Probably one of the darkest cartoons that has been on Nickelodeon, Invader Zim certainly has gained a great following and merchandise sells very fast. The alien race Zim belongs tries to take over as many planets as they possibly can. However, when Zim comes to get his mission the aliens give him a small planet called earth, because they find him incompitent. With this unlike ever other alien who gets a smart robot, Zim recieves a very brainless defunct robot, named Grrr. Nobody plans to see Zim ever again, but to their surprise he lands on earth, sets his house up complete with a laboratory basements and scary lawn knomes. Zim enrolls in a local school where comdions are very poor. Here he meets and obsessive "believer" (ie. believes in aliens and believes the are going to land) who would love to find out all about Zims race and torture him, too. And thus the misadventures of Zim. Throw in a few thousand rubber piggies, tacos, and a t.v. scientist and you've definatly got quality entertament! Invader Zim usually airs on Nickelodeon Fridays around 9pm, or Sundays at 1pm.
