These high-rated shows perfectly capture the atmosphere of the noughties.
The 2000s was the time when the epic run of Friends came to an end and the fan-favorite The Big Bang Theory first hit the screens. The new Golden Age of Television has started, giving rise to a plethora of wonderful sitcoms that are still enjoyable to watch today.
Here are Top 8 comedy shows of the 2000s, ranked by their Rotten Tomatoes score.
8. How I Met Your Mother (2005, 9 seasons, rated 84%)
The overall ratings for the show about tedious romantic Ted and his friends are not as high because the last seasons were received more coldly. But the ones that came out in the 00s proved to be the best, cementing the show's cult status.
7. The IT Crowd (2006, 4 seasons, rated 85%)
The series about the employees of a London IT department will stay in our hearts forever, thanks to the vivid characters and wacky humor. Just don't trust them to fix your PC!
6. Community (2009, 6 seasons, rated 88%)
Although much of the Dan Harmon-produced show was created in the early 2010s, Community's atmosphere follows the spirit of the 2000s, deftly balancing surrealism, meta-irony, and everyday humor.
5. Curb Your Enthusiasm (2000, 11 seasons, rated 92%)
Written and produced by Seinfeld co-creator Larry David, the show has forever captured the essence of American sitcoms of the 00s. Larry plays a fictionalized version of himself, and there is no one funnier on television than him.
4. Black Books (2000, 3 seasons, rated 93%)
If you can't get enough of British black humor, Black Books is a great option for you. Dylan Moran satirically captures the grumpiness and misanthropy of everyday life in Britain, and the misfortunes of the protagonist and his friends are presented in an incredibly funny way.
3. Flight of the Conchords (2007, 2 seasons, rated 94%)
Flight of the Conchords tells the story of two New Zealand shepherds who decide to pursue their love and music careers in New York City. The show's unique humor makes it incredibly memorable.
2. It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia (2005, 15 seasons, 94%)
The show debuted in 2005 and became popular thanks to its brilliant black humor. Following the Gang, the unsuccessful owners of a decrepit pub, the series showed that sitcoms are not always about charming people and don't necessarily end happily.
1. Peep Show (2003, 9 seasons, 96%)
Another British classic that perfectly captures the mood of the 00s, the series follows the daily lives of two misfit friends who share a flat in South London. Spiced with dark humor, Peep Show humorously explores the themes of human suffering, loneliness, and evil that arise within the most ordinary people.
