We’ve found 64 of the most popular cartoons of the 90s and seeded them based on their number of episodes. Thus, the higher seeded shows are the shows that ran the longest. In order to narrow it down from the top 64 to the top 32, we’ve broken the voting up into four days representing the four regions of the bracket. On Thursday, voting will be open for the Pokemon region. Monday voting will be on the Simpsons region, Tuesday voting will be on the Dragon Ball Z region and Wednesday voting will be on the King of the Hill region. As we narrow down the list of cartoons, we’ll include a few details about the shows in order to help you make your decisions.
