I'm defining a 2000s show as one in which at least a full season aired after 1/1/00, thus disqualifying Freaks and Geeks and Sports Night

Biggest disappointment of the decade: Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip

Have not seen but own on DVD: Friday Night Lights and The West Wing (have seen some of The Sorkin Years, but not enough to issue any judgment)

Most fans of The Wire will tell you seasons 1 and 3 are the best, but I agree with you. I think when things strayed away from the central Barksdale/Bell/Stanfield plotline it actually made the show better.

[Chris L]

The Wire seasons 1-4
Generation Kill
The Corner (haven't seen all of it)
The Wire: It's All Connected (making-of doc)

Pretty much all the good ones have been said, so I will add all of Peep Show and ask the host to please close this thread now as it has clearly run its course.

 Oh yeah, and King of Queens. What?

Peep Show S1 and 2 made me laugh harder than anything in the history of TV.  "No, you're not a paedo."  "Good thing you were wearing your boots."


I've been rewatching Arrested Development on DVD and it really is as good as it seemed at the time.  I'd put a plug for the American Office and the British Office but for different reasons.


Michael Emerson's performance on Lost.

I agree with a lot of the above and I don't care what anybody says... I love Big Bang Theory.

That's my Dad's favorite show, Gibby.  It was also very popular with the rest of my extended family (on the other side) at Thanksgiving.


I watched a seven-minute Sheldon's best jokes mix.  I don't love it, but I don't hate it.  That show (and even 2.5 Men) is so much better than According to Jim, Home Improvement, even Everybody Loves Raymond (all the fat guy-hot wife stuff) that I can't put it in the dreck category.

I only discovered this very recently, but the 13 episodes of Saxondale brought me more joy than any other TV series.
