Excellent in almost every shape and form
It's no wonder that this show won an Emmy. Avatar: The Last Airbender is the most detailed, intellegant, and artistic show I've ever come across. All of the characters have a complex personality, the works of the Avatar obviously had a lot of thought and creativity, the fighting styles are based on real ones, and it has humar! I see really no reason as to why NOT to show this to your child. It teaches morals as well, which is important, yet they don't nag about it, which makes it a great show. Even though a majority of the show contains fighting, it's at a respectful tone, and people are only occasionally hurt. Yes, deaths do accure, but usually off screen, or meantioned in the past. For sexual refrenses, there is a few kissing scenes, and that's it. This show even tells how even the most 'evil' of characters, can turn out to be only misguided. And there are almost ALWAYS second chances on the show, as well as mercy and forgivness, and this is something our world really needs to realize and understand, especially the young ones, who are hearing a lot of nasty things in the media.

Best. Series. Ever.
This show is just. plain. awesome. The story is deep and clever, they thought the whole thing through, it shows all of the charaters side of the story. The bending is modeled by real marshal arts! The violence isn't very bad at all, but its exciting (not in a bad way) There is a part where they show 13 year old Zuko about to be burned by his father, and it turns to the audience (his sister, uncle Iroh, and Zhao) as he screams. You can understand the characters and relate to them. It shows the 'villans' have their reasons, and are truely just lost, and it shows the 'lucky' aren't that lucky after all. 12 year old Aang is really respectful, peaceful, but nervious to face his destany, but he does it for the great or good for the world. Katara is a good motherly figure for a 14 year old, she is very smart though sometimes her temper and stubborness gets in the way. Sokka is the jokster (sometimes without meaning to be) And as the oldest of the group (15) he is the navigater and planner. Toph is a blind 12 year old earthbender who's parents were overbaring. It shows shes much tougher than her parents and most others would think, in fact she's basicly the toughest of the group. Zuko is a troubled 16 year old prince of the fire nation, first made out to be the 'bad guy' when he is really just doing what is father told him to do (his father isn't the 'best' father out there, so to speak) and on his quest to find the Avatar, his uncle Iroh (the tea loving wiseman that we love) guides him. His younger sister Azula is infact one of the most evil characters on there, though it shows her instory as well, showing she isn't as lucky and perfect as shes made out to be. Even though she's favored by her father. So, as I'm saying, the creaters thought everything through. And what's rare is, THEY ACTUALLY FINISHED THE SERIES.

Easily one of the best shows Nick has ever put out.
Sadly, I haven't watched this show in years, so I don't remember all the major plot points. Aang, the protagonist in our story, is the last of the airbenders. He is discovered frozen in ice by siblings Katara and Sokka of the Southern water tribe, and they soon after realize he is the last airbender, and therefore the last person to become the peacekeeper of their land- The Avatar. As they journey across the land to teach Aang the 4(?) elements, they meet up with benders of their respective elements, and all team up and travel together.
Yes, there are fighting scenes, the main antagonist through most of the series if a member of the fire tribe- Prince Zukko. The elements are martial arts are woven together so cleanly, and is a different and interesting fighting style.
Sex stuff is of not much concern, the only kiss I can remember was in the final episode.
This show is great. It is a must watch. You can access episodes via Youtube, Mega Video, or the Nicktoons channel.

Great show
I LOVE Avatar. Me and cousins are obsessed with it. When we were young, we used to pretend we were airbenders. This show is funny, fun-filled and epic.

One of the few good shows on Nickelodeon~
Another great show on Nickelodeon that even older teens like. It may have had humor that wouldn't be offensive to younger viewers, but it was still funny. It had a great plot, great characters, and some great action scenes. The comedy didn't interfere with the action either. I don't remember any blood, but a few characters died. There wasn't any language and no sex; there was romance, but it was very clean and healthy. Great show for kids and teens.

Can't wait till the movie!
It was great and I can't wait for the movie!
However, the pairings/couples were a bit confusing and hard to understand.
Frustrating.
Violence is mild, just scars basically.

I LOVE THIS SHOW!! Even my mom likes it. There are very good role models and positive messages. As the series goes on there is more kissing and other romanticness (Aang and Katara kiss a few times and Zoku is seen kissing Mai rather frequently, there are some scenes where Mai and Zuko are laying on a couch cuddling, girls wear bikinis in the water, talk of boys and dating) but it's all very tame. There are some fighting scenes but keep in mind that it is a cartoon about martial arts. The Gaang are chased by people who want to capture them; including Zuko who until the final season, wants to capture Aang.
Overall I give this cartoon an 100 out of 10!!

It`s Awsome!
I love this show. It`s funny yet thoughtful with great action scenes. The characters are just complex enough to keep interest but not bore. It`s a great show! I've already gone through the entire series and will continue to watch episodes.

The best kids show ever.
I don't understand why ANYONE could say that it has violence OR sex, or ANY other thing that's inapropriate for kids in it. It's a TOTALLY appropriate show that DOES have some mild cartoon violence in it, but it's not like you're watching Friday the 13th, and it has some kissing in it, but no REAL sexual content. And really, product placement? It takes place THOUSANDS of years ago and it's not really plausible that there could be any product names in it. It has no cursing or drugs. I'll tell you that these people are CRAZY or don't know how to use this site. It's totally kid appropriate and a funny, entertaining show.

Best Cartoon Ever.
In an age when cartoons seem to becoming steadily dumber and shallower, (look on Nickelodeon and you'll see,) Avatar The Last Airbender stands out as a masterpiece. It features a very strong story, an engrossing, lovingly detailed world, and some of the best and most memorable characters I have ever seen. Though there is plenty of violence it is of the fantasy variety and usually involves the characters interacting with the four elements, and at my count, exactly one person has an onscreen death, and its bloodless. Some scenes involving the bigger fire nation war machines and Koh, the face stealing spirit will scare younger kids but otherwise the show is bright and fun. Deep themes such as honor and family are explored in surprising depth, and I recommend this show to anyone.
Final note: Don't see the live-action movie, it is that bad.

Awesome show!
Avatar is, like CSM said, a top-notch 'toon. It's about a kid named Aang (not Ong!) who travels the world trying to master all the elements (water, earth, fire, air) to defeat the Fire Lord and save all the nations. Aang is a good role model because he stops at nothing to save the world. There are also plenty of positive messages and lessons taught throughout the course of the show. If you like action, this show is for you! There's also quite a bit of comedy and drama.

Avatar: the last airbender fandom& ect.
I really loved Avatar: The last airbender! I used to watch it when i was younger and i recently downloaded for my younger brother who is 6 and he loves it. The violence is hardly as bad as other cartoons, such as ben 10 or young justice, which my brother also loves. I also think it's important to say that you have to remember it is not just aimed at younger kids, it has to appeal to The 'older fandom' to, that's where pairings come in.

Finally, a good, quality show for children to watch. And not just children.
This is appropriate for children eight and up. However, the older the child, the more they will appreciate Avatar for being the only show on Nickelodeon that has any coherent or emotional story. The characters a very complex, each one mirroring the element he or she has control over (Aang is lighthearted and peaceful, like air; Toph is headstrong, like earth). The villains actually have real reasons for being evil, which teaches kids that not all bad guys are cruel because they are, but because they may have been raised in dangerous or corrupt environments and have different ideals. Avatar: the Last Airbender is a show that parents will be able to tolerate, if not enjoy, when their children watch it. It also has good insights into Asian mysticism.

Hilarious Show!
Awesome show, I love it! It's so funny! I always watch it.For those of you who are sad about the series ending, they are coming out with a spin-off series featuring the new avatar called "Legend of Korra".

Asian religious innuendos meet epic fiction and off-screen violence in top-notch action cartoon.
While the amount of on-screen violence is low enough for a TV-Y7-FV rating, there are a lot of implications about the reality of war that may scare many young children. For example, in one episode, one character tried to blow up an entire town that had been taken over by the Fire Nation. There are also many death threats. Sometimes characters are seen with wounds that are barely short of being bloody. A couple of characters die. That said, this is a very well-written show that has some smart plotlines. I remember finding the Ba Seng Se very suspensful back in the day, and today I now understand the complex social parody behind it. And there are a few moments of comic relief that one may find worthy of chuckling at. But most of all, the season 2 finale is epically suspenseful and is one of the greatest season finales I've ever seen in my life, at least when you take out the masterful end of the Cell saga of DBZ. But in any case, brave children from 8-10 may watch it, and they should like it, especially if they are the sort to be interested in action-dramas that have a good use of suspense and serious dialogue.
