Fuzzy Lumpkins alone is enough of a bump for the show to be over Dexter's Lab.
The 00's will be really tough. There are so many shows that most will not have seen a good portion on the list. I think we should devise a better way to vote and make things a little less predictable.

I'm all open to suggestions if you guys have them.
And yes there will be a 00s nomination round in a future round here.
bronies were pretty much there since day 1. 4chan was ironically checking out the pilot episode, decided that they like it and created their stupid fandom. Around the time season 2 aired the producers and Hasbro started acknowledging them and the quality of the show suffered because of it
Tossed my save at Dexter, I'm not about to sit by while Hey, fucking Arnold slides by greats like Rocko/Dexter/PPG if this keep up, I'm simply done, and I'll know there is just a bunch of you with severely questionable taste...
Anyway, post was edited. I might toss a second kill, but it's probably a moot point this round.

Boo Hoo. I'm still waiting for the reason you hate Hey Arnold.
FYI thinking he wears a kilt isn't a reason.
It's not just a girls show, but I can see how anyone might think so. It is little girls acting like little girls when they aren't kicking ass.
My high school popularity can diminish retroactively?
People have told me that it was just a normal show until the demographics changed and it got weird. That's what I meant by my post; In the context of hindsight being 20/20, I'd love to see exactly where (if it was a line in the sand) or how that thing turned.
Ah, I see. Thought you were being crass and judgmental like that other poster. So is this really true? The show runners specifically changed it to target a niche adult demographic?

Most posters have already admitted to being in their teens/early 20s when these shows aired so it's less of a "What did I think was awesome as a kid" and more of "What could I justify watching" and PPG is one of those shows like MLP where people convince themselves it's good because it "Defies stereotypes" or some other BS.

It's pretty obvious that people who say that PPG is a girls show haven't actually watched it. It's a kids show. A really, really well written kids show. It's actually very well-balanced at appealing to both genders. I absolutely loved watching it while I was a kid.
(I'm abstaining from voting because I don't think it's fair to get into this so late.)

The number of 7th and 8th grade males I knew that watched PPG would turn your hair white, it would seem. It was not something hidden and talked about with shame, it was on the regular duty roster for cartoon discussion.

I love all of the remaining shows, but out of the (lets face it) four shows that will be voted against this round - with the exceptions of Animaniacs - I don't feel the others deserve top 5 quite like Hey Arnold! does.

Sigh:
Kill: Hey Arnold! - Good show, but I would only watch it if it was already on.
Kill: Rocko - ^
Save: TBD, maybe.

Kill: The Powerpuff Girls
Kill: Animaniacs
either one of these can go at this point. i don't think Powerpuff Girls should have outlasted Dexter, but it's still a pretty good show. it just doesn't really belong in its current company. Animaniacs is very very highly regarded but i think it's kind of overrated.

I think an anime survivor thread, with only anime, is a better idea. but that's just my opinion.
Without a reason this would get disqualified. just sayin'

Your going to put anime in the next cartoon survivor? That seems like it'll be a huge mess. It just seems like it'll be a list of over 100-150 (could be higher because there were a ton of anime released from 00-09) instead of a good 50 like this one. I think anime could have a survivor of its own, and have a ton of shows in it.
I just think of it like, if there was an anime survivor. Would people think of putting "Family Guy" in an anime survivor? Nope, wouldn't even cross anyone's mind.
Also, I don't think it'll be fair if you ask someone to compare KND to Air Gear.
Whether or not you do it, I'll still give a list:
Not sure if you were asking for lists of good anime from the 00's, or just 1 anime from each person. Regardless, I'll do both just in case.

I've plastered my distaste for this show plenty of times, but I'll go modify my post...
Don't need you or Ani narc'ing me out...
there are very different audiences though.
there's the hardcore fans in america and actual japanese folk who live there and watch anime as it's released
and then there are the people like me who only was exposed to it via toonami/midnight run/adult swim and other american channels.
nah, dexter's dead. it's dead before arnold. my work here is done.

I don't want Arnold to be voted out. I was just giving you a heads up. I'm just too interested in hearing your reason for the Arnold hate.
Kill: Animaniacs
Kill: Rocko
I'd like to see Arnold outlive both and there's only one way for that to happen. A comedy needs to go, and I think these two are at the bottom. I think it's a race for third place now between a couple of shows and I'd sooner see Arnold in our top 3 than either of those two shows.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5 posts DQ'd when the spread between 1 and 2 is 3 votes. Mmm.....
That's what I've been lead to believe. I'd love to find out at some point.

animaniacs was really hit and miss. it felt like baby boomers writing for baby boomers, except they only knew how to recycle the things they heard/listened to growing up. it's not like how adventure time is a show made by gen y'ers for gen y'ers since that show is pretty clearly its own thing and doesn't use humor from completely different decades as a crutch.

Don't like the style, I just never ever cared for it. No big secret reason, it just never clicked with me..and seeing better shows IMHO of course slip and get cast aside while this shit sits there and sneaks it's way into the top ranks...I just think that sucks

Save Hey Arnold: because quality tv deserves to to be appreciated.

Save: Hey Arnold
Before Powerpuff Girls go, Animaniacs just has to go first. Like I've stated, Animaniacs comedy was too much for me as a kid.
Rocko was funny, but I didn't like the designs all that much.
