I'm going to assume if I vote now it counts towards tomorrow and if one of my votes is no longer on the list, I can change it? If not, I'll edit this post.

It kinda breaks my heart that this thread killed Ah! Real Monsters over Eek! The Cat. I was never a huge fan of Ren and Stimpy either because it was a little over the top, but I'm not going to waste my votes on it because I can see the love in this thread and I respect that.

What I don't get, is the kill votes for SWAT Cats. Someone please explain. That was my favorite show on TV until the third season of Reboot (the one where Enzo is a badass). The combination of awesome music, an awesome jet that has a drop in motorcycle, awesome weapons, and a couple of brothers that run a junkyard and save the world. Don't get me wrong, I loved TMNT and most every other show on the OP list, but SWAT Cats seemed to have it all. Sooo....

Kill: Eek! The Cat
Kill: Eek! The Cat
Save: SWAT Cats

Where in the name of nude fighting the sun god Ra were you!?

I know.... I'm sorry.... I avoided this thread because of the potential mind wandering nostalgia and, in doing so, betrayed one of my fondest childhood memories. Hence why I am defending SWAT Cats.

I will die on that hill!
 
3 Strikes and you're out!
It is with a heavy heart that I must say that Angry Beavers leaves the island with an astounding 19 kills and 6 saves for a total of 13. We also had a tie for 2nd place. Carmen S got 10 kills and 2 saves while Big Guy got 8 kills and 0 saves and according to the rules, Big Guy leaves because it has less saves.
Remaining top 5
  • Rugrats (2 kills 0 Saves)
  • Hercules, Fantastic Max(1 kill each, 0 saves) Aladdin(2 kills 1 save) (tie)
Remaining List:
  • Spongebob Squarepants (Seasons 1-4)
  • Rocko's Modern Life

To the person asking above about if your vote counts for next round, yes it still does.
Anyways, voting for this round ends at 1AM EST.
 
At least Angry Beavers lasted longer than Ah! Real Monsters :P Sad to see it go, but will be interesting to see how everyone who continuously double killed it will vote now.
 
RIP Beavers. Ren and Stimpy won that battle I guess.
Yeah, it really did. That show was actually -3 votes and was the lowest show on the list with only 4 kills and 7 saves.
My kills for this round:
Kill: Carmen Sandiego
Kill: Carmen Sandiego
Sorry Adder, never saw this show.
Save: Rugrats
Really liked this show as a kid. Funny stuff. Even liked most of the movies and the All Grown Up show. Weird I know.
Sorry guys. Round ends at 1 AM. Stupid phone typo.
 
Kill : Bobby's World
Kill : Bobby's World
Save : Courage the Cowardly Dog

Bobby's world hasn't had a single vote for anything, I believe, surprisingly. Screw Howie Mandel! Based off comments, I do have a bit of worry for Courage, better safe than sorryI suppose, that show is as original and unique of any show I've seen.
 
You people seriously killed off Sailor Moon before something like Aladdin or Carmen Sandiego? for shame...

Kill: Swat Kats
Kill: Swat Kats (this show will die by hand...)
Save: Ren and Stimpy
 
Kill: Carmen Sandiego
Kill: South Park

Save: Rugrats

Babies should get one more chance

My nostalgia for Carmen Sandiego was always more about the game show. I don't remember the cartoon being all that good.
 
Both Rugrats votes were one guys doing, unless I'm mistaken. I don't think there's any real support for even touching it right now.

It's a toss up between that and maybe going for Bobby's World and/or Hercules. I still haven't made my mind up yet. Though Eek! the Cat does already have two kill votes as well.

I never saw Eek or Bobby's World that I can remember, so I'm fine with either. I remember liking Hercules, but that may be the movie I'm remembering.

Yeah, I voted a double kill for that show. It's god awful. Sadly, it seems it will be there for awhile longer, but when the opportunity arises, I will strike again. :]
 
Kill: Bobby's World- Never liked this show at all. Just seemed too bland and dull to me
Kill: Where on Earth is Carmen Sandiego?- Like I said last round, it just isn't good at all.
Save: Swat Kats- Eh, nothing else really worth saving that doesn't need it. R+S are going to make it this round anyway, SK seems to have some followers that really like it so why not
 
Kill: Fantastic Max
Kill: Fantastic Max
Save: Swat Katz

Carmen escaped by the skin of its teeth and I don't remember it (I remember the game show but not the cartoon). Fantastic Max didn't get any saves, so I'm dumping support into killing it. Looks like that'll be the result (Max/Carmen), barring last second calamity.

I'd much rather not do the whole "R&S vs something else" thing again if at all possible. Angry Beavers would still be there and stuff that didn't receive any votes at all would be gone now.

Not gonna happen....

and whats' with people leaving their saves blank...that's cheating

You can edit your Kills/Save's up until the deadline. This way no one (in theory) wastes their Kills/Saves on shows that aren't going anywhere. Like Rugrats. (I'm watching you Skid)

You're killing off SWAT Kats before Carmen Sandiego? Why? This thread confuses me. Everywhere I go, when I hear a 90's kid show conversation strike up SWAT Kats is always up there with the likes of Gargoyles and Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. What did you dislike? The fact they were cats? If every anthropomorphic show caught crap, a huge majority of these shows would be hated. Ren and Stimpy included. You hate it even more than Eek! The Cat, a cheesy knockoff of the Garfield cartoon (which wasn't even good enough to make the OP list). The only reason SWAT Kats went of air is because Ted Turner (creator of Captain Planet in 1990) thought it was "too violent" and since his company had just bought hanna barbara around 1992, decided to kill SWAT Kats.

In the end I respect your opinion, I just want to understand why.....
 
the beavers have fallen, abandon all hope

kill: Where on Earth is Carmen Sandiego
kill: Pokemon - in hindsight, I have no idea why I ever liked this anime series
save: Hercules - perhaps the only Disney cartoon that is just as good or better than the movie it was based on. There I said it

with the exception of Swamp Thing, I stick to only voting on shows that I watched

You guys killed Sailor Moon, it's just personal now...and I loved Eek!
SM was on every morning whilst I was sick in the hospital, and it holds a special place to me. It got replaced one day by Samurai pizza cats which is why I wanted that gone.

I can hardly recall SK to be totally fair.

I can understand the want for revenge. I loved sailor moon. If I'd been here sooner I would have been trying to save it over many of these shows. It was shows like that, ronin warriors, gundam wing, and dbz that brought me to anime. All because of Cartoon Network. Eek, actually wasn't that bad, but it didn't seem much more than a merging of Bobby's World and Garfield. Which I loved both of those as well. Maybe I'll switch my future kills votes to take out hercules as I don't remember that show being nearly as entertaining as its other serial disney counterparts. Honestly it's going to be pretty hard for me to vote for kills from here on out.

Though I don't understand why Tale Spin and Duck Tales is on there but Chip n Dale Rescue Rangers is not. Those three we're all equally great.

The only thing I remember about SK is that there's a character who shares the same voice actor with Skinner's mom from the Simpsons and Mom from Futurama.
 
KILL:Johnny Bravo
KILL: Where on Earth is Carmen Sandiego
SAVE: Superman The Animated Series

found Carmen to be bland and very, very formulaic even as a kid and Johnny Bravo just rubbed me off the wrong way. never found him funny. Superman animated starts off good, has a few boring episodes in it's mid -seasons and then ends on a very high note.
 
Kill: Ren & Stimpy
Kill: Ren & Stimpy

As a kid it sucked turning on the TV and seeing this was on and no other cartoons were. Watched it more recently and it's still pure trash.

Save: Bobby's World

I have no strong feelings for this show but it is definitely better than some left on the list.

Also was Pepper Ann ever on the list? It was a 90's classic, awesome show. I can't see it in the OP.
 
Kill Batman Beyond
Kill Freakazoid
Save Hey! Arnold

Batman Beyond didn't interest me like the other Batman Shows. I've never heard of Freakazoid so that's bad in its own way

Didn't even want to bring it to Ren & Stimpy like this, to be honest. But your crusade against The Radical Squadron is gonna cost you your show.

Kill: Ren & Stimpy - Nothing
Kill: Ren & Stimpy - Personal
Save: Swat Kats: The Radical Squadron - Another Saturday morning gone by, another of the Pastmaster's evil plans thwarted. Rest easy, T-Bone and Razor.
 
What I don't get, is the kill votes for SWAT Cats. Someone please explain. That was my favorite show on TV until the third season of Reboot (the one where Enzo is a badass). The combination of awesome music, an awesome jet that has a drop in motorcycle, awesome weapons, and a couple of brothers that run a junkyard and save the world. Don't get me wrong, I loved TMNT and most every other show on the OP list, but SWAT Cats seemed to have it all. Sooo....

Kill: Eek! The Cat
Kill: Eek! The Cat
Save: SWAT Cats


Some people on here believe Swat Katz to be another rip-off of TMNT, like Street Sharks, Extreme Dinosaurs, Cow Boys of Moo-Mesa (which was made by the TMNT co-creator), Biker Mice from Mars, Battle Toads, the list goes on, but the only thing they had in common were anthropomorphic characters. Other than that, the shows had completely different tones, attitudes, personalities, stories, characters, enemies etc... Hell, Jake and Chance didn't even follow the "archetype" for their personalities (Focused one, Smart one, Serious one, Goofy one), they simply had personalities. It's too much too explain for this thread.

OT:
Kill: Fantastic Max - Forgot this one was on here. Again, every bit of bad 90's children show corn is in this cartoon. It's just bad. The only character I grew to like was the over protective robot made out of toys. Max himself was very annoying and I'd ask who'd give their babies a hair cut like that, but facebook answered that already.

Kill: Carman Sandiago - Love the character, but the show wasn't very exciting or attention grabbing.

Save: Swat Kats - I really don't need to explain this more than I have.
 
Kill: Ren & Stimpy
Kill: Ren & Stimpy
Save: SWAT Kats

R&S, as I've mentioned, was just as how that never clicked for me. I see it has a large fan-base though, which means I need to keep voting every day or else it will get farther than it deserves to (in my eyes).

SWAT Kats, on the other hand, was a fun show. Not the best ever, but fun enough that it deserves to fight another day.
 
Kill: Ren and Stimpy
Kill: Ren and Stimpy
Save: Courage the Cowardly Dog

Looks like there's a big push to get R&S out this round. A lot of votes but it still could be a battle.

Saving Courage because I like the creepy atmosphere it could have.
 
Kill: Bobby's World
Kill: Where on Earth is Carmen Sandiego
Save: Ren and Stimpy

Bobby's World I watched quite a lot. I don't really know why. However, once I saw video of Howie Mandel's "baby" act, Bobby's World went from "meh" to nightmare inducing.
Carmen Sandiego was never as awesome as the game show.
Ren and Stimpy deserve to survive another day.
