    I miss that show too, but at least it still airs. Avatar never aired on Nick like at all.

    Why? Because next week or so the DVD comes out. They couldn't air each episode in successive weeks. The whole season would be out on DVD and they'd STILL be airings episodes.

    They did the same thing with Danny Phantom. But they advertised this more.

    I'm sure they're not trying to get rid of it though.

    Nick knows very well what is their best and what is not. Avatar is its best. They can't allow it to end, but they have no choice. They can't allow their episodes to come out after the DVD, because no one would watch them (they'd all buy the DVD).

    I believe i will stay with these forums until 7:50. Then i will go to my tv...and await for the grand finale of avatar.

    Nick isn't in control of that. Paramount is and Paramount isn't fickle with promised dates and events like Nick is. They decided LONG ago that they'd release the DVD around this time. Nick was supposed to have finished airing the 3rd season a few months ago. Paramount basically said, "Not our problem you guys d***ed around too much."
