AtchucanTV: Avatar - The Last Airbender

With 61 episodes spanning 3 seasons, Avatar: The Last Airbender has what it takes to be an AtchucanTV feature.

Nickolodean's Avatar has redefined American cartoons and successfully blended Western and Eastern concepts. I'm sure most of us prefer Japanese animation over American. Taking the best of both worlds, the story of Avatar takes place in a world with 4 nations based upon the elements.

These nations are:
The Air Nomads
The Earth Kingdom
The Water Tribe
and the Fire Nation

In the series, people of each place can "bend" an element. (Example: a fire nation soldier can control well... uh fire! Go figure.)

So the story of Avatar mainly revolves around Aang, a 12 year old monk who's actually over a hundred years old! Go figure some more.
He's a loveable kid who's both naive and peculiarly clever which easily makes the series a good candidate for a guilty pleasure.
Now if you want to stop figuring all these things out, Atchucan recommends you to stop reading my blog and go grab yourself the 3 seasons of Avatar: The Last Airbender.


P.S. My favorite character is Toph - the blind girl who's wicked sick with her Earth-bending.
Who's yours?

AtchucanTV: Prison Break

Warning: PrisonBreak is not be suitable for very young audiences.

Throughout history, escape attempts from prison has shown us how much man desires freedom.
The thought of escaping has always brought that adrenaline rush in the thoughts of people.
Generally, people thought of these accounts as exciting and adventurous.
In fact, prison escapes have been a high-selling subject for both fiction and non-fiction books.
(Atchucan Recommends: Alexandre Dumas' The Count of Monte Cristo)

Paul T. Scheuring brings it up a notch by bringing that concept to television which has made PrisonBreak one of the most exciting TV series ever created. Each new episode makes you keep yearning for more since it has that right formula of satisfying a curiousity then quickly bringing up another mystery.


Wentworth Miller plays Michael Scofield, the structural engineer who creates an elaborate plan to break out his wrongfully accused brother. Relying on his brilliant analytical skills and foresight, he creates situations which eventually add up to his main goal - breaking out of Fox River State Penitentiary.

You know these guys are gonna escape, you just don't know when!

Now who wants some Bolshoi Booze?
