    This is why it's such a d@mn good show. 6 years and it still makes it, coming out #1 for Nickelodeon and the top 3 for animation and top 10 for Tv.com.

    GIVE RESPECT TO THE CREATORS!! DON'T GIVE ON ATLA AND KEEP IT ALIVE!!

    Yeah, after seeing this article....I'm thinking even more they will at least renew it for a 4th season.

    *Agrees* Yeah, I actually didn't think there would be a forth season, but after this......I'm not sure.

    Nah, Avatar will do the unexpected and come out with 5 in a half seasons. lol
    5 and a half? How do you make a half-a-season? LOL

    You don't.

    They need to drop Songebob and the g@y FOP and get Avatar to be their title now. No more Sponedude and Timmy, we need Aang and the rest of the squad to be the cover of Nickelodeon.

    You know, like movies and video games, and musicians and other TV shows there can be quite a long span of time when you are trying to get your idea heard by a producer, and reworking the idea of the show to fit what they want. I could really see Nick turning down the idea of Avatar a few times before they finnaly picked it up for a run.

    ok calm down people and take a breath. first of all i agree 100% that Mr. Meaty (wow i dont even like typing it) should never have even been created, it gives nick a bad name (luckily Avatar makes up for it) BUT if Spongebob and Jimmy are canceled then i would have nothing to entertain me before Avatar comes on, Drake and Josh just doesnt cut it for me, besides??sorry to say??Nick actually has to have more then one show,??wait.....ohhhh you said Timmy....well...yeah down with Timmy too why not

    Well, six years?! I was still in Pokemon/Digimon land with Malcolm in the Middle growing on me as I'm still bawling about Seinfeld's "death" and listening to Limp Bizkit's CD and singing the f-word many times as a freshman/sophomore. I'm ever so glad that Nick kept the idea and went ahead and did Avatar.

    A six-year road to finally airing Avatar?!?

    Well I think that earns Avatar at least another SIX YEARS OF SEASONS!!!

    I like what other posters have said in this thread. We like SpongeBob and all??too but I think it's time for Avatar to reign supreme at Nickelodeon. They've earned it fair and square.

    I am sooooo sick of Avatar being treated like the red-headed stepchild of the Nick animated family when really it's the very best thing airing on Nickelodeon right now and if Nick executives are too dim-witted to see that well then they are truly??beyond help.

    Mr. 'Deadbeat'-ie is the absolute worst. Why suck up valuable Nick airtime with worthless crap like that?

    Air MORE AVATAR!

    Avatar took six years to get onto Nick. I'm assuming (what with the well thought out story lines and how in-depth the characters are) that Spongebob must've taken about six minutes. I'd rather wait six years (well, preferably not that long) for a great show than watch another Spongebob-type show right now.
    (I'm coming down pretty hard on Spongebob, but in truth the show can be??a little bit??funny at times)

    I actually like FOP (*dodges pitchfork*) but Avatar is easily the best thing on Nick

    Well....I just came upon some astonishing information. First off, if you're standing up, please sit down (but who the heck is standing while on the computer??). Then take a deep breath.....

    Ok....the following quote comes from an article which can be found here:

    "Ms. Zarghami cites Nickelodeon???s willingness to invest in shows for the
    long term as something that sets it apart from rivals. As an example,
    she points to ???Avatar: The Last Airbender,??? an anime-inspired cartoon
    that took six years to go from idea to a completed first episode, much
    longer than normal. Last season it was the eighth-highest rated
    animated children???s series, according to Nielsen."

    The thing that obviously stands out is the SIX YEARS! Six years to go from an idea to a series...that is amazing. If you don't have respect for Nickelodeon now, I don't know what to tell you...they stuck with this thing for SIX YEARS! They could have easily stopped production and said "screw you" to the creators. But they didn't. It's amazing to find this out.

    **Bows down in respect for Nickolodeon on their dedication.**

    That is outstanding.?? Thanks for the info.

    Yeah...and for those of you hoping Spongebob dies, it just got renewed for a 13-episode 6th season for 2008, so that is the soonest that show will be off the network! They'll probably give it a full season eventually.

    FOP, as well as DP, are gone because "the humor is different than other Nick shows". I believe I read this on the DP forum, someone in Netherlands sent a letter to their local Nick and they said the USA thought the humor was different so that's why it's being cancelled....

    ...that's just hogwash. Humor is humor.

    I don't know why you all hate Spongebob. He's the flag ship of Nick and it will remain that way for many years to come.

    And I'm going on record to say that I love Spongebob it's a great show!

    OK, I admit it, I enjoy Spongebob too, although most of my favorite episodes come from the first couple of seasons.?? And sorry kids, but you have to be a teacher like me to TRULY and FULLY get the humor in Mrs. Puff!

    Plus I have Spongebob to thank for my Avatar addiction.?? My son used to love watching Spongebob on Fridays, and I would usually just keep the TV on.
