This whole list got really contorted imo, except for the top two which will be utterly predictable.
Kill: Batman
Kill: The Simpsons
Save: Hey! Arnold

How so?
It was those back door deals to take out certain shows in order to save other shows.
Really, I expect the list not to turn out how I like it. The one show I really think deserves to be a top ten show that didn't get the respect it deserved was X-Men. I don't think there was any other show that had the hype behind it. No matter how it "held up" the show was huge in the 90's. If you were a kid in the 90s then chances are you spent more than one Saturday biding your time until X-Men started.
i watched it, yeah. i was always more excitied for spider-man.
i didn't really like batman a whole lot as a kid. when i was a teenager, i began to respect it a lot more as i caught it on reruns.
plus, your measure isn't really a great one. i used to bide my time until captain planet and eek the cat too.
Spiderman was cool. It was disappointing that the show turned into some mental breakdown for Peter Parker, but I guess that happens a lot with the Spidermans.
I don't consider Batman a saturday morning cartoon because I remember it playing on the weekdays and then later the reruns were played on the weekdays.
I really disliked Eek the cat for a long time, but I came to enjoy it a little just before I stopped watching saturday morning cartoons altogether.
X-Men was Fox's Saturday morning flagship show. There were other cool shows on on Saturdays, but that doesn't take away the fact that X-Men was the bread and butter of that block of cartoons.
Captain Planet almost made my top 10. I really liked it as a kid. I would watch reruns early in the morning during the week. Looking back I can see how terrible it is, to the point that it's kind of funny. The fact remains that I liked it as a kid. I based all my voting on what I watched as a child because I will not go back and watch 90% of the shows on the list.
Kill: Powerpuff Girls
Kill: Hey Arnold
Both good shows, but their time is up. They don't compare to the remaining two. Action-wise, Batman beats PPG any day. Simpsons kills Hey Arnold as an insightful family show.
Strange, quiet round. Batman fans are already trying to kill Simpsons in this round and Simpsons fans are all-in going after Batman. Insecure people who don't think their favorite show can beat the other in the final round showdown?

Hey, check out this histogram of the scores for the top 10!
(score being kills minus saves)
The first thing you see is the total exodus of people from the thread! Over 100 kills in our first top-10 round, and only 60 or so in the last. Some of this is a case of the one-use save policy, but looking at kills alone:
We see a similar downward slope, as people are accepting the "inevitable" Simpsons/Batman final, and quitting.
Other interesting observations:
Hey Arnold is disliked by a rather solid voting block, but it's never sufficient to kill. As shows drop off, clearly none of the people voting on them are moving their votes to Arnold, and you see growth in votes for all other shows, until one of them loses, and the votes distribute again. Dexter's Lab had a really quick discovery/lynching, going from no votes to losing in 3 rounds.
(score being kills minus saves)
Using the data that Absolution provided in each result, so generally only the top 5 of that round had results, but he gave some extra info several rounds ago, and I extrapolated some inbetween data.

Probably Hey Arnold. It was going to get killed off many times before, but a few saves usually ended up saving it.
On the topic of the anti-Arnold block:
Kill: Hey Arnold
Kill: Simpsons
I still didn't care for Hey Arnold, and that hasn't changed since yesterday!
The Simpsons because I voted for batman yesterday, and it really is hard picking between the two.
I'm still hoping to do some thread-wide analysis of all votes, but I don't really have any time right now to figure out how to pull out the data, so I might end up bumping the thread a week after it's all done.

I'd say that DBZ got the most hate. Arnold just has a long slow burn of general un-like.

Markster, I could PM you all the spreadsheets that have available.
Some days were lost but you can fill in some of them with the results that I posted.
reboot got the most hate. it was voted out about a week earlier and had almost as many all-time kills. it also holds the record for most kills in a single round.
dbz was sort of unanimously voted out, much like batman beyond and rocko's modern life.
I read that post as "of the shows in the top 10, which got the most hate".
Reboot is the Cyborg Ninja of this competition. Did a lot of damage and went down fighting before getting killed.

I can't really vote anyone off, and Batman and The Simpsons are probably the top 2 (something I like) I cant do anything more than wait and see the results. Cant really kill anythong if I like all of them.
And it still placed too low!
Yeah, basically. A top ten show easily due to it being the first of its kind. And then everything else about it after that.
Kill: Hey! Arnold - New age Peanuts wannabe that never came close.
Save: PPG - Eat your pea, Professor.
explain your vote.

One round winner takes all.
Two kills return with one save system returns with no double kills.
Unless you guys wanna do something different.
Voting is now closed for the likely second to last round.

Why is Batman on there twice?
One of them is beyond.
I haven't had time to think about it, but I guess that's fine. It probably gives all three shows a chance in a way that a straight up 1-3 list wouldn't.

The voting really really slowed down. Is it because people are salty? They don't care who wins? They love all the shows and can't vote to kill one of them? They don't like any of the remaining shows? or is it because they just lost interest all together?
Go to bed, I'll vote on your behalf.
edit. Wait? Everybody gets a save vote? I have been saving my save vote for nothing!

No point anymore, anything that was quality but not expected at the end of the countdown is gone, and after all this somehow fucking Hey! Arnold ends up in the top 3?
I'll vote just to end this farce...
Kill: Hey! Arnold you should have rightfully died well before the top 10...but whatever
Kill: The Simpsons
Save:Batman:TAS deserves to win
Make sure you properly format that Save for maximum...uhh....legitimacy. Eligibility? Whatever.
