Also, regarding Home Movies.

If you haven't seen it, do it!
It's from Brendan Small, the same person who did Metalocalypse of all things.
It's a very down-to-earth show about some kids doing movie-making (ala Super8), with their dysfunctional group of adult role models.

Coach McGuirk is an unending source of sound life advice.

Spoiler

The only failing of Home Movies is that it is on the not-the-90s precipice with Spongebob and Weekenders.

 

[Schmo Florez]

You should give Doug save vote if you feel so strongly about it.

Well maybe I will.

Kill: Hercules
Kill: Hercules

DOUBLE KILL!

Absolutely. This show didn't really click with me as a teen, but they don't do a good job of showing that it's supposed to be a more adult show. I know a lot of people hate the animation style, but Home Movies is seriously hilarious. If it's still on Netflix, please give it a shot.

Doug was an awesome show. One of the really solid Nick cartoons. Courage the Dog doesn't deserve to be on the same list as those other shows.

You mean the list with Hercules, Recess, Aladdin, and whatever the hell Eek the Cat is? Courage was one of the most creative cartoons on there. I don't wanna kill Doug but if it saves Courage I definitely will.

 

[massoluk]

We have come to the ultimate question, "Who deserved salvation, Doug or Dog?"

It's clear, that Doug deserved your help. Vote Doug, save Doug. Fuck Courage.
*Paid for by shadowy organization in no way related to Eek the Cat.

 

[MikeHattsu]

If I really have to choose I'll save Courage instead of Eek :\

Kill Doug.

 

[vikki]

I love that dog. I don't love that Doug. You set your sights on Courage? You must be crazy. Using the save Doug to push your kill courage agenda? Doug diesnt deserve to be killed yet, but that dog is a hero. I saw the things he did for love. I will do what I can to save that dog.

Yep. I like Doug, but gotta throw his ass under the bus if it means saving Courage.

Thank you so much for that video: put me in stiches. The play scene is still great.

It's not entirely surprising how much of the show was adlibed.

 

[weekend_warrior]

Kill: Eek the Cat- how could anybody watch this and think it was a good show?
Kill: Hercules- There's only room in this world for one Hercules, and it's Kevin Sorbo.

Save: Doug- Gotta keep Doug in.

 

[KalBalboa]

I'm excited to see how this round finishes up. Lots of variety in the kill votes.

Lol. He's the first person that comes to mind when I think of Hercules.

 

[weekend_warrior]

I've got more shows to add to the list-

Taz-Mania
Inspector Gadget
Pro-Stars

That brings the full list of shows to add to-
Dr. Katz
Bob and Margaret
The Magic School Bus
Taz-Mania
Inspector Gadget
Pro-Stars

 

[Schmo Florez]

Inspector Gadget was excellent. I always assumed this was an 80's show that got re-ran in the 90's.

As much as those shows would be apporpiate on here, I'm sorry guys but it wouldn't be fair to the other shows on this list to add them in this late.
The list is the list.
If you had wanted those shows on this list, I gave lots of time for it to be suggested.

As for Beast Wars it was only added because it was on the list before and somehow dropped off when I was copying the list.
Thanks.

 

[A Human Becoming]

The list is the list.
This is my final answer on that issue.

No more trying to change how voting works then.

Sorry about being so mean about that stuff.
You can discuss voting changes.
I was just tired of people asking for stuff to be on the list.
We locked it in a while ago.
I didnt mean to be so harsh about it.

 

[BinaryPork2737]

Inspector Gadget was excellent. I always assumed this was an 80's show that got re-ran in the 90's.

You assumed correctly. Had to double check to be sure, but it's from the mid-80's.

Yeah, you even had to reboot the thread after I bickered (sorry again).

There was a time to add shows. Maybe we can do another 90s show thread sometime with a different type of voting.

 

[A Human Becoming]

I'm saying let's keep voting the way it is. If the shows are staying the same, the voting should too.

 

[TheAbsolution]

Sure. I have no problems with that. At least until the top 10 because a show per day for that will be fine.
Speaking of which, next round(not tonight) will be likely to have 3 exclusions due to the re inclusion of Beast Wars. We need to get it back to a even number of shows again.

Kill: Eek the Cat- how could anybody watch this and think it was a good show?

Because it lampooned pop culture and movies long before Family Guy and South Park. And Sharky was awesome...and so were the Terrible Thunderlizards.

I purposefully avoided looking through all the votes. I saw some real variety this round, but I didn't inspect and tally anything.

Seems fair to me. That show was going to last a while, anyway.

Kill: Recess
Kill: Aladdin
Save: Freakazoid

Recess was ok enough for me, but I think it's not as strong as other shows that aimed for the same material (Hey Arnold, for example).
Aladdin wasn't terrible, but I was never a fan of the show. I also think we're at the point where we're running out of genuinely "bad" shows and running into "less good" shows that need to be cut.

 

[LordCanti]

Recess had one save? Fair enough, time for it to go. I'll leave it as Recess/Aladdin for now and wait.

Kill: Recess
Kill: Aladdin
Save: Swat Kats (will change if needed)

I never liked the Aladdin TV cartoon, although it seemed pretty high quality in terms of animation (could be nostalgia goggles talking). Recess was always boring to me and if no one bothered to save it other than one person last round, why are we keeping it?

Swat Katz was great when I was a kid. It's another one of those "I don't know if it holds up, but man was it awesome at the time" shows.

 

[BinaryPork2737]

Kill: Aladdin- The movie was pretty decent. The cartoon is not great. The difference in quality is far more staggering than say, Hercules, which was pretty bad itself compared to its movie, with how bad the cartoon is. I like Dan Castellaneta's other work, mainly the Simpsons, but Robin Williams is Genie. Plus it's set after that terrible direct to video sequel, Return of Jafar. It marked the first direct to video Disney production, a standard that has not lead to good things. I just don't like it.
Kill: Aladdin
Save: Freakazoid- From what I've seen of it recently, it's kinda good. It gives off Animaniacs vibes, and that's generally a good thing. I'd rather let Recess die than this.

 

[ЯAW]

Kill: Aladdin
Kill: Freakazoid
Save: Home Movies

Nothing against Aladdin but it has no place in top10 or even top15. It's going, sooner or later. Seeing how we send three shows out this time, I'll save my another kill vote for now.

 

[Aeriscloud]

Kill : Swat Kats

Kill : Swat Kats

Save : Aladdin

I didn't like swat kats, and I watched Aladdin daily before school. ( I won't be that sad to see it go though.)

 

[KalBalboa]

This thread is making me seriously want to go back and check out Swat Cats.
