The series won an Annie Award, an Emmy Award and a World Animation Celebration Award, and received nominations for seven additional Annie Awards and two Golden Reel Awards. In the years following its cancellation, Invader Zim has often been listed as one of Nickelodeon's best shows. Invader Zim received positive reviews from critics and audiences, with praise primarily directed at its humor, writing, animation, art-style, and the way it pushed the boundaries of what was considered acceptable on children's television. These episodes were first made available on DVD in 2004 and later made their television debut on the Nicktoons Network in 2006. The show originally aired on Nickelodeon from 2001 to 2002, with six of the completed second-season episodes initially going unreleased. Before the second season was completed, Nickelodeon cancelled the series, leaving several episodes unfinished. As the series went on, ratings declined and budgetary issues became more frequent. In Vasquez's words 'it went from pitch to series without hardly any waiting'. Nickelodeon contacted Jhonen Vasquez about pitching ideas for an animated series for their older demographic and Invader Zim was the first thing he pitched. He is antagonized by Dib ( Andy Berman), a young paranormal investigator who is determined to stop Zim from succeeding. The series centers on an extraterrestrial named Zim (voiced by Richard Steven Horvitz), from the planet Irk, and his mission is to conquer Earth and enslave the human race along with his malfunctioning robot servant GIR ( Rosearik Rikki Simons). Invader Zim is an American animated science fiction dark comedy television series created by comic book writer and cartoonist Jhonen Vasquez for Nickelodeon.
