Unfinished Episodes
September 16, 2007
“All episodes after “The Frycook What Came from All That Space” were scrapped in mid-production. A handful of recordings by the series voice cast exist for some of these unfinished episodes, and the scripts for many can now be found on fan sites on the web. Most of this material was also released with the Invader Zim ‘house’ DVD box set as a special edition disc. Jhonen stated in the audio commentary that had the show continued, it would have leaned more towards a sci-fi styled show, with more space battles along the lines of “Backseat Drivers from Beyond the Stars”"
-quote from Wikipedia about the unfinished episodes.

Do you think anyone will take this up and complete the unfinished episodes?
I sure hope so. The titles sound cool.
Leave comments about whether you think anyone will take the series up and finish it.
Ya i love this… but this site needs more full episodes!!
The title “Invader Dib” makes me wonder…
does Dib become an invader???? “tell me!” haha
@Mara: I have no idea. The episodes are unfinished, and so far, they will continue to be unfinished because the makers of “Invader Zim” have gone on to other projects.
If you buy the “Invader Zim” box set, it comes with a DVD about the unfinished episodes. I haven’t seen it yet, but if there is any official info about it, that’s where it would be.
I saw on wikipedia that the last episode was originally planned for Dib to invade and attack the Irken’s homeland with an army. Check it out at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_invader_zim_episodes#Unfinished_episodes
i read on wikipedia about invader dib
it says that it was supposed to be a tv movie season finale
dib was supposed to invade and attack the irken’s homeland with some army
if it hadnt been for nick to ban the series, this would’ve come out!!
i wanna see it >.<
More detailed information of scrapped (& unscrapped) shows can be found on http://www.buzzyworld.com/zim/episodes/ if you scroll down.
Thanks IrkedIrken, I’ll have a look and do some editing as soon as I can.
Why did Nick ban the series? It’s AWESOME! D:
Why did we get canceled anyways? WE did nothing wrong!?
2 QueenClara: It was because they “didn’t like it.” Their excuse was low ratings. XP
To many people who commented, like Mara, go on wikipedia and serch Invader Zim. The unfinished episodes have plot summaries.
i heard that in ten minutes to doom they almost made zim die in the end of it, really
IZFAS (Invader Zim animated Fan series) is trying to do these episodes,do more episodes if they can,and do Invader Dib.
Anyways,I hope they dont do Invader Dib…
because Dib was supposed to kill all the irkens…and SIRS.
O_O
The season finale was supposed to be Tenn being captured,and rescude (sp?) by Zim and all the other irkens…Dib would have followed him,leading to the TV Movie.
If that happened I’d have to redo my mini fanfics. D:<
(dont judge me by that lol,I get bored since this isnt on anymore)
they cancled it because they found bloody girs,pieces of the show that suggested more of a violent side,and the fact that jhonen has stated b4 that he wanted more violence in the show.
i wanna see invader dib it sounds so cool
Oh my god. Why is every one sayng Dib killing the irkens is bad? SOMETHING has to die in that show. and it wasnt canceld JUST because of the bloody girrs. Noone really knows why. except there are three other theroys blowing around.
1. low raitings.
2. They(NIckelodian)didn’t like it, so they kept fairly odd parents.
3. Jhonen and the crew moved on cuz they hated it.
I really dont wanna sound like a know it all. I just want people to stop being confused and tearing there hair out like i was before i reasearched.
i no for a fact that in the end zim fails and gets set back to irk and i also no for a fact that the show is not coming back. no matter how bad you and i want it back. nick made a huge deal about bloody gir(and other). it was not bad rating its because some fagget parents saw there kids watching it and where discusted and started complaining about it.so blame your fagget parents!
You know what, ASHTON, just shut up because it wasnt the parents! it was jhonen! and it was too frickin violent. soooo, yea
@ Rory,
LOL..only I said it was bad.And I wouldn’t care..I just have ALWAYS hated Dib.XD
So seeing him kill the irkens to me would be like seeing Hannah Montana kill Nny.
Get my point?
@Ashton,
true,true.
BUT…I know some parents that liked the show more than their kids.
Like my uncle did
i just dont understand why some parents are so overly protective…blood is normal…violence is normal..doesnt mean its right…but its normal and it happens everyday and everywhere…if you over protect your kids…those kids will grow up to be pretty naive nd vulnerable adults…i think you can do everything in the world but with some limits of course…also why didn vasquez jus go to CN…adult swim wouldve loved a more funny nd bloodier invader zim…
i love the most harrible xmas ever song it go’s bow down bow down before the power of santa or be crushed be crushed by his jolly boots of doom.bow down bow down before the power of santa or be crushed be crushed by his jolly boots of doom
zim´s last blog ..Plague of Babies
my friend told me its becuze thare are 2 vertions of dark havest 1 is whare he takes a fork and eats peoples orgins
invader zorbak´s last blog ..Plague of Babies
mmm invader dib?
Um, I read from a site I found that Dib wasn’t supposed to kill all the Irkens. From my source, he teams up with the Meekrob and Resisty in an invasion against the Irken armada, lead by Zim.
In the end, though, Dib and his side lose, Zim goes on to become Tallest, and Dib is then forever a subject to experiments.
This is a link to the site I got this info from:
http://scratchpad.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_Invader_Zim_episodes
They describe it in more detail than wikipedia, I think… o.O
10 Minutes to Doom is where Zim loses his P.A.C.. He has 10 minutes until he dies. Jhonen Vasquez (Creator of the show) ment for Zim to die and that will be a good Series Fanale, but Nickelodeon banned of that to happen, because in case if they want to get the series back (It is 90% NOT HAPPENING.) So, Zim gets his P.A.C. back in the last minute. FUN FACT: This episode’s audio was recored after the show was cancelled.
I hate Bloody GIR. GIR is annoying enough.
OOOOOO,OOOOOOO, OOOOOOOOOO!!! I WANNA SEE GIRS BIG DAY!!! IT SOUNDS UBERFULLZ!!!!
Nyeh. I found it sad it was canceld and “Banned”. I was only… 5 when Zim was on TV. But, I can recall how much I watched the show and loved it. Was one of my favs. Then I forgot it when I was older, like now. Till I saw this pic of a purple moose and said- “…Odd…..I feel like I know that moose some how…” Then a few weeks later I remebered Zim while watching a video on YT. “So THATS where that moose came from. I KNEW I KNEW THAT MOOSE.” But, I guess it shall never come back. For a fact I know. Sad sad. But at least they still have Shirts, braclets, hats, and all that. Even today I went to Hot Topic and got A Gir Shirt, Necklace, Folder and notebook. So its not so bad. DVD’s are allways avable to me, Itunes also has all the episodes last time I looked. *Sighs* I can recall the only bit of what I can remember from Zim when I was younger… about… 2 seconds of the title scean. Short, But I just find the show Inspiring, despite of dumb the charatars may be. Zim is one of my fav parts of my early childhood. So I shall allways love it. <3 (That was long..)
I wish the show did continue that way I can see more of what happened to Zim and the gang. One episode that would’ve been a real hoot to me was “It Feeds On Noodles.” Someday it’ll return, but until then, people can just make sequels to what happens after the series ended with season 2.
As much as I want it to come back, I don’t think it will. Jhonen even said that he would commit Suicide before bringing the show back. Sad… I didn’t remember it until I saw someone with a Gir shirt. I asked them where it was from and they didn’t know (I hate it when people do this) and I looked up ‘green dog’ and found it. I agree AKA Waffle. It was a great part of my childhood and will always love it.
The best would of been invaider dib the movie!
but these episodes still can be seen
somehow..?
but the owner of invaider zim still has the copys id say
so if someone was brave…. they could get them and somehow make them seen on tv
willing to have the guts to do tht!
ur a hero
hmm when this was on I was only 1-4 and I liked it… really? how is bloody gir bad? Its rated Y 7 right? right?
>_> I heard two of the guys that made invader zim quit. So yeah, zim will turn into a cloud that pukes rainbows.
Just get the point of this: the creator is stupid. It was a cool show. Why Didn’t he just move to CN or something else?Also,nick is stupid. Just because of a bloody gir the show was canceled. Almost every TV show has blood in it. Canceling the show was a total error.
I never watched the show in my childhood. I was too afraid of the theme song. But I remember watching the end of Rise of the zit boy. Then one day I was on youtube and watched something called invader sonic (look it up) and I was like “I know that annoyingly evil voice.” Then someone commeted something like LOL funny invader zim parody. I looked up invader zim and now I’m a addict.
damn it … it feeds on noodles realy that just sound funny
Shit, i liked the show, it haves so much fans… Why did they thought it was bad…
———————————–
MY ENGLISH SUCKS
I wish Jhonen or someone could bring it back somehow without it being too changed. I just don’t want Nickelodeon to get their filthy hands on it. IZ was an awesome show and they had to cancel it right in the middle of it’s awesome days.
I hate Nickelodeon and Viacom. no offense but I do.
low ratings…Nick not liking it…over-protective parents…staff quitting…bloody gir (who nobody could even SEE unless they freeze-framed and LOOKED for it. <<*)…to think such an awesome show could be brought down so easily.
i heard that Nick only liked the episodes that took place on Earth. So "Battle of the Planets" wasn't one of their favorites…and neither was "The Trial" (tho it was never finished).
and about the show coming back…: jhonen himself said that if the show DID continue, it still wouldn't be the same. "some people would come back, some wouldn't." it's one of those things you just can't help. you can't blame him. leave JV alone. yes, it would be awesome if CN took it and put it on adult swim, but you have to consider the fact that whoever quit before PROBABLY ISN'T COMING BACK. especially if it was one of the cast members! :O you KNOW everyone will notice if the voices are different. besides, richard horvitz–zim–is busy with "The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy". he might not have TIME to do another show, and he would be the most missed when it comes to voices.
think about it.
people complained when it was still showing.
people complain now that the show is cancelled.
people are going to complain anyway if the show comes back. maybe not for the same reasons as before, but there WILL be complaints.
now to end this rather long comment…
STOP HATING JHONEN. D<
i dont get it.. invader zim shows guts and organs (dark harvest) but nick freaked out over a little blood you can barley see.
other nick cartoons show blood
spongebob * iv seen blood in sponge bob *
icarly * icarly also says words ppl dont want children to say like crap, sucks, turd, ect
and almost ever nick cartoon on rite nao >=U
when i was litle when this show was on i was scard of it cuz of dark harvest and bestfirend cuz he ripped his eyes out but nao i love this show and i wish it wasnt canceled
i wish just out of no were invader zim was on a diffrent network like CN. * CN is kool* and Jhonen finished the episodes and made new ones
i miss this show =(
INVADER ZIM!!! FTW!!!!
when the show was on, i was really young, but i would have loved it considering i watched pokemon all the time and that includes mild violince. anyways i was gaining the skills to draw on the computer when my sister asked me to draw GIR. not knowing what GIR was, she showed me some pictures and resited the ‘to make room for the cupcake’ bit. eventually i saw some clips on youtube and was instantly hooked.
Apparently, they where gonna make Zim get hit by a comic (and dies) in the episode/movie, Invader Dib! O.O
I would off like to see “It feeds on noddles”. I can’t imagen Zim with chopsticks as teeth. xD
NO why did they cancel and ban the show!
Didnt they know that the people who watch
Invader Zim think that theyll be upset?!
Oh well….
I know Invader Zim was awesome. Everyone thought that. I’m sure Nicks excuse: “We canceled it because of low rating” had to be a load of crap excuse. Comeon?! You can get Invader Zim T-shirts, toys, notebooks, shoes…well just about anything! Do you really think a show with such low ratings could aford all this? Millions of people loved this show! Nick took it off cause it was too violent…and don’t be like “No it’s not!” Come on? Zim stole everyones Organs that one time (Dark Harvest) Then he even ripped that one kids eyeballs out (Bestest friend) I dont know about you guys, but this show was on air when I was a little kid, that scared the crap out of me…well…that dosn’t mean it wasn’t funnier than shit. But face it. It was a little too violent. I wouldn’t be suprised if it was the parents for calling and complaining. (sigh)…but still…that show was my altime favorite Cartoon. Inspiring really. Too bad…wish Adault swim would takeit. Then everyone could watch it….
WHY?!? WHY MY PIGGY I LUVEDED U! WHY DID U CANCEL US?!?!WHY?!?!
I am officially pissed at nickelodeon for cancelling Zim
you know what? I heard Jhonen Vasquez (the creator of Invader zim) himself say that even if he could, he still wouldn’t finish the Invader Zim series, because he got board of it, and he wanted to move on to create other things. Then he also said that he didn’t like making kid shows cause it’s a pain in the ass to do…so basiclly…all you fans out there who watch Invader Zim…sorry, but Jhonen Vasquez thinks your a pain in the ass. So just be lucky we all get to enjoy this much of the series, cause the guy’s NEVER going to continue it.
Violent_Jay´s last blog ..The Most Horrible X-Mas Ever
invader dib sounds way cool… and my friend found day of da spookies and read me the script it was sooooo cool. i don’t think it was right for nick to cancell the show. i was about 7 when nick stopped showing it. i remember watching an episode once in a while but i’ve forgotten the show tiil a friend showed me some pics she drew of GIR. now i’m hooked on it! still, they could at least show a few reruns and ask the cast to come back so they can finish the episodes. reruns would be awesome enough for most fans, i’m sure. it’s waaaay better than nothing, right?
Zim’s show was canceled because in “Mortos der Soulstealer” the animators put a picture of GIR covered in blood during the opening. some snobby kid found it and he told his parents, they called Nick, and they had to cancel it. so blame the animators. :[
that, or overreacting parents. or overprotective parents. idk.
racheal, rory, ashton, etc, you guys got it all wrong. they did not get canceled because of bloody gir, or low ratings, etc. it got canceled because of Christian Parenting Today, an organization of Christian parents, that go around being faggots and telling Christian parents not to let their kids watch shows and play games disapproved by them, because they don’t have “Christian values”. in other words, an organization of stuck up christian extremist self supremists, hell-bent on abolishing the first few ammendments, and hell-bent on controlling all forms of media to make sure ABSOLUTELY NOTHING gets out that does not abide by their standards. These people disapproved of Invader Zim, for the aliens, dark theme, and gothic subculture, as these were “against Christian values”(because *insert sarcasm here* shows can have things racially and religiously offensive, but no one can make anything offensive to Christian supremists, as they are so important
). they disagreed with fairly odd parents, for the use of magic was also “against Christian values”. because of this, Nick didn’t think that other parents would agree, and feared that their reputation. So, they purposely moved the schedule all over the place, without avertising the schedule, to PURPOSELY keep people from watching it(can’t watch IZ if you don’t know when its on 
) and then, having bad ratings from viewers not knowing when it was on, they used the ratings(although the low ratings were caused by Nick’s purposeful schedule changes)as an excuse to break their contract with Jhonen. then, knowing how large the fan base was, and seeing the fan base growing rapidly, they decided to be complete assholes and keep the rights to invader zim, disallow anyone(including Jhonen) from buying the rights to it, so that they could make royalty money off of all sold merchandise, such as shirts at hot topic and dvd sets. aka, nickelodeon is run by assholes, and should die. on that note, do NOT buy any invader zim merchandise at hot topic, as all proceeds go to Nick, not Jhonen. dont feed Nick’s hungry wallets with money they do not deserve. also, Jhonen would come back to it. he said he would never work on invader zim again, but he wasnt saying that because he didnt like invader zim, he said that because he didnt like nick. he said that working with that many people(not the IZ team, he meant the millions of people at nick) was a misery, and that he could not trust them (they broke a contract with him, a legal contract. would you trust them?) also, the fact that they had full creative control of his work pissed him off(it would piss you off too if someone else was controlling what you do and do not put in YOUR creation). if, somehow, Jhonen got the full rights for invader zim, and he was able to make it withot limits, and without time limits, and without a bunch of people up his ass and controlling his work, he would most likely go back to it. good luck prying the rights to invader zim from Nick’s greedy ass hands though.
This is the opinion of the commenter and may or may not represent the views of this blog owner. This is an entertainment site, not a politics blog. I, too, would love to see new episodes, but I don’t think they are in our near future. The same thing happens with great graphic novel series. They get a fantastic one going, sales aren’t terrific, someone quits the team, and the series ends too soon. That’s life.
# TOTALL GIR FREAK September 26, 2009 @ 10:53 pm
Just get the point of this: the creator is stupid. It was a cool show. Why Didn’t he just move to CN or something else?Also,nick is stupid. Just because of a bloody gir the show was canceled. Almost every TV show has blood in it. Canceling the show was a total error.
first of all, he couldnt move to CN, HE DIDNT HAVE THE RIGHTS TO THE SHOW. thats why nick sucks, they have the rights and creative control to ALL their shows. and the show wasnt canceled because of bloody gir. look above. know what your talking about before you talk about it, kid.
GOD nick is evil to have canceled this show. I want to cry every time I read this list.
I CRY FOR WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN.
Someone should get the voice cast back together and do this show again. Maybe Cartoon Network; it seems more their style anyway.
Because seriously, the low ratings thing was a total lie, and the bloody GIR…I STILL CAN’T FIND IT. AND I’VE BEEN LOOKING.
Here what i woudve made ID (Invader Dib): Dib goes to Irk, almost conquors it, b ut ZIM comes in and saves Irk, and takes over Earth
You know that Zim is coming back in March?
To nicktoons network. I saw the commercial on the channel.
It’s true.
YAY!
Check me out on youtube
search SuperDuperGir
yay done!
Hey Shira, look at my previous comment. Jhonen and the IZ crew can NOT move the show to CN or they would have a long time ago. Nickelodeon owns all the rights to Invader Zim and all logos, names, copyrights, and trademarks associated with it. And, being the pompous asses they are, refuse to sell the rights to Jhonen, or anyone for that matter. Why? Because they are too busy making money off of merchandise royalties(royalties=when someone sells something not belonging to them, they have to pay the person who owns the rights a percentage of the income. when hot topic sells IZ stuff, they have to pay Nick a percentage of the profits)and filling their wallets. So Jhonen will NEVER move IZ to CN because of Nick being run by greedy people. Also, do not buy any invader zim apparel from hot topic, all your doing is giving Nickelodeon money they DO NOT deserve.
and to super duper gir:
NOT YAY
if you watch the show on Nick, then they will make money from the ads playing during the show. in other words, your giving nick more money that they do not deserve. Until Nick makes a compromise with Jhonen(either rehiring him, which is doubtful as he hates working with that many people, or selling him or giving him the rights to the show) i say you should boycott all Invader Zim merchandise and TV programs. Watch it here or just buy the DVD set(DVD set will give them money, but a LOT less than the money they make from advertising). Im not sure about you guys, but I’m permanently boycotting nick(i have been since 2002) until they set the issue straight. and if i have kids, they will NOT watch it. And i will instruct them to keep their kids from watching it. I will have NOONE in my family watch the putrid filth on that Tv network until they fix what they have done. You should do the same.
If anyone wants to contact me on the matter, or help me in setting up a Nickelodeon boycott, etc., email me at Alfonsethewolfboy@gmail.com
I sure hope they finish and air the unfinished episodes before the Month of march ends! because Nicktoons is showing it for one more month in march there’s even a commercial!
you know what?? i may be 13 i may live in canada but im a huuugggeee fan of IZ i was watching it just last week on nick and i got hooked! after that i started researching it and i found out it was canceled :O i got kinda pissed off like i mean who in the right mind would cancel a show with bazillions of fans (the canceled it cuz they were not getting ratings from the age group it was intended for) Dib and Gir are my favorite characters :] if if they still canceled the show why didnt JV switch to maybe teletoon or YTV yess im
pretty sure teletoon is canadian but hey i dont know! and yes i think YTV is a partner with Nickelodeon but YTV wouldve played it during what i cant remeber its when the play the teen shows. :] thats officially all i have to say ( and i know my grammer and spelling is reaalllyy bad)
SuperDuperGir, your mixing up the facts. the commercial DID state it’s coming back, although it said only for a month. [2 quotes: YOU HAVE ONE MONTH TO BOW DOWN TO ME, ZIM! other: invader zim returns! for ONE MONTH ONLY! This March!]
!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now you wanna know something those retarted assholes at nick r hiding from us? if 1.5million ppl watch the return their BRINGING IT BACK FURVEVER! why on nicktoons? not nick? nick is being assholes(like they always r) and purposely putting it on nicktoons cause not much ppl have tht channel on their TVs. but saying that theres 50,000,000 ppl in America and millions of IZ fans, i think it will return
@ GIR WAS HERE: it was rated Y 7, but it wasn’t exactally ‘kid friendly’ becuase, you are aware Zim stole organs? well, yeah, soo…….,
omg if it comes back in march thats all im doing all mouth even on my birthday cuz that show was that awsome i was like 7 when i frist saw it a 3 am cuz never liked to sleep but i cant wait till march guess wat im more exited about my birthday or inavder zim coming back yea invader zim!!!!!
