My dad thinks Im weird when I watch that show and he thinks Aang`s head got road over by a car XD
and My mom only watched one episode, she thought Aang was a bear and Sokka was a bald wolf...(not on purpose..) o.O
and my older brother thinks its kinda funny but he watches it sometimes. My oldest brother, he HATES the show so much, no comment about that..and my friend is a huge fan for the show and supports Toph/Sokka and Zuko/Katara like me ^^

how about you?

My parents don't pay attention to Avatar. My brother loves this show. But both my brother and dad love Naruto more. My dad was watching a Naruto marathon with my brother once.

My parents think that it is a great show with some decent morals to it. They try to follow the storyline occasionally.

My whole family loves the show: me, hubby, son & daughter.?? We just got back from Lone Star for lunch and funny thing is, we were discussing the "what ifs" on the finale episode.?? My sisters think me & hubby are weird (one of our 1st dates was to see Transformers the movies in theaters).
But I have made avatar fans, particularly my kids karate instructors... they are now watching the episode and both were surprised that there was such an intense show on Nick.... I think if more adults knew about the storyline, there would be even more viewers than there is now.

My parents don't really know about it, but this one time I was watching Tales of Ba Sing Sai downstairs (it was the newest ep.) and my parents saw some of it. My dad was amazed when Zuko firebended those lanterns. He was also wondering why Zuko was so weird on his date.

That is so entirely sad that your parents either don't care for it or think it's just another cartoon you watch. My husband and I and our kids are like Avatar-groupies! We absolutely LOVE Avatar! And we're really OLD! LOL
I agree with PN that if more adults saw it from the beginning or took the time to really watch they would??be avid fans??too.
If you go on Amazon.com and read the reviews written about Avatar DVDs you will find sooooooo many adults who start their review with the words, "...our kids got us??hooked..." or "...I sat down and watched Avatar with my kids and haven't been able to stop..."
What a shame to miss out on such an incredible piece??of animated artwork! It's the best!
Long Live Avatar! HA-ZAH!

...My parents say they wish Avatar never came on....Not sure why.... **Hides the several Avatar shrine in the closet** Not a clue...
My friend Hanna said I should try going to therapy because "You really need to get off that show"~Her exact words to me.

Well, my-guy-friend-who-is-as-good-as-a-twin-brother loves Avatar, but not as much as me. My best friend who I refuse to let out of my sight rolls her eyes, she says I behave like a Star Wars superfan. My dad understand my obsession for he's a sports junkie (probably where my fangirlism came from), my mother ignores it, my stepdad doesn't care except for it's "not alchohol, smoking, or drugs." My cousin finds it very interesting but doesn't have the time or cable to watch Avatar. When I babysit her children Avatar is the only program we watch together. That's my circle's views on Avatar.

~lights candles in Eyes_Only61646's Avatar shrine and meditates~

There are lots of things in this life to be negatively influenced by and Avatar is NOT one of them. It's a shame that parents can't see that. Perhaps you should offer her parallels to the Avatar storyline and how it teaches the fundamentals of Buddhism or shows how kids can resolve moral dilemmas with an inner strength they didn't know they had.

Katara and Sokka have lost their mother to war. How many kids today have lost one of their parents to America's current War in Iraq? The themes discussed in Avatar are very relevant to our lives today.

My little sister loves it and watches it with me. My two aunts think Avatar is a good show from what I've told them about it. My parents and older sister don't really care.
At school, 3 of my friends love Avatar, just like me!

The only person I know who also likes the show is my sister. Everyone else in my family or my friends would care less.

My friends make fun of me for watching the show.?? When I took my videos to work to let a friend borrow them for her children to watch, my friends all made fun of me each time I brought one to loan.?? I couldn't even pass off the idea that they were my children's because they know me so well by other shows I watch.
I guess maybe they are not as cool as I am and it is jealousy showing through them.?? LOL

Im trying so hard to get my brother to watch it. I say stuff like: "people that dont watch Avatar have no lives!" He likes shows like 24 and prison break. 24 is okay. Prison Break is awesome!

He dosent like Avatar because they dont swear and kill people....
