    No, it's probably because of the style of the animation of the show, and the fact that it takes almost forever to make one episode. Also, avatar probably has a larger staff than other shows do, but who knows? I'll stick with the style of the show, and the length of making an episode, that makes sense.

    If it took 9 (or 11) months to make an episode, it would take years to make a season, let alone 3!
