Avatar: The Last Airbender - Book 3: Fire, Vol. 4 courtesy Nickelodeon & Paramount Home Ent.
Ever since the "Day of the Black Sun" two-part episode of Avatar: The Last Airbender was broadcast on Nickelodeon this past November, fans of the show have waited — often impatiently — for new episodes to air.It didn't help when word spread on the Internet that the following two episodes ("The Western Air Temple" and "The Firebending Masters") had aired in Canada during late December and mid-January, but still hadn't been seen in the U.S.There are supposed to be ten more installments of the popular animated series before it concludes its third(and final) season — and before it heads to movie screens in 2010 as "The Last Airbender", the first in a trilogy of live-action films by M. Night Shyamalan. When can fans expect to see the rest of the story?The powers that be answered this question over the weekend at the New York Comic Con. Saturday night, there was an Avatar panel moderated by Megan Casey of Nickelodeon, and featuring show creators Michael DiMartino and Bry...

In Volume 2, the true mythology behind Aang's ancestry is revealed and the gang prepare for the upcoming eclipse — and its consequences.

Avatar's Aang
Ask any kid and they'll likely be able to tell you all about the incredible animated adventure Avatar: The Last Airbender (premiering tonight, 8:30 pm/ET, Nickelodeon). But the youngsters aren't the only ones watching this fable of a boy trying to save the world: One notable proponent is M. Night Shyamalan, who has signed on to direct three live-action movies based on the adventures of Aang and his friends. Avatar has also found a devoted following among fans of Hayao Miyazaki's work (like Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away) and the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Like Tolkien's epic tale, Avatar was always c

Wow, May 22nd is a great day for TV-on-DVD, with plenty to choose for everyone. We have animated shows suitable for kids (Avatar Season 2, Volume 3; Legend of the Dragon Season 1; Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Season 1, Volume 1; Stuart Little; Hero High), and an animated show NOT for kids (Afro Samurai). There are comedies (Kitchen Confidential: The Complete Series; Scrubs Season 5), dramas (The OC: Season 4; The Magnificent Seven Season 2; Roots), and even a sci-fi series (Kyle XY Season 1). Yup, May 22nd is a good day for TV-on-DVD (view the complete release schedule at TVShowsOnDVD.com).My pick for this week is a show I've loved since I first saw it, Scrubs.
