Inspired by The Sopranos and The Shield threads, I decided to make this thread so everyone can show their appreciation, recommend their own favorite TV shows, and also critique TV Shows from the 2000s era.

Here is the list of TV Shows I watched from the 2000s era:

Breaking Bad: A pretty solid show, but I personally think that it's hard to rewatch. I liked Hank's arc, and I think that the writer fumbled on how to end his character. I also liked the many galleries of villain in this show, except for the Nazi crew.

Sons of Anarchy: Same category as Breaking Bad, but I think Sons of Anarchy is worse because of the ending and also because of the black member arc, where he rats to feds because he's afraid that he can be outed as a nigger because of a damn rule that hasn't been enforced for a long time is retarded. Katey Sagal's big uns is what made me determined to finish this show.

Mad Men: It's a meh. I don't like Don Draper as a character; I personally can't root for him as a protagonist because he already has it all. He already has a sweet life, but he constantly fucks it up for no reason. I don't know, maybe I don't really get the point of this show. The 60's and 70's setting were pretty cool though.

The Sopranos: Really, though, what can I say more about this show that hasn't already been said by the fellow farmers on this site? Although, if I may add, one of my favorite aspects of this show is that every side character is fleshed out and given an appropriate amount of screentime, except for Patsy, because he's my favorite side character from the show.

The Shield: Same categories as Sopranos but I think The Shield is a bit better because of the edginess and also the ending. Any other cop shows can't top The Shield. Heck I might rewatch it now for the fun of it.

Nip/Tuck: Currently in the middle of season 2. I think this show is a bit slog to watch. It's a shame, though, because I think it had a great premise, and I really like the pilot of this show.

Frisky Dingo had the potential to be better than Archer ever was and I'll die on that hill.

BTW OP you titled this "TV shows from the early 00s"then list Breaking Bad, Mad Men, and Sons of Anarchy...
The waif wigger from Breaking Bad was doing TV commercials for Coca-Cola and starring in Korn music videos in the early oughts. He was nowhere near good TV.

was thinking of making a thread were people could just talk about the TV shows they watched. but this thread will do.

i finished watching the HBO show of Rome awhile back and i liked it. they did a great job to immerse you into the show with its top notch acting and dialogue. felt like i was actually send to a place that may well have been the actual Rome. what surprised me is was how much nudity/sex there was in the show. you dont really see that in TV show anymore or maybe im just not looking hard enough.

almost done with The Wire but i write about it when i finish the show.

Lost was a pretty big deal. It was the one show I was heavily invested in during the switch to HD.
Miscellaneous for the era, it's also when my local cable company started expanding their service and loosened their death grip on movie channels by walling them behind premium cable packages. Mainly, AMC. Apparently it was a really great time to be watching that channel, and I didn't mind them censoring content at all due to the novelty of having a channel that was mostly movies and some well edited video packages during the ad breaks. Of course, it's completely unwatchable now.

Lost has been on my watchlist for a while, but I heard that the last few episodes were a downer. I try to give it a watch, though.

I forgot to mention Dead Set, a show about the Big Brother cast surviving the zombie apocalypse. It's good, although the douchebag producer character is cartoonishly evil, but a must-watch nonetheless if you're bored and want to watch something that doesn't require so much time because the show itself only had 5 episodes.

So is most of cable in this day and age. It's detrimental value might be one reason why people are hoisting up antennas.
The network "Movies!" is leagues better than AMC these days, and you don't really need to pay for the former.

It doesn't help that modern-day children are squeamish, helpless, and Warner Bros. are interested in making HBO no different from their basic cablecasts.

Xena and Hercules, anyone, or is that too early for this thread?

Xena and Hercules were 90s

Farscape was a good show that was mostly in the early 2000s

And of course, there's always Fringe.

The first three seasons of Fargo are just about peak TV for me. Of course, somewhat tarnished by the unwatchable 4th (nigger) season. But the first three are absolutely fantastic. They're so dense with storylines, great performances (pretty much Billy Bob Thornton's last hurrah, apparently), and great homages/references (done the right way, not the JJ Abrams "LOL THIS IS JUST LIKE FOOTLOOSE" way). Really the best Coen Brothers stuff in well over a decade, even though they were barely involved. You can tell in the third season when they started to let the DEI/ESG/wokeisms trickle in, with things taking a very (while satisfying) un-Coenlike turn at the very end, which of course, led into the pile of shit that is the 4th season, and the end of the show (whether from ratings or Noah Hawley giving up, IDK), but even so, that third season still has a ton of great stuff in it.

House was by far my favorite. First three seasons were flawless and it started to become a very different show after the mental hospital arc.
The early 2000s Sci-Fi channel (before it became the lame "Syfy") had a lot of really good shows, some of which I wish lasted longer. Most people have probably heard of Farscape (really good) , maybe The Invisible Man (decent) or First Wave (okay), but there were some pretty obscure ones that were interesting concepts and well done, but barely got a full season, like The Chronicle or The Secret Adventures of Jules Verne.

I remember that show.
Only 6 episodes so really it's a long movie and it is pretty good.

Some shows I remember liking back in the day:

Monk
Ex-police officer now private detective with severe OCD helps the police with solving really difficult crimes.
It's really funny and the crimes and ways in which Monk solves them are quite inventive.

The Norm Show
Technically from 1999 but it didn't air where I lived till 2000 so it counts.
Norm McDonald's short lived sitcom, pretty funny stuff, check it out if you need a laugh.

Wayward Pines
Something a little newer, a mystery/thriller/horror show produced by the man himself, M Night Shayamalan.
Guy wakes up in a town, doesn't know how he got there.
Locals are preventing him from leaving, he decides to find out why.
The show only has 2 seasons because after a great season 1, the story was basically over and they made some bull shit story that was completely different in the 2nd one, nobody liked that.
Watch only season 1, it's a complete experience anyway.

Legion
Very vaguely based on X-Men, it tells a story of a dude locked up in a mental asylum and sedated out of his mind to the point of not remembering most of his life.
He gets rescued by some """mutants""" and taken off drugs which makes him slowly remember thing and then... something in his mind awakens and comes after him.
Even if you dislike capeshit, give this a watch, season 1 at least.
It's amazing.
It's very stylish and creative, it blends genres really well and you will remember it for a long time after seeing it.

Basically if you turned a 2000's National Lampoon Sex Comedy movie into a TV series about College Football. Its stupid, lowbrow, and funny as hell. If you want something light to watch from a begone era that focused on entertaining males from 14 to 26 this is the show. Stars Amazon's Jack Reacher before he became an absolute wall of a man. (And is a really good comedic actor).
