An often random children's show created by
Jhonen Vasquez, the force behind such great comics as
Jhonny the Homocidal Maniac and
Squee. It centered around a green alien named
Zim who was sent out on a phony mission by his leaders
The Tallest to conquer Earth along with a reject robot named
GiR. The series lasted only 38 episodes despite the large fanbase and hillarity of the show. Several rumors have been circulating about the show's cancelation, such as an older target audience and a lawsuit by parents after their children read
Johnny the Homocidal Maniac, a book
Jhonen did not intend for younger audiences.
