this is the let – on my brother Reese it
squeaks Oh night look many people refer
to this decade as the second golden age
of television and these shows are the
reason why it cannot arrest a husband
and wife for the same crime
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top ten
decade defining TV shows of the 2000 oh
god you’re killing me oh god you’re
killing me for our series on the top ten
decade defining shows per era we picked
series that spoke to the period in which
they were made
and set the standard for television
during that time still mistake his body
odors for candy problems definitely in
his brain these shows were chosen for
how important they were in the 2000s
regardless of when they started or
finished another murder
number 10 CSI crime scene investigation
not now no you need to see this both of
you now this shows had a few different
spin-offs set in a few different places
but the Las Vegas set original has
remained our favorite the procedural cop
show follows the lives of forensic
criminalists who solve seemingly
impossible cases by gathering and
examining physical evidence and it has
inspired an entire genre of imitators
but nothing beats the original oh god we
love the stories but it’s the
unforgettable characters like Gil
Grissom who really make this series
memorable make sure you include this in
your field notes as well as the stylized
violence that challenged the acceptable
limits of television in the new
millennium to undercover guys outside
two dead bodies inside makes you feel a
little paranoia
not paranoid enough I’ve seen at last by
Etta James great song number nine
American Idol come along
deep down most of us want to be rock
stars and this show played on our
desires it put aspiring vocalists
through competitions where singers were
eliminated weekly based on fan voting
until only one remained that lucky
competitor would then get a record deal
and be crowned the American Idol it
launched the careers of superstars like
Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood and
helped push the reality TV trend even
further
however as we saw in the often
hilariously bad auditions it also helped
us realize that not everyone’s cut out
for a musical career week after week
multiple songs you know more than anyone
so it’s like if they can’t handle this
heat
second is broiler number eight the
office comedy is very much alive as our
homeless people though this mockumentary
started off as a remake of Ricky Gervais
sprit –is– comedy of the same name it
quickly forged its own identity bucking
traditional sitcom trends by working
with a single camera and without the
help of a laugh track yes that’s a good
point
she is a good point the show concerns
the lives of the zany employees of the
Scranton Pennsylvania branch of the
Dunder Mifflin paper company apparently
you called Oscar faggy yeah for like the
movie Shakespeare in love more than an
action movie it wasn’t just an action
movie it was die hard bizarre characters
like the obnoxious boss Michael and the
quirky pencil pusher Dwight gave the
show a unique sense of humor so much
sleep Jim false I do not miss him
it also tugged at our heartstrings as we
couldn’t wait to see if or when Jim and
Pam would finally hook up
number seven lost why did you choose it
this show alienated fans with its finale
don’t even but the thrilling adventures
that led to its conclusion were enough
to earn it a spot on our list
week after week we couldn’t wait to see
what would happen to the survivors of
oceanic flight 815 as they tried to
survive on the tropical island where
they were stranded
their stories became even more
compelling as we learned more about them
and the mysterious island they inhabited
we have to go now popular in the ratings
popular at award shows and popular with
critics lost is a cult hit that
continues to drive viewers nuts and
doing that required a tremendous amount
of patience number six
Family Guy okay everybody time for
paintball oh I forgot to pick up the
paintball guns well we could use these
I brought him from the office this
animated sitcom was so beloved by its
fans they convinced Fox to bring it back
after its cancellation good thing I just
watched that National Geographic special
on fire trucks a solitary killer the
fire truck stalks its prey it won
viewers over with its mix of pop-culture
references slapstick humor and gross-out
gags damn it you guys are boring the
crap out of me stupid mindless chatters
what it is you know what I’m gonna do
just gonna go back to my place and rent
a dirty movie but Seth MacFarlane’s
brainchild also contained a hilarious
satire of the American family with the
Griffins at its center Lois our
relationship cannot be measured in
nipples and times I mean nickels and
boobs money a seemingly normal family
composed of quirky and unforgettable
characters like the buffoonish dad Peter
and the evil child Stewie oh well this
is this is business Oh
oh don’t even get me started The
Simpsons for a new generation
Family Guy reminded us that not all
cartoons are for kids be honest I can’t
imagine a worse kind of hell and
unfortunately hell is probably where
he’ll end up because the Christians
don’t look too kindly on the whole
forest thing number five survivor first
tribe to finish gets the tarps first
three to finish get immunity last to
finish tribal council somebody going
home
it’s hard to imagine now but reality
shows once weren’t very popular on
broadcast TV that is before this series
came along and they blew up in the 2000s
thankfully for us viewers survivor
brought reality to the networks in a big
way before home watching identify with
me I’m like a person at home watching on
the couch remember I was the couch
potato it showcased contestants trying
to outwit outplay and outlast each other
in desolate locales in order to win a
million dollars I’m thinking you know
what
take your time Jonny Fairplay slow and
steady wins the race
every season introduced a compelling new
cast of unpredictable competitors really
Travis spoken and we loved watching them
interact in gorgeous places like the
Australian outback we have nothing to
sustain us through the morning today or
paying for fish we have only two hooks
right now
number four How I Met Your Mother on the
house it’s my own concoction I call it
the red dragon thanks we’re not really
doing shots over years here’s a romantic
sitcom that used quirky humor without
letting it get in the way of the show’s
dramatic impact we only get one life so
why don’t you come over to my apartment
right now and we’ll think of something
stupid to do together really great wait
really
the series used a unique framing device
to tell its story where protagonist Ted
is in the future telling his children
about how he met their mother oh my god
are you gonna cry of course the
character who really stole our hearts
was Neil Patrick Harris –is hilariously
foul-mouthed playboy Barney oh you got
to give me this one those five shots got
you farther with Robin than your brain
ever did considered friends for
Millennials this show and it’s a samba
cast may have disappointed some with the
finale
but how i met your mother was a
mainstream success with a cult following
with the other guys the older guys who
never showed up and whose approval they
now crave so we’re their dads
exactly number three The Daily Show with
Jon Stewart
anyway what I was what I was saying was
last Thursday saw the start of a new
ground offensive launched by Israel Oh
this show was around before Jon Stewart
but he made it into a pop-culture
sensation you’ve lost Kim jong-il dead
Qaddafi dead Osama bin Laden dead who do
you play cards with now after replacing
Craig Kilborn in 1999 Stewart upped
fewer ship by a whopping 400% thanks to
his biting satire and political
commentaries you know there are ways
that we can decide whether or not I have
it’s like a career aptitude test and it
can help I’m launching pad for future
stars like Stephen Colbert and Steve
Carell the new and improved Daily Show
received particular attention during the
run-up to the 2004 presidential election
son of a bitch bought a drink for his
drink
if that’s not wasteful spending I don’t
know what is where the indecision 2004
segments hilariously shed light on the
absurdities of American electoral
politics Stewart later became more
serious taking pundits like Jim Cramer
to tasks you have a favorite shape for
that home office would you like that
office would you like Deb corners or
would you like it not to have corners
all right
number 2 the wire do you promise to tell
the truth the whole truth and nothing
but the truth so help you God I do if
it’s late entertainment you seek this is
probably not the show for you well do
you feel that Mikey do you feel it
because I swear to God that is my dick
in your ear if however you’re okay with
feeling depressed while watching TV this
powerful drama might suit you
this HBO series portrays decay in the
city of Baltimore by focusing on a
different organization each season
however depressing as it may be what it
can also be laugh-out-loud funny
major crimes she
labeled the best show no one watched so
to speak the wire is gritty dark and
realistic it’s also a favorite of
President Barack Obama so it’s got that
going for it too come on we’re
celebrating before we unveil our pick
for decade defining show of the 2000s
here are a few honorable mentions
hi
anyway I went into the stall uh
generally when I when I use a public
toilet I’ll go into the stall as opposed
to the urinals
I find this you know there’s no privacy
and if there’s no dividers it’s kind of
like going on a trough right direct what
did the fab bankers side of the face
what learn by doing why couldn’t I do
that I hated him at that moment this
might provide an advantage actually go
is considered to be a particularly
psychologically revealing game there are
profiles for every player that
conservative point counter the aggressor
the finesse er what kind of player is
listen so you’ll be packed into a few
neatly wrapped Hefty’s in my own small
corner of the world number one The
Sopranos I trust what did these guys
make sure as we’ve seen there were many
great shows in the 2000s but this series
easily killed the competition hmm it
took the tired trope of the mob story
and made it fresh by focusing on the
family life of Mafia Don Tony Soprano
it’s me and humanized him by showing his
therapy sessions I don’t know I guess
some not as optimistic as I once was
James Gandolfini’s incredible
performance as Tony anchored the drama
depressive personality unstable
impossible to please but the rest of the
ensemble was equally as strong did you
call me
another show that proved premium cable
supremacy in the scripted show
Department The Sopranos was well written
well acted and well-loved by many really
is beautiful isn’t it
do you agree with our list that was
excellent what TV show do you think best

memorable top 10s published every day be
