Summer is officially here and it is HOT!  We have to take a lot of “inside” breaks to cool off.  This downtown, often turns into TV time, which can often lead fighting over what to watch.  Thankfully, the Nickelodeon release of Avatar – The Last Airbender: The Complete Series on Blu-Ray has been helping out this week.

Show Synopsis: Avatar: The Last Airbender:  Water. Earth. Fire. Air. Only the Avatar was the master of all four elements. Only he could stop the ruthless Fire Nation from conquering the world.  But when the world needed him most, he disappeared.  Until now… On the South Pole, a lone Water Tribe village struggles to survive.  It’s here that a young Waterbender named Katara and her warrior brother Sokka rescue a strange boy named Aang from a cavernous iceberg.  Not only is Aang an Airbender – a race of people no one has seen in a century – but they soon discover that Aang is also the long lost Avatar. Now it’s up to Katara and Sokka to make sure Aang faces his destiny to save the tribe, and himself.
