'Tis the season for DOOOM!! CBS All Access, the soon-to-be rebranded streaming service from ViacomCBS, today added all 27 episodes (two seasons) of Nickelodeon's cult-animated series Invader ZIM!
Created by indie comics artist Jhonen Vasquez, Invader Zim tells the story of extraterrestrial outcast Zim, from the planet Irk, who reams of greatness. Unfortunately, though, he's hopelessly inept as a space invader. Desperate to be rid of the annoying Zim, his planet's leaders, the Almighty Tallest, send him on a mission to infiltrate Earth, providing him with leftover, cobbled-together equipment, including his malfunctioning - yet extremely faithful - robot, GIR. To their consternation, Zim succeeds in setting up a base on Earth and infiltrating human culture, posing as a human child as he plots the planet's downfall. Only Zim's archnemesis, Dib, recognizes that Zim is an alien, and of course, nobody believes Dib's claims.
Unfortunately, the Invader ZIM movie Enter the Florpus wasn't included in today's addition of the series. However, the movie is still available to stream on Netflix.
Invader ZIM joins other beloved Nickelodeon favorites on CBS All Access, including Hey Arnold!, Are You Afraid of the Dark?, CatDog, Rugrats, Kenan & Kel, Rocket Power, SpongeBob SquarePants, The Angry Beavers, All That, Rocko's Modern Life, The Wild Thornberrys, AAAHH!!! Real Monsters, The Ren & Stimpy Show, Doug, Clarissa Explains It All, and the '80s Nickelodeon series Danger Mouse!
Additionally, CBS All Access also today added all 60 episodes (across three seasons) of Crashletes, including the remaining 10 episodes that are still to air on TV, and Fanboy & Chum Chum (all 52 episodes across two seasons)!
Sports bloopers have been a TV staple for decades, but Crashletes takes the concept to a new level. The show is dedicated to the majority of athletes who play their sports for fun despite knowing they'll never become professionals. They give it their all but -- as Crashletes proves -- don't always succeed in their ventures. Hosting the kid-friendly show are comics Stevie Nelson, whose favorite fail videos feature animals, and Brandon Broady, who once had his own Crashletes moment when the head of his golf club came off after he missed the ball. The hosts present clips and bloopers featuring amateur athletes, wannabe athletes and even animal athletes. New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski served as a co-host for the show's first two seasons.
Fanboy and Chum Chum are fans of all things science fiction and fantasy, and wear wild superhero costumes with their underwear on the outside. Their lives are filled with adventure, from Fanboy's teacher turning into a zombie to an ice monster operating the Frosty Freezy Freeze machine. Their pal Kyle usually tags along on their escapades. Kyle is a real wizard, but Fanboy and Chum Chum are oblivious to his mystical powers, although they live in a world of fantasy.
The addition of Invader ZIM and Crashletes to CBS All Access comes as ViacomCBS is bulking up the service with content from its portfolio of brands ahead of the it's relaunch as Paramount+ early next year.
