all I see is someone not abiding to the rules - no more double kills
It was a joke vote.
Or should I say a pain vote ;-;

PPG had a wonderful showing in this survivor thread though, you should be proud!
Also, you can still vote, just change your save to the Batman.

I was surprised to be honest, even though I love that show - but still would have never guess it would make it to top 5!
I remember seeing someone posting a "what I thought GAFs top 10 would look like" I'm going to post my version of that -
in no specific order
Pokemon
Spongebob
X-men
Batman AS
South Park
The Simpsons
Ren & Stimpy
Beavis and Butthead
Animaniacs
also - of course DBZ somewhere, maybe instead of B&B
Suffice to say I was surprised at the list we ended up with
i actually really liked the good few seasons of rugrats. i didn't discuss a lot of it, but it was pretty funny in the earlier seasons.

Come on people just do an anime thread at some point, it should not be compared to Kim Possible and Jackie Chan adventures, they are not the same thing

okay, but i'm going to force all the anime-like shows into the top ten out of spite.
How do you compare shows like South Park or Sealab to Kim Possible? How are shows like Regular Show comparable to shows like Avatar? I agree that if we include all anime then the list would be too bloated. I like the idea that we should start with a certain number of shows, like 50 or so. We should also have an officiall vote for what we want to see on the list. Voting process TBD. This way we don't have too many anime or other shows. Perhaps Our vote in ballots could be secret, via PM so not to give away the top shows or allow for politics to be too much a factor.

I never said South Park or Family guy should be in there, I would probably prefer if they weren't. Anime is just so different from the Kim Possible saturday morning cartoon style show that I don't think they should be compared, considering how many of them there are. Do you consider Death Note and Full Metal alchemist as cartoons?
Just do an Anime survivor thread FFS.
i think that's a very narrow definition of 'cartoon'.
i consider 'cartoon' to be comics in the funny pages, and animation to be animation. i mean, back in the 40s, animation wasn't made specifically for children, but children still enjoyed them.
'2000-2009 american childrens animated television survivor' seems to be the most accurate name here.

I can agree that anime is very different from Kim Possible. I would choose shows that were popular on American television, but there is something a little wrong with that too. What about all the gaffers who aren't from the US? Foreign programming is excluded? How broad will the programming be. Really just children's programs?

Isn't that what the whole spirit of this thread was? Look at the list in the OP, it is heavily geared towards american childrens animated television shows. The only anime included are shows which had a broad appeal to children (dbz and pokemon). Correct me if I'm wrong.
This is why I'm hoping anime won't be in the 00s, if anime is it will be very predictable what will be in the top 10 and there would probably be a huge anime-gaf invasion.
Cowboy Bebop was quite popular here (Europe). It was one of the late night anime shows that aired on MTV (together with Vision of Escaflowne, Inuyasha and a few others). Pretty much my only exposure to anime, aside from afternoon cartoons such as Pokemon, Digimon and the likes

Wait a second..... So MTV in Europe was basically Adult Swim on Cartoon Network 10 years ago? I'm not trying to be a jerk I'm just really curious about this.
kind of, yeah. At least in my country
during the day it was just music videos and terrible reality shows

When was this? Didn't get satellite TV here until mid-00s so the first anime (outside of Sailor Moon and Pokemon, Digimon etc) I saw was Kino's Journey and Hellsing on Canal+ Scandinavia in 2006.
Cowboy Bebop aired here in 2003. I remember watching the last few episodes of Hellsing on MTV as well

So glad PPG is finally gone, way too late but better late than never.
Kill: Arnold I loved Arnold, but even I don't think it really belongs in the top 5 let alone the top 3.
Kill: Batman As good as it is I don't think it holds a candle to the best of the best simpsons.
Save: The Simpsons
The Simpsons is not only the cartoon of the 90's it's the show of the 90's. It was when it was at its best and it's what blew it up to a phenomenon that's still going today. I think this vote was decided as soon as Simpsons was included.

Here's the deal, Batman TAS is shit. How it is competing with The Simpsons I can only assume is due to some shit backyard PMing/recruiting in comic threads. So here's to hoping it fails. Simpsons deserves first. Hey Arnold! is an acceptable second.
Here is my list of nominations for the 2000s thread... is there a limit? These all first aired 2000-2009:
Sealab 2021
Jackie Chan Adventures
Clerks: The Animated Series
Clifford the Big Red Dog
The Fairly OddParents (still airing, actually)
Invader Zim (if I only get one nomination, this is my pick!)
Justice League
Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law
Samurai Jack
Sitting Ducks
Clone High (this was waaaay too short lived)
The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius
Kim Possible
Queer Duck (this show was goofy as fuck, btw)
The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy
Star Wars: Clone Wars
The Venture Bros.
Moral Orel
The Boondocks
Robot Chicken
Chowder
Phineas and Ferb
Transformers: Animated
Batman: The Brave and the Bold
Ben 10: Alien Force
The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack
The Cleveland Show
The following all first aired in 1999 but primarily ran in the 2000's, so I'm not sure if these count:
Ed, Edd n Eddy
Beast Machines
Batman Beyond (I think we had this in the current thread, actually)
Family Guy
Rocket Power
SpongeBob SquarePants (still airing new episodes in fact)
These are shows which first aired in 2010-2012:
My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (I still think this show is terrible after the first half of the first season, but I know it has a strong fanbase, so I fear how far it will get)
Ben 10: Ultimate Alien
Mad
Transformers: Prime
Bob's Burgers
Bubble Guppies
Ben 10: Omniverse
Transformers: Rescue Bots
OK, that does it for my nominations for now.

If you feel so strongly about Batman, then you shouldn't vote for Arnold. Less votes for Arnold might give it a second place, which you seem to think is the order of these shows. It's not likely but we can try. Simpsons > Arnold > Batman.

It's been a fun ride, guys. All three shows are really good, but really, The Simpsons was and I think sometimes still is really great.
There are so many good 00's shows. Tiny Titans, Avatar (which is going to be the obvious winner), My Life as a Teenage Robot, Fairy OddParents, Foster's Home, Invader Zim, Phineas & Ferb, Futurama, Adventure Time, Samurai Jack... that thread's gonna be a massacre.

You may be right about this, but strongly believe that it should not have the top spot locked up like the simpsons does with the 90's round. There is a lot I like about Avatar and I do believe it is one of the best of the '00s, but it is not as mature as some of the other shows that should make the list. I wont argue about it being a great show. It has a good story, the continuity is good, animation is great, likable characters, decent humor so it is really solid and a good contender, but it still has some strong contenders from the '00s. I guess this all depends on if we decide on only chidren's shows too.

Batman, and Hey Arnold, both formidable, excellent shows. But they don't hold a candle to the Simpsons. Has some of the highest peaks any animated show can reach, timeless, endlessly quotable humor, and the most vast, varied, memorable cast in any fictional media I can recall. It was also the first cartoon I recorded off the TV when I was 4 Bart the Genius.
