Guys, maybe Nick's just trying to stretch out the new episodes so the finale will coincide with Platinum's game being released, and that will come as a big announcement at SDCC this weekend.
Yeah, I know, that would require forethought which doesn't seem to be their strong suit.
I can hope though, right?
Don't take away my hope.

That is so weird, how does a show that popular have ratings that low?
It's like if Adventure Time were somehow in the shitter.
Demographics, delayed viewing. Same issue that plagued TLA. Nick wants to sell ad space to toy companies and high fructose corn syrup child diabetes peddlers that appeals to their main audience (kiddies) and their indulgent parents. They want to sell cheap merch hand over fist to a demographic unconcerned with structured narrative. Because they're kids.
Then you have this show attracting a bunch of 18-34 year olds who are a) not targeted by the advertisers and b) more likely to take advantage of time-shifting technology (DVRs, digital distribution channels like Hulu). Even if these people (us) pay for content, we're a black hole in the advertiser's eyes and therefore the ad space prices for less.
As far as a media exec is concerned, we can all suck a dick. Mad Men this show is not--it doesn't attract sophisticated awards (like, where would it even?) and critics aren't praising it to the heavens. It's small, it's cult, and it's not enough to overcome low ratings to avoid being the studio's punching bag.
I'm hopeful they're just stretching it out now. Hour long viewings have been great and all but it would not be unreasonable to want to switch back to half hour viewings.

What I don't understand is how any of this is surprising to anyone at Nick. Like, this is how the show has been since TLA. If it's such a black hole of wasted ad dollars, why do they keep requesting new seasons?
"Oh, last year we put it on air and surrounded it with ads for Magic Bead Makers and Lucky Charms and that didn't work so well. Maybe this year we should try something different, like surrounding it with ads for Magic Bead Makers and Lucky Charms."
I guess a world where actually watching the show is a pain in the ass is preferable to a world where the show just never got made at all, but this is unbelievably frustrating.
I can only imagine Nickelodeon is run like an episode of Hogan's Heroes, with the creative team covertly producing Korra episodes and disguising them in increasingly implausible ways from the bumbling executive placed in charge.

Nick's really screwed the pooch on this entire thing. First the uploading of some episodes in South America, then the running of Season 3 episodes with practically no advance warning (or re-broadcasts) and there still aren't any episodes up on Nick's website.
Can we call it 'executive sabotage' yet? Because this sequence of events surrounding the handling of this season are seeming less like coincidences and more like someone actively trying to bury the show.
I still believe that it's because some of them thought an action cartoon with a female protagonist wouldn't be popular. Season 1 proved them wrong, and now want to hurt the show to protect their pride.

It's not hard to sell ads targeting us, and they pay just as well as the ones they show normally. Given Korra's viewerships nerdy predilections, it's not hard to sell us toys either, just make them collectible statues instead of action figures and we'll buy them.
These aren't hard things to do, and they will surely get better results than what they are doing now by jerking the show around.

I think part of it is they got themselves locked into this deal and are trying to figure out how to make it work. Technically there are only 2 seasons of Legend of Korra. Both were ordered before the first episode aired and for 26 episodes a piece, which is evidently Nick standard. The creators just divided them up the way they did to better fit the original theme of a mini series, and to be able to leave out filler episodes.
So my guess is they have been trying to find a way to make this work. The ad dollars were likely not there for Saturday morning because the ratings in the demographic they needed weren't there in large enough numbers. They just haven't been there at all since, and quite probably someone at the network is trying to kill it off so they can refocus on shit like Spongebob. If there were a cheap way to break the contract it likely would have happened, but contracts can be tricky that way. I am still hoping there is a chance for Cartoon Network to pick the series up, but I don't think it's going to happen.

I know we like to think we're oh so desirable because we have autonomy and purchasing power, but we're not. Appealing to our eyeballs and our dollars requires creativity and effort on the part of Nick's advertising sales team, marketing team, and merch team that they don't have to do for any other show. Doing things differently that whatever formula they have going for their heavy hitters means more resources, means more risk, means more than they're evidently willing to do to make their investment bring solid returns.
I am pretty sure Nickelodeon owns the rights to anything in the A:TLA universe and even if they are trying to kill it off they aren't going to sell the rights to someone else so they can make money with it.
Nick's really screwed the pooch on this entire thing. First the uploading of some episodes in South America, then the running of Season 3 episodes with practically no advance warning (or re-broadcasts) and there still aren't any episodes up on Nick's website.
Wait, what? I live in South America, where are they uploading some episodes? I just checked the site and the latest episode is The Harmonic Convergence, which is episode 20 of the second season.
Just checked out the Latin American Spanish dub. I think Korra's voice is the only good one.

There was a snafu a couple of weeks before Season 3 aired where episodes 3-6 of Season 3 were uploaded instead of episodes from Season 2 to the Spanish-language Nickelodeon website. It's kind of what prompted them airing it before they were obviously thinking about doing it.

True. Executives would rather have no money than some of it, if they can't have all of it

Maybe it was the Spanish from Spain dub? We are never treated that well, and I can't quite find anything beyond episode 20.
Although I checked the Spanish, and Korra isn't even listed.

If I remember correctly last time it came up someone figured out they own everything about Last Airbender but not the universe in general. I'd imagine Korra's in a similar situation.

From what I've seen, the toys weren't shitty...
they just were missing half the cast in favor of an obscene number of Aang variants.
No Iroh, no Katara, no Toph, no Azula, but if you wanted a transparent version of Aang, you were set.

It's like all ten million variant batman toys out there. Want a "capture claw" batman who uses a device and uniform seen literally nowhere else but the toy? We got four cases of those. Want a Joker or a Poison Ivy or a Scarecrow? Well we should be getting a case of bat-villains in next month….
Trouble was they never figured out that Avatar was an ensemble cast. They also never even considered that boys (the only possible audience for an action show) would buy dolls (because that's what girl-shaped action figures are called) because that would be insane.

Heres the thing woth TLA toys- Mattel made them.( I think)
Mattel bloooooooows. They dont understand that kids dont need or want a million ve.rsions of the hero. They dont get that villians can be just as popular or that lady figures sell.
The other issue is articulation. Your Twilight net armor Aang figure could do liretally no action poses from the show.
Revoltech recently made TMNT figures for the new show though. Theres a decent chance Uhvatar could be next

So there's not reason not to get those episodes finished and release them?
If I had to guess they're just starting to animate the first episodes, so we're probably to the point that it would be a bigger waste of money to Nick to pull the plug now than to go ahead and finish it and get some return on their investment. At least that's the hope.
Still... moving to digital? Christ. I mean, yay for getting to see the new episodes and stuff like Orange is the New Black has been successes on digital and all, but man. This reads like almost as big of a slap in the face as it would have been to just cancel it, never to be seen again.

There's nothing else beyond asshattery.
What I don't understand is how any of this is surprising to anyone at Nick. Like, this is how the show has been since TLA. If it's such a black hole of wasted ad dollars, why do they keep requesting new seasons?
"Oh, last year we put it on air and surrounded it with ads for Magic Bead Makers and Lucky Charms and that didn't work so well. Maybe this year we should try something different, like surrounding it with ads for Magic Bead Makers and Lucky Charms."
I guess a world where actually watching the show is a pain in the ass is preferable to a world where the show just never got made at all, but this is unbelievably frustrating.

I could see Avatar working on Toonami. They show shit like Naruto and One Piece, which appeals to similar demographics.
