The four nations are: the Earth Kingdom, the Water Tribes, the Fire Nation, and the Air Nomads. Most importantly, this show has many parallels to what is going on in our country and world wide.įor those of you who do not know here is a brief snipet of the Avatar: The Avatar is a powerful bending spirit that is reincarnated into the four nations of the world in a cyclical fashion. However, I like all the characters and the presence they bring to the show. I also confess that I have a favorite character and his name is Uncle Iroh. There are moments when I tear up because the scenes are so touching.

I will say that Avatar: The Last Airbender has great characters, character development, humor, moments of sadness, and plot. I found it interesting that a 30 year man with two master's degrees would be addicted to such a show. The title of this cartoon is ' Avatar: The Last Airbender.' The blockquote above is the opening sequence to the show. It became a ritual for me on my Saturdays off that I dreaded going to work when I was schedule on weekends. The next Saturday I was scheduled off work and I made sure to get up on time to watch the same cartoon. To my delight, another episode was broadcast and I was in heaven. After watching that first episode, I wanted to see more of the cartoon. I found it interesting for the animation of the cartoon reminded me of the cartoons of the 1980's such as Transformers and G.I. I was flipping channels early on that Saturday and I stumbled upon a cartoon on Nick. About a year ago, I started watching a cartoon on Nickolodeon on Saturday mornings.
