Nick obliterates ZIM once and for all

ZIM:
"Oh maaaaaaan. . .
Just in from the rec.arts.animation Usenet Newsgroup
Invader Zim just had its production shut down. Several unfinished
episodes, including the long awaited Christmas special will never be
completed, much less shown. The staff, who were desperately trying to
get as much finished as they coud, were given 24 hours to vacate the
studio. . .
:-(
Aaaaaaauuugh!!"
This is just evidence that Nick is going down more and more each and
everyday, ala Disney. This keeps up and, eventually, the network will
undergo a wild revolution, including the obliviation of the network.

Actually, it's partly my fault that I said they were given 24 hours to
leave -- "Sweet Zombie Jesus", who has worked for the show, corrected me:

The thread, "Is ZIM Gone Forever", said nothing about Nick pulling the
plug on the Chrsitmas episode -- to my recollection, it's still
scheduled, though Nick can do practically anything they want.

Xmas was put "back into production" soon after the cancellation, and a few
artists stayed around for another month or so to do it. It's in post
production right now.

Well, if it's any consolation to you, the Butt Ugly Martians seem to
be gone too. All that's left of SLAM is two hours of Speed Racer.

I think that's only a one-time thing -- next Sunday (10/6).
That is, unless Nick was foolhardy enough to present a surprise Speed Racer marathon today (9/29).

No - they showed the Invader Zim episode "Gir Goes Crazy and Stuff /
Dib's Wonderful Life of Doom" at 4:30, and while I didn't actually see
Robot Wars, they did show a commercial for today's show.
There will be a two-hour Speed Racer marathon next week, followed by a
Sabrina TV-movie (I assume that it's the live-action version, as they
don't call it "Sabrina the Animated Series"), which is also airing at
12:30 (I assume this is the first of their Sunday movies).

With DIC handling the movies, I think it's the animated version, even though they didn't say it was the
animated series (which was a DIC production). Viacom Productions produced the live-action series.

part of the weekday afternoon lineup on the Disney Channel,
but I guess there is no real concern from Nick or Disney. I
do (or did) see Disney Channel promos featuring Sabrina the
Animated Series during my local cable breaks on Nick, but
I'm not sure how widespread they are in general. On the two
cable systems that I watch regularly, Nick's local cable
breaks are already amusing because of the number of CN ads
that show up.

Any word on when it's gonna air? And are they gonna air any more new
episodes after "Hobo 13" and "Walk for You Life"?

Well, based on Nickelodeon's past record, all of its shows' Christmas
episodes are usually shown only in December.

I'm still waiting for Nick to air the episodes of "Hey Arnold!" and
"CatDog" they've been sitting on for years...

I wonder how they're going to handle the fact that they've got two
"Rugrats" Christmas episodes (one of which doesn't have Dil and Kimi)

No idea, but it would make sense to show the last 7 episodes (7 1/2 if you
count Walk, which hasn't aired in the US) before Xmas, as the series ends w/
the Xmas ep.
