The only reason I started watching Avatar was simply because I had to babysit my six year old sister that night and she was so set on watching this new show. Well I was hooked. I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm 19 and throughly enjoy the show. In fact all my siblings enjoy the show too, ranging in ages 20 all the way down to six. We would watch new episodes when we were all together on Fridays and stuff like that, and joke around in the pool about how we could water-bend. But this show provides deep characters with backgrounds, faults, and dreams, a rarity in Nick shows. It sorta reminds me of old school Nick. And trust me, i am not a big fan of anime, but I hardly notice it with this show. i find myself so drawn into the characters and the plots, wishing and hoping for the characters to succeed as I do in a show like Grey's Anatomy. And this show teaches so much in terms of life lessons, that one race isn't better than the other, that even the smallest person can make a difference. And personally Prince Zuko is hot. Yes I do realize he is a cartoon character, but he is hot.
