Nick Cancelling Invader Zim

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the why-does-all-the-best-tv-get-cancelled dept.

orn writes "Lots of my slashdotting friends turned me on to Invader Zim not so long ago. Well, aintitcool.com is reporting that the show is being cancelled." Now that really sucks. Zim was absolute genius in terms of art, use of CG, and just flat out hilarious writing. I'll miss this one a lot.

    I'm looking forward the wonderful* Klasky-Csupo show that they'll replace it with! Maybe it will be great** like that awesome*** show, Rugrats!

    * - dismal
    ** - extremely shitty
    *** - drawn-out, redundant, no good, very bad

    Nickelodeon is quickly becoming a channel that shows exactly four different shows: Rugrats, SpongeBob, that one show that had Burger King toys a while back, and another new show that takes everything TO THE EXTREME!! I'd rather they showed stuff like Zim, but then I remembered - that's what Cartoon Network is for! Fuck Nick. Show Zim on the channel that actually has quality TV like Cowboy Bebop!

    Translation: "I watch only Invader Zim on Nick. Cancel IZ and I won't watch any other of Nick's shows even though I don't watch them anyway."

    Huh?

    CmdrTaco, have you ever notice how often shows are taken off the air when *you* like them? Once a month we are treated on Slashdot with "Gee, I liked this show and now they are taking it off the air!!!". I don't think the shows are the problem, its you. Do us all a favor and stop watching television! That way these cool shows will stay on the air. You are a TV Show Jinx.

    Man, and I thought bullying ended in highschool. I can't believe there are immature people such as this working in corporations like Nickelodeon. Where does it end? Where do people finally learn about empathy, and open-mindedness?

    It's no wonder that businesses are run the way they are, people like you push and shove your way to the top instead of working and earning their way to the top.
