Korra got the boot!? D:

[Dragonflitter]

Don't know how many other fans of The Legend of Korra are here, but I have sad news to announce! Nick has decided to drop Korra Season 3 from the air! 

The season will not finish on television, instead it will movie to online streaming only. So you can still watch the eps for the rest of the season, but you will have to do it at Nick.com or with an online streaming provider like Hulu.com. The assumed explanation is that the show pulled in very poor ratings so far.

Honestly I do not have cable tv (I don't even own a television) so I watch all my tv shows online anyway. Even so, I'm very sad to hear about this because I know there's a bunch of people who love Korra and watch it on tv and will be sad to see the season disappear from the online broadcast schedule.

Awe, that stinks. Nick has never treated Korra or Avatar very well. They don't advertise it very well. At least the rest of the season will be available. Some networks would cancel it and sit on the unaired ones. I'm looking at you Fox.

[Sprinkles]

Awww I love Avatar and I've been keeping up with Korra regularly.

[Nohpny]

Awh. I really love that show. I'm a big fan of The Last Airbender as well. I remember watching the final season when it aired. At least it will be online...

I don't know how to feel about this, I feel sad that it's a show about my favourite childhood characters, but much, much older, so that hurts a little, it then again, I'm sad they're cancelling it as there are many fans of the show. It won't affect me as I stopped watching it after avatar legend of Aang stopped, I guess that's me though, I don't like change very much, probably partly due to a lot of sadness because of change in my life.

[Leave a Whisper]

Nick used to have great shows and ATLA and TLoK were their last breaths of fresh air. Yet cartoons chock full of gross idiocy like SpongeBob and Uncle Grandpa are continuously foisted upon us.

[Bekuno]

Oh my god thats horrifying...

I don't have cable so I wouldn't have been able to support the show anyway, and I'll admit I haven't watched further than season one but I've been meaning to catch up.

I thought the series was doing well? Jeez..

[Nightbow]

That sucks. That might mean there won't be a season after this one.

It's only natural that when people watch episodes online, TV raitings drop. I do wish TV would catch up with the times though. It's not so strange that people won't pay to view a channel that has one good show on. People are getting pickier with what they're spending their precious time on. When not stressing, they sit down and stream entire series. Oh, and the kids would rather play games.

:/

Nick should not be surprised about LoK getting low ratings, considering they barely advertised that there was a new season airing (although in a way it wasn't their fault, considering S3 episodes had gotten leaked way before they were supposed to air so Nick scrambled to air them ASAP). Really, there are still people who didn't know season 3 already started (or the same thing happened when season 2 was airing). Plus, it wasn't a smart move of them to air S3 on a "death time-slot" ( a lot of people are usually out and about on Friday nights/evenings).

Still, I am quite upset about this. I'm still mad at Nick for doing the same thing to Winx Club. *grrr!*
I do have Hulu Plus, so I can still watch LoK on my TV (I have the app on my ps3), but I still liked being able to watch a show without having to go online to do so [if that makes sense]. Call me odd, but I really don't like having to watch shows online and prefer watching shows on a TV screen. I really feel bad for the LoK fans that can't watch it online due to internet reasons.


Looks like TMNT will be the only thing I watch on Nick now.
At least going by what one of the show creators said earlier today, LoK isn't cancelled ( IIRC season 4 was announced some weeks back?) but it's still a shame that this all happened.

[Midnight_Dream]

They are not canceling the show, just pulling it from airing on TV. The creators said they would discuss it more at SDCC during their panel, so I say until we get the full story we just need to calm down.

I remember seeing some fans complain about Nick not putting the episodes online after they aired, with a few admitting to piracy.  I wonder if Korra being online only is Nick doing this out of spite.  Fans want the episodes online, then they'll be online only! But yeah, we'll probably learn more at the SDCC panel.  Is kind of curious to know how this will affect Season Four...

TV Network management blows my mind sometimes. You don't advertise, you don't rerun, you don't make a big deal, and it dies because you're unhappy with it and have no idea how this happened!

Disney would not stop talking about Girl Meets World and pulled five million viewers. Five. Million.

Either Nick's run by morons, or as much as I hate to say it, Korra fell victim to the "Boys watch action shows and won't watch the shows because they think girls are icky" which kills every female centric action show in the states DEAD. Sometimes even before airing. You passed on Modifyers why?

Not sure if it's out of spite, although I can imagine Nick being extremely mad at their Mexico(?) TV branch for leaking the first four episodes [accidentally] in the first place. Part of me thinks they weren't going to air S3 until this fall (and maybe show a sneak peek at SDCC).
But as far as the fans complaining about the episodes taking forever to be put online, I totally understand why the fans are mad. In comparison, the newest episodes of TMNT get put on iTunes/AmazonPrime(?) the midnight before it airs on Sunday morning. But with LoK, for a show airing on Friday night, new episodes don't go online until maybe about the following Monday, which is not a smart thing to do if you don't want people to pirate the episodes.

Considering that Nick just LOVES airing Spongebob Squarepants all the time and basically forgetting they have other animated shows besides that and FoP, I'd say they are run by morons.

I personally wish they would at least move LoK to Nicktoons Channel. I can see it getting better treatment there.

I didn't even know there was a season 2, let along season 3

NOOOO...!!!!
