My kids and I have found a series that we can all watch together. Unlike the previous reviewer I had no problem watching this streamed to my TV. I have a Roku and I ordered it from my TV using the Roku device. I also ordered and watched Season 2 from Amazon Video on demand. My kids love this series and its plots are so intricate and interesting that we enjoy watching them together.

I've ordered all 3 seasons of Avatar on demand because my fiancee and I simply could not stop watching. In short, this show is brilliant from beginning to end. Although it's aimed for younger audiences, it's the type of show that's fun and entertaining for everyone of all ages. Despite its light-hearted nature, Avatar has deep and engrossing story lines with complex characters who mature over time. If you like epic adventures in the same vein as Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, etc., Avatar would probably be a good bet. I'm currently a medical student and all of my colleagues who I suggested this show to say that it's great for relaxing during their downtime.

I'm watching these episodes on my TV by hooking it up to my computer w/ an HDMI cord and it works perfectly.

I love this series. My wife and I have watched it all the way through a few times over the last couple of years. The storyline is great, the character development is superb, acting is absolutely first rate (you will fall in love with every character) and the animation is fantastic. I think my biggest compliment goes to the writers of this series for never losing track of the story, never forgetting who the characters are, and for ending spectacularly. Watch this series, you'll love it.

Avatar is a great show, I love it! The only problem is Amazon's STUPID DRM protection which makes it impossible to do anything with the files! I'm incredibly angry. They don't actually tell you that you can't put videos on your iPod until AFTER you buy it! I will never, ever buy Amazon Instant video again. Really disappointing, the price was great. : (

And, if DRM isn't a problem for you, buy it!

For 10.00 for the complete season 3 this is a great deal. It is the cheapest price you can find them. The quality isn't perfect nor is it widescreen, but is is good enough in my eyes for the price you pay. I would get the first 2 seasons on dvd and get the third season for cheap here. Anyways, the last episode is amazing. It is hard to pick my favorite book, but I think it is probably book 1. Book 3 comes in second and book 2 comes in last.

This show is excellent, but you would be better served finding it from a different source. The video quality here is terrible. It's not any better than a pirated version of the game. Better to download it off of PSN or Xbox Live, rent through netflix, or buy the discs outright. I was extremely disappointed. It's really a stab in the back to try to honestly download shows without pirating and then to be rewarded with video of such poor quality. This is why piracy occurs in the first place.

I purchased the third season of "Avatar: The Last Airbender" for my kids to watch via XP Pro-Windows Media 11 streaming to their XBOX 360. In the last twelve months I've purchased dozens of videos, including all the current episodes of season one of Glee, and had no problems playing videos using this method. To my chagrin and after spending three hours on the phone with both XBOX and Amazon help desk professionals, it's been determined these episodes have a unique DRM encoding that allows them only to be played on the computer to which they were downloaded. Simply put, if you intend to stream these to any device not the computer they are saved, expect it not to work. Yes, I'm sure I could find an application othat would allow me to strip out the copy protection but some people, me being one, would like to watch the videos in the same easy manner I've watched all of my other Amazon Video On Demand purchases. All input regarding positional solutions or work arounds to this dilemma (besides breaking the apparent copy protections) are welcome.
