'sighs' Avatar the Last Air Bender had deep storylines an lore, so no it being a kids show is not the problem. Another good story based show would be Code Lyoko.

I think the problem is nowadays writers are pushing a product rather then a story and so writers get lazy, I'm not saying I'd do better but there was a point in time when shows had good plot that way people would buy the toys because the show was good.

It seems like the Spectacle comes before the story in kids shows & movies these days. It almost feels like its become the norm for youngish kids shows to have horrendous plots, I blame the shows that came before as if you go back stuff like Yugioh (The OG) had the same problems just not as bad. Because really, almost all of the cast if not all cheated in there games, and I don't remember half the stuff that happened because some stuff just came from left field and then was gone in like 10 episodes.(I remember Kaiba Corporation being taken over and some Digital fight space but I forget almost everything else about that plot)
