character on the show, my favourite character would definitely have to be Zim. He's very awesome as well and he knows that his rival, Dib, will never get to prove to anyone that Zim is actually an alien with a very cool disguise. I don't like Dib as much as what Zim does, but one day, Zim WILL destroy Dib and then he won't have to put up with Dib anymore. Doom to Dib and hooray for Zim! I haven't forgotten about GIR. He's Zim's crazy, silly, but funny robot servant, even when he's in his dog disguise and singing the Doom Song. GIR even says some of the most random, but funny things in a lot of the episodes. I know Zim can't stand GIR sometimes, but GIR can be quite helpful when he's helping Zim defeat Dib. I would keep watching 'Invader Zim' episodes every day, even when I get older and to finish off this review, episodes with only just Dib and Gaz aren't as funny as the episodes with Zim and GIR, which is true. Like the title says, 'You rock, Zim!'
