    thank god for small miarcles! it seems that nickelodeon did have our best interests at heart. many of us have been sufferers of AWS. this is a sever addiction that results in many harmfull symptoms, such as; dangerously high adrenaline rush at the mention of potentiall avatar plots/spoilers, foaming mouth at the mention of foaming mouth guy, pedophilia at the mention of potential avatar romantic life, irratable bowls at the mention of yet anouther new spongebob eposode, lack of sleep/ADD@work from constant checking of avatarspirit.net for new info, plus many many more.

    realizing a potential lawsuit of grave porportions nickelodeon wisely gave up on this toxic, malignant, form of entertainment. this blight on our existance that was AVATAR has been severed cold torkey from our eyes. sure it was hard at first. i tihnk i threw up a couple of times when i saw/heard portions of drake bell/that josh guy who was fat/iCarley actress girl's acting talent. but it was all for the best!! I AM CURED!! no longer will i sit enjoying myself with new episodes of avatar. OR enjoying the excitement of the anticipation of a new episode only a few short days away. OR the excitement of talking to my fellow avatards about crazy esoteric theories. OR the excitement of seeing amazing animation of a fantasticle new world whose detail and inventiveness has raised the bar for all animated shows, telling them not to scrap the lowest common denominator of animation.

    this is a great new feeling. i suddenly have more time to enjoy other shows like reruns of west wing or veronica mars or dragonball. i'm free at last!! thank you nickelodeon!!! thank you so much!!

    I believe what he/she is saying is... "I'm no longer going to follow the show, wait for new episodes, spoilers, etc."

    you could have just tried my home remedy: bleach.

    edit: i just realized that could be interpreted in a way that might lead to a potential lawsuit.

    DISCLAIMER: DO NOT DRINK BLEACH.

    no i'm not on meds. yes it was EXTREMLY sarcastic. i will watch the show but actually no longer care. i was trying to say that i was "cured" of my fandom for the show. i like the creators of the show and will follow any future projects but the love for this show is kinda gone. i'm eager for new episodes to see how everything ends but i'm not gonna go overboard like i used to. i used to tout this show as a tipping point for american animation and what can be accomplished. cartoon shows don't have to be poorly drawn or porrly acted or poorly concieved. cartoons can be entertaining and be intellegent. but the excitment for the show has been squashed. what i wrote was a sarcastic lament. i was tryign to see if anyone else feels the same way and would 'get' what i'm takling about. i was trying to see if anyone is sick of the way the show has been handled. even sick of the trailers. yes i was disgusted by the trailers. not the content but the fact that there had to be one. tv shows don't really need trailers. you have allusions in the context of the show, commercials, even a 'next time' segment at the end. putting out trailers, having something at comic con all just scream at pointless pandering and extenending of deadlines. they are trying to prolong the agony and release snipets inorder to drum up attention for the show. problem is that it is a correcting factor for the long abscenses. yes there are periods of time required to make episodes but how that deadtime is handled is crucial. i've seen nick, cartono network, and comedy central (not including the non-cartoons) misshandle the time and then cancel it. i am frustrated because i've seen this before. i've seen them assume that the viewership and the fans will always be there. i was frustrated by it and wondered if anyone else was too. i guess not.
