Top 20 Greatest TV Sitcoms of the 2000s 

I did watch how I met your mother but may have missed some episodes cuz it gone on way too long

the big bang theory and the office

Reba is my go-to.

The IT Crowd is my favorite on this list & I only liked 2003-2006 Arrested Development

We need a list for the 2010s

Thank you very much 👍🏿

Shame they didn't put My Wife and Kids on there

8 simple rules with john ritter was funny as hell but it wasnt the same after he died and u can tell the jokes didn't hit as hard as they did when he was on the show

@@thenewjord50 way better than a few of the shows on here.

Thank you very much.

Ngl last week was my first time watched the series on Disney+ Hotstar and i love it so much. No wonder why people love the show that much and called the best sitcom.

It's so great, the early 2000's fashion warms my heart haha.

LOVED,, absolutely loved Malcolm in the Middle - found it hysterically funny, with Bryan Cranston as the dad, and Dewy, Reese, Francis, and of course the poor crazy mother, Lois !!

@@wmperkins25 Dewey is absolute fucking genius

The mascot of Community still gives me nightmares

until med school was added - killed the show

@@nickvoncloft4566 ya I believe that didn't happen,it was a fever dream

@@nickgosh4192 i hope youre right lol

I've watched thru scrubs. At least 30 times, always end on 8 lol. 9 was just a horrible dream, community had the whole gas leak season when Dan Harmon got fired. But at least that season was funny and not forced

Facts

one of the most underrated shows ever made

Parks and Rec was so disrespected.😭 It deserved to be top-5. 13 is WAY too low

if these are your top 4 then my man you should definitely watch the office, it's a great show and falls into the category of your favourite shows.

@@shiliseifeddine5140 the office is overrated no thanks

@@shiliseifeddine5140 The Office was so over hyped that when I finally watched it, it's just ok. It's good but all the over selling of the internet about its "amazingness" just left me underwhelmed. I loved Srubs, Modern Family and TBBT over it.

@@Luke-cu7bf idk how people like the office.. I just cannot get into it...

I was sitting here, like I cant believe My Name is Earl isn't on this list, this is crazy

They missed a lot of other good ones as well. Raising Hope, Hope & Faith, My Wife and Kids, George Lopez, According to Jim. There are probably a lot more I'm not thinking of. 2000s had a ton of great shows.

Raising hope yes, most of the other ones I'm not so keen on, but that's me

Either way missed a lot of bangers 😂

I was thinking the same thing

And Scrubs at 10. Both must be top 5 easily.

I think the show went out of its way to not show their last name

I think it may have been shown only in the finale. I only realized about five years ago and I watched the show a ton as a kid/teen

Oh honey, if you think 31 is old, you're in for a real treat over your next few decades! 31 was 25 years ago for me.

Word brooklyn 99 was the shit

Brooklyn nine-nine premiered in 2013

They need to make a list of top 10 comedies of the 2010s

99 wasn’t in the 2000s……..

Agreed, Big Bang Theory is dogshit and doesn’t belong here

George Lopez show is legendary. They should have took Big Bang “Trash” Theory off this list and put George Lopez Show up there instead.

I've never watched it before until the great quarantine of 2020 and binged the whole thing. Soooo good.

Yeah, I expected absolutely nothing from that show, watched because I worked at WalMart, but it was a solid comedy.

You obviously haven't seen Mrs Brown's Boys - that's a thousand times worse.

@@andrewjones575 I don't even want to think of a show that could be worse than Big Bang Theory. That is difficult to comprehend

Early seasons were gold when it was new and fresh. Then it got pretty repetitive.

@@lfgubrs TBBT is great until s3, when Bernadette & Amy join, and it's changed from a great sitcom about single people to a mediocre one about couples & families.

They only considered sitcoms that came out from 2001 to 2010.

Probably because TBBT is much more popular.

@@andrewjones575 Well, I think they confond popularity and quality.

I agree. I like the Big Bang Theory fine, I need to watch more of the show especially the finale. I didn’t watch the finale three years ago.

I agree

Agreed was kinda boring after Charlie sheen left

The comedy is not difficult to understand dear lord. I love the office but people seem to want to convince themselves that the show has incredibly intelligent humor for some reason.

people who hate office are those who need laugh track to know when something funny went by

People can hate the office and that’s fine. It doesn’t mean they’re stupid

@@Glupshitto911 I did not say that those who hate the office are stupid and everyone is free to have their own taste in comedy.

It has millions of fans, so it clearly is understood by millions of viewers.

Sunny is supreme

That’s tough because it’s a pretty good show with a great cast.

No disrespect seen all three and office is clearly superior and also understand y it’s the most popular .

I would put it at least top 5 but I think it’s 4th on the list.

Oh yeah that show is really good.

2 of your 3 came out mid to late 90s. if they hadn't it definitely would be up here

George Lopez would have been in top 5 for me but they always forget about show.

​@bremaster93 yeah, that's cuz it's very forgettable, sorry.

They had to pick some criteria, they chose premiering during that timeframe. They do a lot of videos about "best X of Y decade" and the criteria is consistently about the premiere date. They'll likely do a best sitcoms of the 90s list too (if they haven't already) and include that 70s show. Personally I think the year where the show premieres is best because otherwise it becomes complicated. If South Park was going to be on a list, it started in 1997 and is still going. If you were to select the decade that it aired the longest, that would have the entire 2000s and 2010s. The decade where it was most popular, what about ongoing shows, or shows that gain popularity after they end?

There’s always money in the banana stand

oooof RIGHT? *more* annoying

the US office is a more popular show than the brittish one no one can debate that, it is however based on the brittish series BUT its still its own show.

Def

I think it should be number two right below office

Nah park and rec isn’t unique or funny enough it’s was more basic in a way also the one I least laughed for in the sitcoms mentioned that I watched .

Just Van Gogh thing

I don't think people were ready for single-camera sitcoms. We were just coming off an era of classic sitcoms with background laughs. I, for one, did not like whatever clips that I had seen of The Office before I actually started watching it.

It lasted 8 seasons ....TV stations dont pay for shows that people arent watching....maybe your circle of friends didnt watch it, but it obviously was watched enough to keep getting renewed over and over

@@guardianali I'm not talking about my friends; I'm talking about its viewing figures, which weren't high. It's much more popular now than it ever was from 2005-2013.

It lasted 8 seasons that means people watched it lol

Same here! Tried to get into The Office and Parks & Rec and just couldn’t do it. But Community is so quirky and utterly ridiculous (at times) that it fits my humor perfectly 😄

That show is really good. Not many people are talking about that show because it only had two seasons and it was on HBO.

Oh yeah that show is one of my favorites. Kind of underrated show.

The Office yes but not TBBT, many people complained/complains about the laugh tracks and the show being unfunny without the laugh tracks. It's only the younger audiences that find the TBBT funny and most adults really don't. Jim Parsons had to carry the show hard imo, without him the show would have gotten cancelled very early. Watchmojo did a pretty good job with the top 5 here.

@@Abison07 tbh I don’t rly agree with that, as a teen, very little of my friends watch that show, but when I tell them I watch it, a huge majority of them say “oh, my parents watch/love that show” As for the laugh track, obv it can be annoying at times, but the show def isn’t funny without it. It just seems awkward without it cuz there are literal 10 second pauses between each line and no background noise whatsoever, which isn’t how the sitcoms without laugh tracks are written. But this show has so many unimaginablely iconic, creative and geniuses written plots that can’t be found in any other show. I also don’t think it was entirely Sheldon that carried this show, it was Sheldon and Penny’s dynamic together that carried it, and it still remains one of the best dynamics in sitcom history. Raj and Amy severed as amazing side characters as well. The only real problems with this show is Howard’s creepiness, Leonard’s lack of personality for a main character and Bernadette’s one-dimensioness that didn’t allow us to explore her character more and make her memorable. But the other 4 characters were amazing and audiences would agree, this show deserves the top two

@@starchanneljoseph Arrested Development S1 to S3 are better than the whole TBBT series. Also shows like It's always Sunny have much better creativity and flaws, and funnier than TBBT and doesn't rely on one character. That's why they are ranked higher than TBBT. Like I said, WM did a very good job with the top 5 here. Watch AD, It's always Sunny, Malcom in the Middle, Scrubs. TBBT is more popular, yes, because its target is the younger audiences, but popularity doesnt define the greatness of a show, this is not a list about most popular 2000s sitcoms. And yes Sheldon carried TBBT, ever wonder why he gets a spinoff and literally no one cares about the other characters now?

Larry is awesome. Have you seen his tribute speech to JLD when she got the Mark Twain prize?

watch the original UK show, a lot better....

@@peterang6912 I saw a couple of episodes, wasn’t impressed. Ricky Gervais thinks the American version is better. Get over it

@@batgurrl why do i need to get over it, i understand the English humour...

@@peterang6912 it’s NOT funnier or better. Like I said, even creator Ricky Gervais thinks so. You are entitled to your opinion and I won’t change my mind. I was watching Monty Python’s Flying Circus on PBS in the 1980s. Your condescending attitude about ‘getting British humor’ is hilarious and infantile. I’m guessing you are 15 years old. Bye bye

Haley being stuck with Dylan & two kids she can't afford is good?!
