I laugh that you didn't even bother searching on wikipedia for Sci-fi channel...you would know that the network is owned by NBC Universal and Cartoon Network is just the same as Nick.
again not many people know how television business works and I only know half or less but I can at least back it up.

Hm... I am surprised to see M&B's stance on Zutara and Kataang. One thing seems clear, and I didn't expect it: they did not intend Zutara, at least not at first.
But it looks like some things change. Toph is one of my favorite characters, and Bryan fought against the idea at first.
Or maybe there will be a first for me: I will completely not understand the ship the writers intended. I just want to hear them say everything about it, not bits and pieces that could be twisted in various ways. The kid and mom thing doesn't do it for me. And yet the dismissive "people will see what they want to see" really sounds like they are completely shutting down Zutara. But "you guys are jumping ahead" on the other hand suggests that maybe, eventually...

The presented idea of a spin-off sounds a little uplifting. I'm just concerned about meeting all new characters. I'm sure they'll be well-developed and amazing (after all, I don't think I can hate one single character in the entire series so far), I'm just hoping it's as good as Present!Avatar.

One thing is for sure about Kataang/Zutara. Mike and Bryan are not going to tell you straight out one way or the other until the series is over. This interview can be twisted either way just like any interview they've given in the past.
And I qoute:
DIMARTINO: "And I never would have thought that the potential Katara/Zuko romance was going to be so ... you know, so big for people? Because honestly, that wasn't our intention from the start (laughs).
KONIETZKO: We knew about it...
DIMARTINO: We knew there would be some tension, but it wasn't like we were going to play that up too much, so it's cool to see people getting into that romance stuff."
This quote can be twisted either way
A Kataanger can say that it means it was never their intention to have Zutara in the show.
While a Zutarian could say that it was a potential relationship in their (Bryke's) eyes, but they never expected it to be such a big part of the show for the fans.
In the end we won't know for sure until either the book comes out or the finale is released.

Toph is one of my favorite characters, and Bryan fought against the idea at first. Ya, I suppose some Zutaran's might try to make that interview go either way, and that there is still some zutara in there. but that only works if M&B had put Zutara in after the fact, and it was not planned in the begining, but was rather a response to the fans. however, that is clearly refuted by this interview. Bryan Konietzko:" I think it's important to note one thing I have heard from the internet is that some fans have the idea we've put shipping into the show because they've asked for it...requested it. This is totally not the case. Mike and I like to do melodrama stuff and we wanted that in there. Not that it's all cheesy, but we wanted that from the get-go. Five years ago when we were developing this. Mike DiMartino adds: Yeah, Aang-Katara, that romance. Some stuff developed along the way, and we're glad some fans are more receptive to that element of the show, but it was in the DNA of the thing from the start. ya, combine these two interviews together( SPOILERS REMOVED) and the message is pretty dang clear... Sorry.
