I'm actually happy it was on a kids network. Honestly, a big part of me feels like Avatar on a kids network was the excuse to not have to include adult content, rather than the reason why they couldn't. I mean, they do a really solid job of exploring pretty much all of the same themes that a show with adult content would do. All we're really not seeing is sex and blood.
But we get polar bear dogs and platypus bears and... bears.
I remember laughing so hard at that clip. And that would never have existed if it wasn't on a kids network. Also, the Ember Island Players episode, which is one of the finest moments in all of television history. Seriously. It was the best.
[EDIT]
I've been sick for a week, and today it's randomly worse than any other day, and all I want to do is watch Avatar now. But it's no longer on Netflix. And they don't have bluray versions out yet (which I'd happily buy)
And I don't want to watch it on my pc, because I have all these pretty new Steam games to play.

Media Center, or w/e it? At one time the old family PC had all the episodes on it and we just steamed them through ps3s instead of watching them on the small 12inch screen. but then i bought a DVD Burner >.>
I'll probably have to torrent it anyway, I doubt the US nick site will allow me to watch it online and I don't feel like dealing with awful Dutch dubbing.
It looks like it has potential to be great, if they explore everything they hinted on in the first episode. I think the story has potential to be as good as the first series, and better than Book 1. Especially if they do a good job with the first Avatar. Something happened with the Statue of him when Tenzen's daughter discovered it at the same time Korra opened the gate to the Spirit World.
I knew Korra's Uncle was up to something, I didn't really guess an invasion of the Southern Water Tribe by the North. Very Fire Nation-y of him.
It was okay, the jokes were good, and the serious business was serious. Enjoyed the introduction of **** movies. That whole scene was probably my favorite. Mako is Horatio Caine now. More Bumi and creepy twins, please. My major complaint is that it all seems like a massive asspull. Not that it's bad, and I'm hoping it continues in the path it's going in, but the whole spirit thing is literally not mentioned anywhere else except starting with this episode. It came out of nowhere.
Kind of miss Lin Beifong, and didn't miss Iroh v.2.0 at all. Looks like they're setting up Jinora for big things, and I'm okay with that.

I pointed and almost yelled "BADGUY!" immediately.

He's very obviously a bad guy, but it's so insanely blatant that it makes me wonder if it's not a red herring. Also, I have to wonder if that forest/portal was sealed intentionally.
It'll be really interesting to see where things go from here. The setup with these episodes was really good so I have high hopes for this season.
