    I just saw an ad on Nick this morning (Sunday, April 27th in San Diego) that the new episodes of Avatar will begin in July. Can someone clairfy what is happening exactly, in terms of all the new episodes and the end-of-series sotoryline. I am a confused mom, having to explain it to a very dissappointed 6 year old boy.

    If you don't know The Western Air Temple, and the firebending masters were aired a while ago in Canada and leaked on to the internet, so a lot of people have seen them.

    And a few days ago some blockbusters relased the DVD rental that had both Boiling Rock eps on it, and some people rented them and put them up on the internet.

    You might be able to go rent the DVD at blockbuster now and it will pick up from where the we left off in the U.S. If not the DVD comes out on may 6, so you can bye it for your son, and he can stil see the eps. The final however, doesn't like look it's comming until July.

    Thanks for the information. Frankly, this seems incredibly ill advised on Nick's part to treat this series with such recklessness. I think I will buy the DVD and wait patiently for July. Thanks to everyone who responded, as I now understand what has happened,

    I wouldn't touch the DVD if I were you. That's exactly what they want. Make the fans so impatient that they'll buy ANY dvd with new episodes on it to tide them over. DVD sales increase, they get more money from treating the best show they have AND the fans of it like cr*p. I wouldn't fall for it. Why is it that my 2 favorite shows of all time are on networks that don't know how to run themselves? Avatar stops mid season with NO info on when the next episodes are coming out for MONTHS AND MONTHS and on the other channel, my favorite show keeps taking one, two or even THREE week breaks after every THREE OR FOUR EPISODES! The season is already filmed, so there's no excuse for that.

    Sorry, but I'm going to have to disagree with you. We all should still buy/rent the DVD for the sake of supporting the show. It would also show Nick exactly what kind of a fandom they're dealing with, which I think is the whole reason behind this. Nick probably wants to see how big of a fanbase Avatar has so they can estimate how successfull the live action movies will be. I say we give them their answer, loud and clear.

    Hey guys, i have a question:
    I know that boiling rock part 1 and 2 aired at some convention and i managed to watch both episodes however, there are clips of avatar 317 (really bad quality ones) on youtube and was wondering if 316 and 317 aired as well?

    Actually, Boiling Rock wasn't aired at the convention, it came out on DVD. At the convention they showed the first 7 minutes of 317.

    And no, they showed nothing from 316 except for some pictures of a young Katara and Sokka.

    Oh ya the first seven minutes of 317 is what i saw and assumed that the episode has aired. The problem is the convention uploads by avatar fans are normally terrible quality. Thanks for your help!

    Exactly, if we got Boiling Rock from the convention it would've been camera phone quality. It's DVD quality.

    No problem.

    Now that Nick aired that commercial I doubt they're gonna change their minds again so Avatar isn't gonna air until July. 2 and 1/2 months until Avatar returns.

    Look at the silver sandwich side, at least Nick won't go 'sorry, change of plan, you're waiting until 2010' they have to air it in July now, no later.

    Huh. I was expecting some hugemungus celebration when we got an airdate. I'm sure things will perk up when we get closer to July.

    most definitely. and i think lots of people are still expecting nick to pull something...remember when they advertised "10 straight weeks of Avatar" for the first 10 episodes of season 3? That didnt exactly happen...i think people have just lost trust in nick (and with good reason)
