Rugrats d. CatDog (34-3)
Well Angelica tried to vote for CatDog but Tommy and gang foiled her plot again. No surprise here.
TMNT d. Goosebumps (33-5)
We're not shell shocked here, although I did expect Goosebumps to show us a little more fight.
Are You Afraid of the Dark d. Clarissa Explains it All (21-16)
This one came down to the wire but the strong 2 seed pulled away late at night. Coincidence? Probably.
Fresh Prince d. Dinosaurs (33-5)
We've seen Will Smith defeat aliens and vampires... why not Dinosaurs?
Today we tackle the 3 v. 6 match ups. We haven't had an upset in the first two days. Let's see if Day 3 provides some fireworks.
NickToons Bracket
(3) Ren and Stimpy vs. (6)AHHH!! Real Monsters
Ren and Stimpy
Like Rocko's Modern Life, Ren and Stimpy really pushed it with the adult humor. This was the original Nick Toon too. It was laden with fart and shit jokes and man we loved it.
AHHH! Real Monsters
I remember this one but I was never too fond of it. Something just didn't sit right with me. Maybe the Monsters freaked me out. Hey maybe someone liked it.
Saturday Morning Bracket
(3) Animaniacs vs. (6) Power Rangers
Animanics
This one also pushed the limits of children humor and it did a great job of it. Probably the most educational of all the children shows at the time, Animaniacs was compilation show that gave Pinky and the Brain it's start. What a show.
Power Rangers
It's not a coincidence that I hooked up Animaniacs and Power Rangers since there was some beef going on between these two shows. As cheesy as it was, Power Rangers was kind of sweet. It was also as close to a phenomena as a show can get. There were toys, movies, posters and all that jazz. Some of us probably got pretty deep into it too. I was never that big into it, I was always a Ninja Turtles Guy, but I do think I still have the movie on VHS somewhere in my parents house.
Nickelodeon Bracket
(3) Legends of the Hidden Temple vs. (6) The Adventures of Pete and Pete
LotHT
What a showing it had in the play in round by cruising past it's game show rival, Guts. Word on the street has been that the final Hidden Temple game carried the show. I have to agree
The Adventures of Pete and Pete
I get the feeling this wasn't as popular as Salute Your Shorts and Hey Dude, the three of which ran shit in the "non-SNICK" Nickelodeon shows. When it comes to standing the test of time, look no further than Pete and Pete. Go ahead, check out an episode, and you'll see that it was laden with themes that still work with adults (not that we're adults or anything). Plus it had the coolest intro song yet.
TGIF and Such Bracket
(3) Saved by the Bell vs. (6) Full House
Saved By The Bell
The definition of classic 90's television. There may have been some shows in this tournament that just didn't get watched but every single person watched Saved by the Bell. The characters have become such a part of our pop culture lore that when I say something like "that guy is the Zack Morris type", everyone knows what I mean. Right away. And AC Slater on the toilet? We all know that one. Amiright?
Full House
The Tanner family easily defeated Sabrina the Teenage Witch in the first round. Can they keep it up against the show many feel can go all the way?
