Best TV of the 2000's

[Hugman 3.0]

A couple that deserve mention:

Party Down
Band of Brothers

Once and Again [ABC]

Really? I don't really have an opinion on this show, but I did get my SAG card doing regular extra work on it.  I was an employee of the dotcom she worked at.  Had my own desk and everything.

[Joe Rogaine]

Brass Eye paedophile special

Jam

Looking forward to Four Lions its supposedly going to be one of the films at Sundance i believe. What about Always Sunny didn't see that mentioned much.

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

I forgot all about this i meant to check this out after seeing the clips on youtube especially the anger management clip.

Once and Again [ABC]
Really? I don't really have an opinion on this show, but I did get my SAG card doing regular extra work on it.  I was an employee of the dotcom she worked at.  Had my own desk and everything.

Incredible.  The third season falters a bit, but the first two seasons are masterworks.  I'll look for you on my DVDs.

[Wes]

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

This is, honestly, the best thing Dominic West has been involved with outside The Wire since The Wire started.

I don't know much about this show. Is it comparable to Gilmore Girls? I love Gilmore Girls.

I should add Sunny in Philly, I know it's not everyone's cup of tea but there is something to be said for a show centered around the worst examples of human beings.

[masterofsparks]

It probably wouldn't make my top 10 or anything, but I like the first couple of seasons of That 70s Show. The best stuff aired during the 90s, but by Omar's rules, it's eligible for inclusion.

[Bryan]

I throw in my vote for Tim & Eric, Awesome Show, Great Job! for their originality and purity of vision. Also, the Daily Show was amazing for the first few years of the decade.

Aqua Teen Hunger Force S1 and part of S2
Sealab 2021 S1

[Andy]

Sealab is tremendously underrated

I forgot all about the greatness of Adult Swim. I'd add Metalocalypse and Home Movies to that list. I also thought of The Mighty Boosh.

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.

Really? Consensus among almost everyone I know is that 1 and 3 are obviously fantastic, but 2 and 4 are the real masterpieces. Speaking from a Euro-centric viewpoint here. Would be interesting if there was a transatlantic difference.

While I'm here:

The Wire
The Armando Iannucci Shows (this is a truly wonderful piece of television which seems destined to go down in history as 'sorely underappreciated'.)
Arrested Development
Peep Show
The Thick of It

[DS1077]

The last two seasons of "Strangers with Candy" were in the 00's.  So, yeah.

Well I tried it and couldn't make it through the first episode.
I'd like to follow this statement by saying Party of Five is and incredible masterwork, which is almost as misguided and wildly dismissive as Omar's comment.
It just felt too much like a typical ABC drama. There is a reason there are only a few primetime network shows I like.
