I'm just wondering what those shows are about...

And why hasn't Rejected aired, or become a series, I heard that it was because the creator "didn't get it" But what deos that mean? :p

And I remember reading something about The Groovieians at Nickdisk saying that it was Zim related or something...but what was it about?

And what is The Brothers Grunt all about, I hear so much hype about it...

Rejected was never meant to become a series. If you saw it, you would understand why it only works as a special. And it was pulled because a high-up CN executive didn't like it, and the "Sweet Jesus" sign was given as a reason, until we found out that wasn't the reason at all.

The Groovenians was another special, to me it seemed almost like a rejected Jetsons script, except worse. It really didn't fit on AS at all, and aired a few months later on Cartoon Cartoon Fridays. It has nothing to do with Zim, I don't know who told you that, but they were wrong.

The plot involves post-modern satirization of commercials using crudely drawn stick figures. Hopefully now that Lazzo is in charge, it can air again.

Hmm, I hope so. Rejected is hilarious, and it'd be excellent to see it airing on Adult Swim someday.

Actually, one of Zim's Storyboardist (not sure of the name) had some job involved in the Groovenians (which is essintaly a pair of alien artists who move out of their boring planet and to Groovernia, a hip party planet where they move in with some crazy roommates) not that it helped to stop the trainwreck it was.

Yeah, and if you'd seen the Grooveians (aired in December, right?), you'll understand that it was a show for children with ADD.

I remember there being two threads: One for the creator to look at, which everyone had to be "nice" in, and then one for reviewing it, where everybody spilled their guts and say how terrible it was...
