Avatar: The Last Airbender is a 61-episode Emmy Award-winning American animated television series written and created by Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko. It first aired on February 21, 2005 with a one-hour series premiere[1] and concluded its run with a two-hour series finale on July 19, 2008.[2] The Avatar franchise refers to each season as a "book", in which each episode is referred to as a "chapter". Each book takes its name from one of the elements that the protagonist must master: Water, Earth, and Fire.[1] The show's first two seasons each consisted of 20 episodes, while the third season had 21. In addition to the three seasons, there were two recap episodes and three self-parodies. The first recap summarized the first eighteen episodes while the second summarized season two. The first self-parody was released via an online flash game. The second and third were released with the Complete Second Season Box Set DVD.[3] The entire series has been released on Region One DVD, but only part of the series has been released for Region Two.

In the Avatar universe, there are people who are able to manipulate, or "bend", the elements. The Avatar is a being able to manipulate all four elements: Air, Water, Earth, and Fire. The series follows Aang, the most recent incarnation of The Avatar, who is released from an iceberg by Katara and Sokka of the Water Tribe after being accidentally cryogenically frozen for 100 years. Aang sets out to master the three unlearned elements and end the war that has ravaged the world during his time away. While primarily focused on Aang, the series also focuses on Zuko, crown prince of the Fire Nation, the nation that started the war. Zuko is initially portrayed as an antagonist who tries to capture Aang, but who eventually decides to help him.

In addition to the show's three seasons and an unaired pilot,[4] there have been five specials since its premiere in 2005. These include three animated "shorts" and two recap episodes. The shorts were done in a "super deformed" style.[3] School Time Shipping, the first short, featured the characters from the show preparing for a school dance.[5] In Bending Battle, Katara, Toph, Aang, Zuko, Iroh, and Sokka argue over which element is the best one.[6] In Swamp Skiin' Throwdown, Sokka is taught to "swamp ski" by the Foggy Swamp Tribe, a forgotten extension of The Water Tribe.[7] The first recap episode focused on episodes one through seventeen of season one, while the second focused on the entire second season.[8][9]

[edit] Region Two

In the United States, all Season One DVDs were encoded using NTSC. Since this is not compatible in most countries outside North America, Nickelodeon released separate DVDs in regions where the video would be encoded using PAL instead. These releases began on February 19, 2007;[14] each DVD was released months after the original release. As with the original DVDs, each set contained four episodes on one disc,[14][15][16][17][18] with the exception of The Complete Book One Collection Box Set, which contained all of the twenty episodes in the season on five discs.[19]
