I don't usually write about this show, but I've been watching it since the beginning. It is a lovely American-made, Japanese inspired cartoon and has some very good messages about responsibility and life. I have really enjoyed watching the last few years...
And tonight we all sat down and watched the end of the show. The kids love this show, even to the point that we own some of the series on DVD so they can watch them, and they were very exciting about the 'last show'.
I won't spoil it, but it was an excellent ending that treated every character with respect and didn't have any single one of them responsible for totally saving the world (except for the Avatar - Aang). They all had to work together...
But I'm going to miss the lame jokes and silliness that the show mixed with serious messages and pulled off so well (what does a cabbage seller use to fix his stand? A cabbage patch!!). I'll still watch the series when an episode comes on, and I really hope they make some room for a spinoff or two.
And, may I just say, it is wonderful to watch a show that has characters, character arcs, and -for once- CONCLUSIONS! The show was only three seasons, but they made it count and they made it special.
Watch it if you have a chance, and have Nick, or maybe you should go out and buy it on DVD.

And the Mall of America now has an Avitar-themed ride. It looks really fun. I am not allowed to go on it, stupid pregnancy. But you should come to MN sometime. Hopefully by then I'll be not in a "risk category" and can have fun doing stupid things again. We'll see.

I'm glad to hear so many other adults love the show! I don't feel alone :-)
Posted by: 10lees at July 22, 2008 09:56 AMYou're right, I'm in MI. We went to MN for two weeks to watch my brother's kids while he was in Africa. We managed to sneak away one night and spent it wandering around the mall.
We watched the last four episodes while there, too. Good stuff! I'll be catching up on the whole three seasons, I think. Especially if I am on bedrest much longer.
