Their ratings tanked to the lowest so far and Nickelodeon seems to think it's not worth the air time anymore. And Season 4 is already done supposedly, so it's a matter of releasing existing content.

Shame, though honestly I shouldn't be surprised.

It isn't that Legend of Korra was a bad show, far from it, it is that it seemed to do everything that would make a show really unpopular as well as sort of messing with the overall adventure feeling of the show for a very modern feel. For example it has a super strong focus on continuity, it deals with older individuals and adults, and it deals with a LOT of romance subplots.

I am still REALLY glad I get season 3 and 4.

If only Young Justice got its proper ending... or Spectacular Spiderman... or a bunch of other shows.

Maybe the ratings have something to do with the fact that they keep changing the timeslot, didn't announce which timeslot it would be in until a week before the season aired, and keep sandwiching it between reruns of Full House? It's like they're trying to kill it...

They took it off the air on both my local stations pretty much IMMEDIATELY after season 1 ended. As well they don't even show Korra on Netflicks, not even the earlier seasons.

Even Adventure time lasted longer (but BOY does my station hate getting the latest episodes...) and is in fact still going.

So... no I will say that isn't the only issue.

Mind you the two stations I watch for cartoons... are kind of in the pits right now. I miss the old anime segments... they actually aired Deathnote.

So...basically they're giving it the Firefly treatment?

[Neonivek]

But it is between Full house! who doesn't like Full House the corniest show... ever

In all fairness though Korra might have been failing before that.

[Karlito]

That's kind of odd, considering up until now they were showing season 3 exclusively offline.

[WillowLuman]

The entire thing has been a fiasco offscreen. Basically, their Spanish-language branch accidentally leaked episodes 4-6 while in the process of dubbing them, so they pushed the air date up. There was basically just a week between the official trailer and the show airing. They really should have held out and given time for the hype to build, and their further mishandling is only making things worse.

Nah, Fox cut Firefly because it wasn't making enough money/ decent enough ratings.

Here they seem to insist on paying for the series, but do everything they can to make it fail.

From the very beginning, they've shot Korra in the foot. Coming off the massive success, both critically and financially of A:TLA, they only reluctantly greenlit Korra, and only as a miniseries. Then they asked for another season. Then they finally gave them 2 more.

Which of course created a problem because Season 1 was meant to stand on its own... so the series has had a problem having an overarching plot (in fact... it has none. If anything it is about "finding balance", but it has yet to complete one of these plotlines)

Making Season 1 feels almost like an introduction in the grand scheme of things.

What Adventure time is getting ANOTHER Season?

I like adventure time and everything, I like it a lot, but I honestly am starting to feel like the series really should start wrapping up the plotlines... and I do think 7 seasons is enough... MAYBE 8...

I just am worried this will become an endless series. Which I guess it can, but I'd still find it odd if they didn't finish all those loose ends by season 8... but I am hoping it will be done in season 7.

[penguinofhonor]

I feel like they're starting to wrap up the plotlines. Just starting.

I'm still very much enjoying the show though, and would be happy with a few more seasons before it ends.

[Neonivek]

They were, but then they started to create more drama.

[Mech#4]

From what I've read on web comics, drama begets drama. You start with one character falling in love with another, than a third party appears, a forth sidles in and suddenly you have something of soap opera proportions perpetuating itself into infinity.


Or the show will continue as long as people are watching it. Either one, possibly a few other reasons as well.

I thought cartoon network had a 7 season cap for how long a show could go on for
