Kill : Ahh! Real Monsters
Kill : Rugrats
Save : Hey! Arnold

Rugrats and Ahh! Real Monsters have some of the worst voices for their characters ever. just sayin'

Really? I always thought A!RM had great voices. The actors got across their characters' personalities through voice alone.

Rugrats, on the other hand, not so much. But I didn't think it was bad.

I agree. The voices in A!RM were great. I tried watching a few episodes recently on Netflix. Unfortunately It didn't hold up too well.

Alright GO!
 
KIll: Megaman
Kill: South Park
Save: Samurai Pizza Cats

SPC is pretty great. I rewatched it a few years ago and there's a lot of jokes you only get as an adult. Also the show is insane.
 
Kill: Rugrats
Kill: Cow & Chicken

I find these shows to be obnoxious more than anything. I'm not sure why I sat through them as a kid.

Save: Dexter's Laboratory

Do I really need a reason?
 
Kill: Angry Beavers
Kill: Ren and Stimpy
Save: Dexter's Lab

Angry Beavers was never that funny, and I never really liked R&S's gross-out humor and randomness. Dexter's Lab was just great.
 
Kill: Captain Planet
Kill: Megaman
Save: Aaahh! Real Monsters

I loved Captain Planet as a kid. I still do. But it wasn't a good show. I appreciate what it set out to accomplish, but as a cartoon it is in my opinion one of the biggest wastes of potential greatness I have ever seen. The concept is brilliant and what we could have had if it were put in the hands of people wanting to write a quality show first and send a message second makes me weep at what we got.

As big a waste of potential as Captain Planet was, Megaman was worse. As both The Megas AND The Protomen have demonstrated, the Megaman mythos is a wellspring of inspiration, and Ruby-Spears instead made the most generic dreck possible. This should absolutely not survive longer than any other show still left and had I realized earlier it was on the list, Mr. Bogus would still be around.

A! RM, on the other hand is that studio playing to its strengths. Their character design was never pretty, so they make a universe where the goal is to be grotesque. It has strong scenario writing and the characters are interesting and have some surprising depth. It's Monsters Inc and Harry Potter before either of those things existed.

Same as last time.
 
Kill: Dexter's Lab
Kill (with fire): Ren and Stimpy
Save: Mega Man

As I said in other thread, Dexter has ugly art, animation, writing and direction. I hate nearly everything about it.

Ren and Stimpy is a fucking disgusting, revolting show that literally made me sick (and gave me nightmares) watching it. There's like one episode in its entire history that was even remotely tolerable, and that one didn't even include Ren or Stimpy!

As far as Mega Man, look, I get that it's not gonna win too many awards. But the show wasn't THAT bad. It had excellent voice acting (Mega Man is Goku, for god's sake!), a killer soundtrack, decent writing in some episodes, and occasionally, some pretty sweet animation. Plus, I really liked the fact that Ruby-Spears vision of Mega Man actually looked like, you know, a MAN. Yes, there's a lot of areas it needs major improvements on, and I realize MM being 6 ft. tall is pretty different from his in-game appearance, but despite all that, there are far, far worse shows on this list that deserve to be beaten/killed.
 
Kill: The Angry Beavers
Kill: The Angry Beavers

Not funny at all.

Save: Ren and Stimpy

Worth it for the Fire Dogs episode, every appearance of Powdered Toast Man, Billy the Beef Tallow Boy, Don't Whiz on the Electric Fence, Log, Muddy Mudskipper, man the list goes on. This show was chock full of classic characters and gets points just for being one of the original Nicktoons!
 
Kill : X-Men Animated Series
Kill : Batman Beyond
Save : Batman Animated Series

Just because it's getting harder to vote and imo Batman AS outclasses all superhero cartoon shows.
 
Kill:Recess-too many stereotypes, not enough entertainment
Kill:Rugrats-Just not as funny or entertaining as the first 3 nicktoons(R&S, Doug, Rocko)

save beavis and butthead-B&B is just raw 90s comedy..amazing
 
Kill: Mega Man
Kill: Kablam!

Save: Dexter's Laboratory

MM and Kablam weren't good, except for that one Mega Man X episode. Dexter's Lab was fantastic, so I'm saving it from that dude with terrible taste.
 
Kill Cow and Chicken
Kill Freakazoid
Save Ren and Stimpy

Cow and Chicken needs to be the next off of this. Ren and Stimpy brought us Stinky Wizzleteats.

I encourage the Freakazoid fans to rewatch a few episodes this week as voting continues. Last time I watched it I was bummed at how poorly the humor aged. I'm voting it out less as a sign of distaste for the show but more as a sobering effort against all those saves. I don't want it off next or anything, but it can't be our early winner, especially with some of the excellent shows remaining.

It seems like we're hunting down what left a sour taste in our collective mouths, but it'd be criminal if Swamp Thing made it past something like Rugrats.
 
Kill: The Angry Beavers
Kill: The Angry Beavers
Save: Ed Edd n Eddy

I always hated The Angry Beavers, they really weren't funny too me. Also, the blond beavers voice annoyed me a lot.

Ed Edd n Eddy is a classic, I always loved the shenanigans they got into. Even the newer episodes were still good (which is rare), especially because they were starting to get more into their Jr High life.
 
Kill: Ed, Edd, and Eddy.

Kill: Ed, Edd, and Eddy.

Save : Xmen

It's time to go away for good, you squiggly, jaw breaker obsessed, fools.
 
Kill: Mega Man
Kill: Doug
Save: Ren & Stimpy


Mega Man has some negative momentum so I will ride it out. Doug was just boring, I don't get the adoration it receives at all.
 
Kill :ed edd and Eddy

Kill: cow and chicken

Save: swat cats

Cartoon network has had some serious stinkers in its time the worst of which is eee. They can't all be Powe puffs, dexters and Jacks, but damn did that showsuck. Cow and chicken one of the more terrible of the shows that came out of viewers voting for shorts to be made into series iirc.

Good save. I almost used mine for X-Men.

But guys, really, Swamp Thing. Hercules. Swat Cats. Tail Spin. Sailor Moon.

All better than Rugrats? Let's be honest with ourselves.
 
^leave a comment, guys

kill: Megaman
kill: Megaman
save: Angry Beavers

Megaman remains one of the least watchable shows of the 90s, I always switched the channel whenever it was on. I seriously can't believe people want to vote out Angry Beavers, it was hilarious! Way better than stuff like Cow & Chicken or Ed, Edd, and Eddy
 
Kill: Captain Planet
Kill: Ren & Stimpy

I found neither of those shows even moderately entertaining, let alone funny.

Save: Ed, Edd, and Eddy
 
Kill: Animaniacs
Kill: Freakazoid
Save: Sailor Moon

Those first two shows always annoyed the crap outta me, and I have a soft spot in my heart for Sailor Moon. After school Toonami 4 life, yo.
 
Kill: Cow & Chicken
Kill: Cow & Chicken
Save: Animaniacs

I couldn't for the life of me stand watching Cow & Chicken for 5 minutes. Gross, ridiculous, nonsensical and not funny at all. Get that shit outta here.
 
Kill : Biker Mice from Mars

Kill : Biker Mice from Mars

Save : Angry Beavers

Biker Mice from Mars is so bad I barely remember it.
 
Kill: Animaniacs
Kill: Animaniacs
Save: Freakazoid

Never liked Animaniacs. It had some good segments like the pigeons but other then that it was hit or miss. Most often miss. Freakazoid was amazing show. Such classic bad guys. Candle Jack!
 
Kill: Courage the Cowardly dog
Kill: Pokemon

Save: Gargoyles

I hated Courage the cowardly dog. The dog just screamed for the whole episode before finally saving both the old lady and old man (who was always mean to the dog).

As for Pokemon, I just never got into it. I didn't play handhelds so I never really played the game and by the time I was introduced to the show it just got old fast. It felt like a show that taught kids how to fight dogs, lol.

P.S. I love dogs and do not approve of fighting dogs.
 
Kill: Cow & Chicken
Kill: Cow & Chicken

What is so gross about a cow and chicken eating pork butts.....oooh I see what you mean.

Whoa, kill Animaniacs before Swamp Thing? Before Cow and Chicken? Before Pinky & the Brain? Before Captain Planet?

Chicken Boo, man. Chicken Boo.
 
It looks like this round is going to be a real wild card. I probably should have saved Kablam! Most of the shorts were dumb, but Action League Now was great and my main reason for watching Kablam!
 
Kill: Angry Beavers
Kill: Arthur

The title 'Angry Beavers' really just left a very bad image in my head. It did when the show came out and it still does now. I just dont want to think about Angry Beavers. I also never liked any of the PBS cartoons. I see the benefit of some of the shows now, but even as a child, Arthur was boring. He seems like a nice guy, but he's gotta go.

Save: Courage

The things I do for love.
 
Save The Tick
It has a villain that had a chair for a head. Not only that he was also a Chippendale.
His first act was to simply write his name on the moon. THAT was his evil scheme and if I remember correctly he started the machine but only got the first few letters on and every episode later showed the moon with those letters.

This show was the closest a kid could have got to recreational drugs. And I loved it.

2 X Kill Captain Planet
Look, the guy was just an irritating douche. Every episode was an excuse for the 5 kids to bungle into some form of pollution only to summon CP to bring about the end of the show.

So seeing CP would be the highlight, yes? No, what follows the the 5 most tedious minutes of the show as we listen to a goody two-shoes try to make one-liners and then it ends.

Well if we're allowed to do this I will keep my old votes.

A Further reason to Save The Tick:
It has an accountant called Arthur who dresses up as a moth and can glide. The Tick has special powers but Arthur is just a dude in a suit and his 'super' name is still just Arthur. What a bad ass.

More reasons to Kill Captain Planet:
Imagine Poochy got his own show except sadly Captain Planet did not die on the way to ours.
 
kill: Cow and Chicken
kill: Captain Planet

save: Animaniacs

i've already given reasons for Cow and Chicken and Captain Planet. out of that list, and Animaniacs is what deserves to be killed? not even close.
 
Kill: Samurai Pizza Cats- Sill never seen it, still a stupid name.
Kill: Megaman- TV shows based on videogames are never good.

Save: Angry Beavers- Underrated show. A classic Nickelodeon "B-tier" show.
 
Kill: Ahh! Real Monsters - Cow and Chicken is gross? No. Kill this hideous thing instead.
Kill: Ahh! Real Monsters
Save: Cow and Chicken.
 
Kill: Cow and Chicken
Kill: Ren & Stimpy
Save: Rugrats

Those two shows gave me nightmares as a kid, so of course I would love to kill them. Rugrats was a great show, and I think I watched every episode back in the day.
 
Kill: Cow and Chicken
Kill: Cow and Chicken
Save: Sailor Moon

Cow and Chicken was like a lesser version of R&S. I didn't find it funny or clever at all.

My vote for Sailor Moon will change if anything else I care about is in danger, but it's fine for now.
 
shows like The Adventures of Don Coyote and Sancho Panda will stay on the list for a long time, since no one ever watched them. People are mostly going to vote for or against cartoons they know
