And as this first decade winds down, how about your favorite shows of the 21st Century Aughts? Aaaaah, the Two-Thousandsies: I remember them well.
Mine, which turns out to be very comedy-heavy...

Mine are also mainly comedy. Or sci-fi. Or both...
1. The Mighty Boosh

2. Peep Show
3. Spaced (ok, started in 99, but carried on into the 2000s)
4. Doctor Who (the new series)
5. Firefly
6. Black Books
7. The Office
8. Torchwood
9. Ashes to Ashes
10. The Thick of It
I'm sure I've missed out something major, and I know Torchwood and Ashes to Ashes are both a bit silly, but they have entertained me. Could have been worse, I could have picked The Tudors...
Honourable mentions as well to Buffy and Queer as Folk which carried on into the 2000s but I counted as mainly nineties.

You definitely should. I was totally hooked (but didn't have Showtime so I'd have to wait for the DVD releases). It's such a great mix of drama and comedy (and did I mention the guys are hot?).

I'm intrigued. Was it the same characters/plot at all or completely different? I suppose it must have been something similar. One of the best things about it was the soundtrack, though, and if they had Suede in the US version I will be extremely surprised.
Ooh, that reminds me of:

From what little I remember of the Brit version (I haven't seen it in years), they have some similarities but not a whole lot. Both shows center around a group of twenty something friends who go out clubbing and cruising for guys and both start with the "stud" of the group picking up a teenaged boy who becomes infatuated with him (though the boy in the American version is a few years older than the one in the Brit version).
However, the American version lasted for 5 seasons, so it was able to cover more issues and dig deeper into the lives of its characters than did the British version. I don't remember what exactly the British version covered, but the American version touched on coming out, gay bashing, AIDS (one of the men has an uncle who is dying of AIDS and also he ends up in relationship with an H.I.V. positive man), bug-chasing, cancer, drug abuse, parental rights, and gay marriage (and I'm sure I'm missing some things as well). But, of course, it's not exactly a political show or a public service announcement for the gay community. It's full of sex. Lots and lots of sex.

If it's on when I'm channel surfing, I'll watch it. It's interesting what sort of crazy obstacles they come up with. Also it's fun to watch people fail.

Just came across this thread.
1. "The Sopranos"
2. "Curb Your Enthusiasm"
3. "Arrested Development"
4. "Deadwood"
5. "The Office"
6. "Peep Show"
7. "Slings & Arrows"
8. "Weeds"
9. "The Colbert Report"
10. "Breaking Bad"
11. "Spaced"
12. "30 Rock"
My honorable mentions that just missed the cut would be "The Office" (U.S.), "Psych", "Strangers with Candy", "Huff", "Law & Order: Criminal Intent", "Scrubs" and "Andy Richter Controls the Universe".Great list. "Slings & Arrows" and "The Colbert Report" are the only shows from your top 12 I haven't seen, but I either really like or love all the others. But I'm curious, Holden, what do you not like about "The Wire"?
As for my favorites... "The Sopranos", "The Wire" and "Curb Your Enthusiasm" are definitely my top three. Followed by "Freaks & Geeks" (if you'd count it), "Deadwood", "Scrubs", both versions of "The Office", "How I Met Your Mother", "Spaced" and "Breaking Bad".
Also, I've recently been watching "Community" and "Modern Family", both new favorites of mine that never fail to make me laugh.

Suppose my favorites are comedy-heavy too.

I don't watch much TV, but I have recently become addicted to The Sopranos.

How far into it are you, Hitch? I finished seaon 4 episode 10 this week.
I think the thing I like most about the series is that, so far at least, it's been uniformly good. No real peaks or troughs, IMO, just consistantly very good.

Definitely agreed on that, HK. I finished the first two seasons and will probably be starting the third sometime this week :yup:

Indeed I was. I've not yet seen any of the other Underbelly seasons, as they're yet to air over here. :(
Does anyone else in the UK remember The Murder Game? I bloody loved that.
