Best Nickelodeon show bracket: And the winner is …

The Rugrats win!

In the wise words of Tommy Pickles: Sometimes, a baby’s gotta do what a baby’s gotta do.

And what the animated babies of Rugrats did in our ultimate best old-school Nickelodeon series of all time bracket was run the table and emerge victorious as a No. 4 seed, first defeating Rocko’s Modern Life, SpongeBob SquarePants and Hey Arnold! before beating Are You Afraid of the Dark and Legends of the Hidden Temple. All thanks to your votes!

Thanks to everyone for voting. Here’s the final bracket for you to look at to see how it all went down this past week:

Best Nickelodeon show bracket: Vote for your favorite in the Final Four!

And then there were four Nick shows!

And then, there were four.

We are down to the final four in our best old-school Nickelodeon series bracket, and thanks to your votes, there were some moves made in the Elite Eight.

Rugrats is the winner of the Animation region, taking down Cinderella pick Hey Arnold!

Are You Afraid of the Dark? defeated Clarissa Explains it All in the Live Action region.

I was shocked to see Double Dare go down to Olmec and Legends of the Hidden Temple, although I was a huge fan of both shows.

And All That was the only No. 1 seed to win any region, with a victory in Variety.

Time to vote for the Final Four by 5 pm ET! See below the bracket for the polls:

The Ultimate Breakfast Cereal bracket: Vote for your favorite in the second round

Things are heating up!

Thanks to your votes in the first round of our breakfast cereal bracket, many of the favorites — Froot Loops, Rice Krispies, Cheerios and Fruity Pebbles among them — went through to the second round.

But there were a couple of big upsets: No. 3 seed Cookie Crisp was taken down by Cocoa Pebbles. And I guess we underestimated how much people love Honey Bunches of Oats, because the No. 7 seed took down the classic Corn Flakes (seeded No. 2).

You know the drill: head down to the polls below the updated bracket and place your votes. There are some tough ones this time — Frosted Flakes takes on Honey Nut Cheerios and Golden Grahams face Fruity Pebbles. We’ll update this again at 10 a.m. ET on Wednesday.

DC vs Marvel: Who is the ultimate superhero?

We have a winner between Superman and Scarlet Witch!

What an upset! It seemed like Superman would be a lock for the title, but lo, he has been felled by the Scarlet Witch, riding high on her recent Disney+ success.

The poll shifted back and forth for the past 24 hours, with Superman staying in the lead for much of the time. Something changed during the overnight hours though, and Scarlet Witch had healthy 54% to 46% victory in the end.

In terms of sheer power that we’ve seen Wanda Maximoff throw out recently, it certainly seems like she could, at the very least, give Superman a run for his money. And, too boot!, she doesn’t have a weakness like kryptonite.

So, please salute your new winner in our Ultimate DC vs Marvel Superhero Bracket, the Scarlet Witch!

DC vs Marvel: Who is the ultimate superhero?

Superman vs Scarlet Witch!

Would this have been possible without the massive success of Disney+’s WandaVision? I don’t think so.

Our final match up is going to come down to Superman vs Scarlet Witch, something I would not have predicted when this bracket kicked off. Superman was almost a lock but I was hoping that Wonder Woman might give him a challenge. Alas, Superman had a solid 73% of the vote, leaving WW in the dust.

The Marvel matchup was much, much closer with Scarlet Witch eeking out a win with 51% of the vote. If this were an actual election, we’d have to go to a recount.

I gotta say, I love the final match up. Supes is the old school, chest thumping superhero of everyone’s childhood, and Scarlet Witch is a for a new generation of fans.

Vote now!

DC vs Marvel: Who is the ultimate superhero?

Superman vs Wonder Woman and Dr. Strange vs Scarlet Witch!

The epic showdown between Superman vs Batman was as close as expected, with Superman just squeaking out a 50.5% victory over Batman’s 49.5%. What was closer than expected though, was Wonder Woman vs Flash, which had about 55% of the vote going to the winner, Wonder Woman. I expected WW to be a route, but alas, it wasn’t.  Thor vs Scarlet Witch also was closer than previously imagined, which goes to show what a successful Disney+ show can do for a superhero’s brand.

Also unexpected, Loki getting totally creamed by Dr. Strange. A clear victory with 77% of the vote, and I gotta say, I’m disappointed. Expected more from the Loki stans.

Anyway, this brings us to our Final Four, with Superman facing off against Wonder Woman and Dr. Strange meeting Scarlet Witch.

You’ve got till 11am Friday, March 19 to vote!

DC vs Marvel: Who is the ultimate superhero?

Wonder Woman vs the Flash, Scarlet Witch vs Thor and, of course, Superman vs Batman

There were some close calls in the second round, as Scarlet Witch just barely beat out Iron Man to advance to the next round. Even though Superman vs Captain America started off as close, in the end it was a decisive 60-30 win in Supes’ favor. That may be hard to stomach for Marvel fans, but that dude can blow stuff up with his eyes, so he’s very, very hard to beat.

In the Round of 8 we’ve got Wonder Woman vs the Flash, Scarlet Witch vs Thor and, of course, Superman vs Batman. There’s no predicting how people will vote, but so far there have been few surprises in the voting. All bets are off in this round though, since comic book character loyalties will be tested.

You’ve got till 10am March 18 to cast your votes! Get to it!

DC vs Marvel: Who is the ultimate superhero?

Superman vs Captain America, Hulk vs. Thor, plus more matchups!

The first round of the DC vs Marvel bracket had few surprises, with most top seeds coming out as victorious.  There were some surprises in the voting, such as No. 8 seed Starlord even making a dent against No.1 Superman. I assume there are Starlord stans out there and while they didn’t win, they gave Jason Quill a respectable showing.

Other battles I expected to be much closer, like No. 7 Winter Solider vs. No.2 Batman, and yet, it was a pretty intense 70-30 split. Sorry to Bucky stans, but even a bionic arm isn’t a match for the caped crusader.

As we head into Round 2, the matchups get even more interesting, based not just on strength but straight up popularity. Superman vs Captain America, Hulk vs. Thor, Batman vs. Aquaman!

It’s getting real. Remember, you have until 10am March 17 to cast your vote! Go wild!

DC vs Marvel: Who is the ultimate superhero?

The Ultimate DC vs Marvel Superhero Bracket

It’s shaping up to be quite a week for comic book fans.

Zack Snyder’s infamous cut of the Justice League movie drops March 18 on HBO Max and Marvel’s long awaited Falcon and Winter Solider show debuts March 19 on Disney+.

To say DC and Marvel fans have been eagerly awaiting both releases for years is no exaggeration. And now, after so long, both are coming back-to-back which means the comic book cup really does runneth over.

To properly celebrate the bounty about to be bestowed, it’s time to rev up the well-worn but always fun Marvel vs. DC debate. We’re not talking movies this time, but overall characters. Instead of pitting franchise characters against each other, we decided to pit Marvel favorites against DC stalwarts, to see who comes out on top.

While some matchups —like Superman vs. Starlord—may seem like a slam dunk, never underestimate the devotedness of any particular fan base. Batman vs. Winter Solider seems like a no brainer, until you remember that Bucky has been trending every day on Twitter for the past week.

Anyway,  you have 24 hours to make your first round picks before polls close. Happy voting!
