mm shows you forgot were awesome it is a

before we begin we publish new videos
every day so be sure to subscribe for
more great content for this list we’re
looking at shows that aired primarily in
the 2000s but we will be considering
shows that touchdown with a season or
two in either the 90s or the 2010s of
course what matters most is that these
shows were great and have been largely
forgotten far too quickly so I guess now
we know it’s not a good compromise if it
makes three out of four people as
miserable as a snail and a salt shaker
it’s better to do stuff we all like
number 10 Dark Angel to hang and discuss
art but I got a jet this ambitious cult
classic created by James Cameron and
featuring Jessica Alba in a breakout
role captured viewers attention with its
cyberpunk setting and strong female lead
Alba played a genetically engineered
super soldier part of Project Manticore
created by the US government prior to a
terrorist cyberattack that crippled the
country looking for me the series
follows Alba’s character max as she
attempts to reconnect with her
genetically altered brothers and sisters
while being hunted by the secret
organization that created her
sadly Dark Angel aired on Fox and it
became one of the many cult classics to
be cancelled by the network before its
time
the only kind of physical contact you
and I are gonna have number 9 what I
like about you you you are fascinating
what a life you’ve lived it’s
fascinating this show centered on Holly
a quirky teenager in the uptight older
Val two estranged sisters forced to live
together in New York City with a
colorful cast of friends and loved ones
the lovable and relatable characters
were one of this shows
biggest drawers where’s Jeff you should
be back any second actually you might
want to step away from the door
despite the show steady ratings the WB
the network it aired on was failing and
ultimately merged with UPN only a
handful of shows from each Network
carried over to the new station
christened the CW and sadly what I like
about you was one of the mergers
casualties
I know it’s mannish and homely but on
the bright side they made me pay for it
number eight Boston Legal don’t waste
your time kinda get in my head there’s
nothing that the final season of the
popular legal drama the practice
introduced Allan schore and a number of
his associates at the firm of crane
Poole and Schmidt after the end of the
practice the members of Kranepool and
Schmidt received their own spin-off with
both James Spader and William Shatner
returning as Shore and his partner Denny
Crane respectively
much to the delight of viewers the show
didn’t shy away from fourth wall breaks
and Star Trek references they call them
Klingons do you think the legal drama
won acclaim and viewers for its quick
wit doing well in the coveted 18 to 24
demographic reaching a hundred episodes
and earning multiple Emmy Awards step up
here counsel this is never good when
they asked me to step up number seven
nip/tuck take me back to bed Prince
Charming filled with bloody surgeries
sex addicted characters and more vanity
than you could shake a scalpel at
nip/tuck proved to be an on point
commentary about humanity’s worst and
most basic impulses dressed up as a sexy
drama
unlike other medical shows which have
generally focused on doctors who save
lives this FX series fixated on plastic
surgeons dr. Sean McNamara and dr.
Christian Troy were both dark troubled
and their personal lives were also very
watchable
of course helping it stand out in the
genre was its decision not to focus on
episodic plots but season-long story
arcs it ended in 2010 but is still worth
a watch today do you realize when the
last time was I flew anything but
first-class I could give a shit
number six Kyle XY everyone taking
stupid pills around here juice me when
this sci-fi high school drama premiered
it became the highest-rated show in ABC
family network’s history Kyle XY began
with the discovery of a strange boy in
the woods with no memory no clothes and
most puzzling of all no bellybutton
despite his hyper intelligence and
ability to learn almost anything
incredibly quickly
Kyle’s social skills were slow to
develop and he had a difficult time
adapting to high school and navigating
social relationships including new
adoptive siblings and his first crush no
goodbyes see ya unfortunately a dip in
ratings sought cancelled after three
seasons few people remember it now but
in its heyday it was a big deal and
worthy of the hype I don’t know where I
belong I don’t know where I come from
number 5 x-men evolution come on
professor unpacking a bazooka behind
each eyeball while other x-men shows
have stuck in the public memory this one
from the 2000s despite earning critical
praise has somewhat been forgotten among
casual fans and what a travesty the show
updated the team for the new millennium
recasting many of the heroes as teens
attending Xavier school and updated them
to reflect modern attitudes and social
issues some friendly fast teach
don’t nestle Oh while it was influenced
by contemporary sources like the x-men
films and Ultimate Universe it also
became influential in its own right it
inspired other x-men media in terms of
theme and style and introduced original
characters most notably the young female
clone of Wolverine
x-23 number for the weekenders this
saturday morning cartoon followed for
middle school friends on their weekend
adventures the diverse characters
included a relatable cast the tomboyish
and brave lore the stylish and cool
Carver the nerdy vegetarian Tisch and of
course the leader of the group though
wacky teen oh so this is looking like
the ultimate weekend oh hi it’s Tina
with it’s well written characters strong
relationships and interesting plot lines
it proved very popular though this
should have guaranteed its legacy it’s
not remembered as well as other cartoons
of the era it did a bit of network
hopping within the Disney family which
may have played a factor but seriously
given that it was once dubbed quote the
show that killed Pokemon the weekenders
should not be forgotten so this weekend
need to have twice as much fun to make
up for last weekend’s major tragedy
number 3 monk I don’t have an abundance
of hope let me enjoy the little I have
airing on the USA Network Monk became
arguably the most watched Network TV
show of the decade equal parts comedy
and drama it followed Adrian Monk a
detective with Sherlock Holmes level
talent but a laundry list of compulsions
and phobias is that why you wash your
hands every two minutes probably his
strange attitude both hilarious and
tragic and many many eccentricities made
him an endearing and likeable character
the show also called back to detective
stories from another era bucking the
recent trend of detectives who solve
murders using fantastic tech monk
followed clues and used his intellect to
crack every case he came across for fans
of current detective shows who missed it
you should definitely check out this gem
from the aughts
I guess I’m back to square one
number two Chuck Chuck what are you
doing
escaping this fresh take on spy shows
featured Zachary Levi as the titular
character a brilliant but under
motivated twenty-something who has a
supercomputer downloaded into his brain
the supercomputer known as the intersect
makes Chuck a valuable asset and so he
begins working with CIA agent Sarah
Walker and NSA Major John Casey the show
deftly balanced spy thriller elements
with emotional plot lines involving
Chuck’s double life as the show went on
critical acclaim grew but viewership
declined mostly due to major competition
in its timeslot
nevertheless devoted fans helped the
series achieve renewal multiple seasons
in a row culminating with a final fifth
season what about me though
you in KC are super spies Morgan’s the
intersect
well my what’s my job Jack you’re our
leader number one Deadwood
I don’t trust you as far as I can throw
you but I enjoy the way you lie
westerns may have fallen out of fashion
decades ago but this often overlooked
gem from HBO is considered by many to be
one of the greatest Western TV shows
ever let me get a large gesture but
we’ll work something out
sadly far too many people have no
recollection of it airing on premium
cable Deadwood had the freedom to be as
violent and gritty as the Old West
something the show took full advantage
of based on and set in the town of
Deadwood South Dakota in the 1870s it
used historical figures and events as
inspiration for the series
regrettably HBO decided not to renew
Deadwood after its third season ending
it tragically short we must end our
connection you understand that Frances
make a sufferance you think fair you
know all equivalent
