Reply #19: I'd go further.

I'd put Lost, Six Feet Under, Arrested Development, Mad Men, Weeds, The Sopranos, Breaking Bad, 30 Rock, Dexter and Battlestar Galactica in a top 20 shows of all time list and all of them are from the '00s.

TV sucked in the 80's and 90's. Then it got better when HBO and Showtime got into the field and started recruiting writers, directors and actors from films.

Most reality TV sucks, but The Amazing Race and Biggest Loser are both watchable and even have moments of real profundity.

If you don't watch TV on principle, I respect that. But to say '00 TV is worse than '90s TV is just silly.
