    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.


    no way... thats incredible but in the end Avatar did pay off we lov lov lov lov lov lov lov lov lov this show

    I have many things to say as always

    1. How the hell long can you think about??one 3 season show before actually putting it on the air? Maybe there was controversy about putting it on?

    2.I like spongebob. Nickelodean has been made famous because of The Sponge. Without it, Nick would not be as respected as it is today. I think it will stay on the air for many years to come and go down in cartoon history.

    3.How is the humor different if FOP and Danny phantom?

    4. MR.MEATY HAD BETTER GO ****ING DIE, IT IS THE WORST THING TH HIT THE SCREEN SCINCE THAT WEIRD SHOW ABOUT THE PLANES??THAT ALWAYS TALKED??THAT LITTLE KIDS WERE ALWAYS EXPECTING TO CRASH, WELL MAYBE NOT ALL LITTLE KIDS BUT AT LEAST MY LITTLE BRO. AND SOUTH PARK, OMFG DONT GET ME ****ING STARTED ON THAT SHOW, WITH THEIR ANNOYING LITTLE VOICES, AND ABSOULUTLY RETERDED HUMOR. FAMILY GUY IS SO MUCH BETTER!!!!!!!!! LIKE ONE TIME THEY WERE MAKING FUN OF STEPHEN KING AND IT JUST HAD ME LAUGHING SO HARD MY ROOT BEER WAS FLYING EVERYWHERE AND...AND....

    *pant**pant* *cough* anyway...you get the point...

    they will probably loose one million viewers or something. If they do stop at the finale of season 3, we should do a petition.

    Wow. Learning that they actually stuck with it so long makes me actually feel a little calmer about it being so long in between now and the next season. *cough*

    Well it DOES, okay?

    Most of those 6 years were from the idle thoughts of doing it. They probably never actually started rough animated work on it until the 3rd year.

    As I said before, about 3 of those years must have been asking around for funding, and trying to get your idea heard. Then in the 4th year if they where green lighted the script was fleshed out and most of the concept art was done. Then in the 5th year production started, and was finished in the 6th year.
