It's like almost every cartoon out there has a petition thing, haha, I wouldn't sign the LSTS one I'm talking more than just petitions. That's the tip of the iceberg. This would need mass write-in days, call-ins, etc. That's how the KP fans got their voices heard. there you go, it wasn't just petitions, as I said, they mean next to nothing to disney.

The best way to get DVDs is, like RedRage said, buy stuff. Buy TAB on DVD if you don't already own it (and from a legitimate site or store, not eBay). Buy it for your 3-year-old cousin too. Leave positive reviews on Amazon.com and other Internet sales sites to get more people interested in it. Buy the Buzz Lightyear toys and books they sell at Walmart and the Disney store.
Petitions and letters don't do anything. There was a rally in NYC for one show I used to watch and it did absolutely nothing. Their ears are in their wallets.

Again, Invader Zim. HUGELY popular show, fans have tried EVERYTHING to get it back, IT'S NOT BACK. (A decision I happen to support, actually. The show was beginning to go downhill, in my opinion. There were a lot of issues with the production...)

I'm not saying all we need is a petition, I'm saying an organized fan movement can get the attention of the peeps at Disney.

And I'm saying: Kim Possible had that movement right after it ended, correct? It's been seven years.
Also, I'm sure Nickelodeon would have done IZ without Jhonen if it wanted to badly enough. e_e

What Buzz Lightyear of Star Command merchandise is out there to buy? Or just buy plain ol' just Buzz Lightyear stuff?

Looks like they put up Dirty Work now on DXD. I think they're testing it, so I suggest the best we can do for now in that sense is to bombard that show with hits (for those of us with access, I guess)

Is that a typo for DVD, or do you mean it's online right now? (where exactly? an official Disney site?)

They've been trying to bring Invader Zim back with petitions since 2002. It didn't work and IZ has an obscenely large fanbase. It didn't completely do nothing. Like, less than two years later, they put it out on DVD, and then Merchendice followed. It used to be impossible to get Invader Zim ANYTHING, really. Now you can find it in the first Hot Topic you walk into. I'm sure that the fanbase had some influence on it, and the Nick execs didn't just sit up in bed one day and go "Remember that show from 3 years ago with the little green guy and the insane robot that we cancelled because of censorship issues? Let's bring it back for no apparent reason.". Yes, I'm quite aware the odds aren't in our favor, yes, I'm quite aware of the fact that Disney could give less of a crap about us and most likely won't adhere to our wishes, however, I'm going to be uncharacteristically optimistic and hope that BLoSC does get released on DVD and put in a box set, or at the very least, a "Best of" compilation, (as Nick does that sometimes, as does Disney).
