    The strike doesn't effect avatar.
    In the area of animated films and television, the WGA strike affects writers employed on four series: The Simpsons, King of the Hill, Family Guy and American Dad. WGA members writing on these shows, or WGA members writing for companies not signed to any union contract, may be subject to WGA discipline if they refuse the WGA's rules or orders not to work. Apart from the three shows listed above, all union animation writing is under the jurisdiction of the Animation Guild. It is the position of the Animation Guild, and the IATSE, that writers cannot be legally disciplined by the WGA for working under the Animation Guild's jurisdiction.

    and lets not forget, the creators have already mentioned that the season has already been written.

    The Avatar Writers are probably part of the Animation Guild, heres a quote from the Animation Guild Website

    "In the area of animated films and television, the WGA strike affects writers employed on four series: The Simpsons, King of the Hill, Family Guy and American Dad.

    even if the avatar writers were striking it wouldn't make a difference, all of the episodes are finished, if nick wanted, they could play all the remaining 8 episodes now.

    It's funny how Nick still has the power to piss me off with the episode gaps and whatnot. I've been hearing talk of a possible avatar spin-off. With all the episode gaps and have to deal with AWS they got me hoping that they will leave a huge gap (at least a yr or so) to give both themselves and the creators ample time (though Nick isn't known to be sensible in that way) for it. Either that or I hope the spin-off sucks so much that I won't be able to concern myself with the show. However, I hope it doesn't come to the latter.

    YTV doesn't seem to air hour long episode the same week at least they didn't for DoBS. Also April the fourth is my birthday.

    Mos' def. (I totally agree with above poster!) well, the poster above him/her.

    But in order to air all of the "finished eps", they have to make sure they have them back from Korea.

    Cuz that's where they get them animated.

    I found something interesting; since they went back to s1 after finishing s2 in the 6-7 avatar block on nicktoons, I've added up the days to see when 312 would air if they move onto s3 after s2 this time. It actually lands on Friday, Feb 8th, so that means they would play 311 and 312 that night. Although it's highly doubtful, just something to take into consideration.

    nictoons network or nickeldeon? a lot of people don't get nicktoons network...

    why wait till april when Ytv is showing new episodes right now


    there has not been any official info that YTV will air 314 and 315 anytime soon, no ads in that network that says at least "Friday, new avatar", they might air 314 and 315 long before NICK USA, maybe early or mid March


    I hate that.

    maybe, if they split both DOBS and TBR, TBR part 1 would be April 11

    March? That's like... 5 months from the last episode? Or 4? Either way, TOO LONG!

    Damn Nick. Can anyone tell me why YTV is airing these episodes, but Nick sees fit to screw us?
