The Best SITCOMS of the 2000s

[Bucho]

What do you guys reckon?

I reckon probably something like ...

1. 30 Rock
2. Veep
3. The Office (UK)
4. Peep Show
5. Broad City
6. Atlanta
7. New Girl
8. Silicon Valley
9. Louie
10. Futurama
11. Flight of the Conchords
12. Community
13. Parks & Recreation
14. Children's Hospital
15. Eastbound & Down
16. The Thick of It
17. Party Down
18. Vice Principals
19. Insecure
20. Malcolm in the Middle
21. The Office (US)
22. Brooklyn 99
23. Scrubs
24. Extras
25. My Name Is Earl
26. Modern Family

Note I haven't watched Arrested Development, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Bojack Horseman, Archer or Always Sunny in Philadelphia yet. Everything else I am snubbing on purpose or just somehow forgot about, in which case did it really deserve consideration? Naaaaaaah.

Note also that I'm talking about shows which kicked off since 2000, hence no South Park or Friends or Freaks & Geeks.


EDIT: Also added Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt to stuff I haven't seen yet. A VERY IMPORTANT note considering 30 Rock is my #1.

I heard Crazy Ex Girlfriend is pretty fun. Haven't heard much about the others. There are so many of these things now it's tough to keep track, which is why, like a genius, I made the thread.

Which are your faves (of the entire millennium)?

Parks & Rec was the very rare sitcom that just gets better and better each season. Most of them start to run out of ideas around S4, but that show just went from strength to strength to strength all the way till the finale.

I didn't even know Garfunkel & Oates had a show, but that does remind me I have watched most of Riki Lindholm's show Another Period which is pretty fun.

Haven't seen Catastrophe yet even though I do enjoy Sharon Horgan. And of course I know B23 from Chemda, I don't know why I wasn't putting 2 and 2 together.

I heard Fargo was pretty top notch Piff Daddy but never heard it described as a sitcom.

Always Sunny just started its 12th season and honestly is just as good as the first time I saw it. There's one or two duds each season but it's consistently hilarious and original (and they even filmed some episodes in Philly this season!).

I've never laughed harder at a series than the first time I watched the original run of Arrested Development. The pacing and structure of all the jokes in that show, perfect.

Top 5:
1. Always Sunny
2. Arrested Development
3. Curb Your Enthusiasm
4. Parks And Rec
5. The Office

Until you watch Arrested Development, I can no longer respect you. Get onto it.

Fair call. I watched the first 3 or 4 eps a few years ago and enjoyed it but like a damn slacker never got round to watching the rest. Same with Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Nice to see a less expected ranking than usual. It's weird I can't think of any sitcoms that haven't been mentioned yet but there must be a bunch.

Hmm The League was pretty good. Chemda's other favorite hasn't been mentioned yet, Bob's Burgers. And Chemda's other favorite, Grace and Frankie.

I saw a few eps of The League but it didn't stick. Not that I thought it was cack, I just had too many other things to watch I liked more. I foolishly haven't seen Bob's Burgers or Grace and Frankie yet.

Which are your favourites?

Just remembered another unmentioned sitcom, The Good Place. Not in my top 5 but I enjoy it.
