Jake here, with a bunch of news to report. For one,Newsarama hasa review of the Book 3, Volume 3 DVD. Note: Does contain spoilers on episode 312-315. Here is a snippet from one of the responses, though, that I found insightful: "You know it's funny how people act like this is a new thing, but Nick has done this A LOT of time to other shows...best I can say is All Grown Up, the sequel series to Rugrats, the held off the last half dozen of episodes they had made for like YEARS and when they FINALLY aird them, they were at 6:30 AM! for a few weeks. And they STILL have a few unaired eps to show
Also i think another reason behind this is because they fear how Avatar's outshinned Spongebob to the point where Avatar ENDED Squarepants consecutive winning of "Best animated series" Kids Choice award, I mean look back at it, theyu reduced it to one of hte "Ticker Tape" reveals, they didn't even bother to give it a live annoucement! Spongebob IS loosing momentum and I think they wan tto continue the trend that they feel,m that cartoons are for KIDS! And Avatar hardly does that! I mean it's this reasaon, rumors state, that lead to the demise of Danny Phantom, because the audience watching it were TEENS and COLLEGE students! NOT Kids! So, yeah that COULD be a reason if you ask me" Next, we have some news on at least one member of the Avatar staff's future. Head Writer Aaron Ehasz is reportedly teaming up with "The SImpsons'" executive producers Bill Oakley and Josh Weinstein on a new Nickelodeon cartoon: "It’s also reported that Oakely and Weinstein are collaborating with Avatar: The Last Airbender writer and co-exec producer Aaron Ehasz on an animated Nickelodeon project titled Worst Class Ever. The proposed series takes place at a middle school and will feature comedian Patton Oswald (Ratatouille) in the lead voice role. Oakley and Weinstein will also provide voices, and characters were designed by Oakley." One last thing, IGN is doing an Avatar-in-review-type thing and is reviewing each of the episodes, once a week. Their latest review is of "The Fortuneteller" and interestingly enough, the reviewer gave it lower marks than "The Great Divide." O_o EDIT: The latest review is actually for "The Deserter." Thanks for Ninja Zutara in chat for these links!
