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
The Dean in Community is one of the funniest characters of all time
The mascot of Community still gives me nightmares
Malcolm in the Middle takes the top spot for me. Every actor/actress brought the character to life so well and it was just so cleverly written
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 !!

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.
Scrubs is my all time favorite show and will always be
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
Parks and rec didn’t get enough credit for how great of a show it is
one of the most underrated shows ever made
The IT Crowd, Scrubs, Parks and Recreation, Malcolm In The Middle are 4 of the best shows I have ever watched.
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...
Enjoyed Malcom in the Middle, but Scrubs reigns supreme from this list for me. Don't think there was ever an episode I watched that didn't have me laughing out loud at least once.
It’s nice to see Rules of Engagement getting some recognition! Such an under-appreciated show!
I was thinking the same thing
Was hoping to see My Name is Earl. Unbelievably underrated
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 😂
Im 31 and I just learned Malcolm's last name being Wilkerson. I can't recall this being their last name, holy hell I'm old lol
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.
Brooklyn nine nine and Entourage should have been on the list. Not just on the list but even the top ten.
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
Community should be higher on this list, especially after the traction it gained once it got onto Netflix! This definitely put some other shows on my radar, though. 👍
Scrubs deserve way more than 10 place!
Community at number 11 is a slap in my face
And Scrubs at 10. Both must be top 5 easily.
While I'm really happy "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" made the Top 5, you made it sound more melodramatic than it actually is. Despite that, these are good choices for the list.
Yes. You've the right #1. I can't say I fully agree with other placements but none can beat your #1, not just of that decade but in history, even better and more relevant than Friends.
I'm glad they gave Malcolm in the Middle a good ending with malcom and reese graduating high school
The IT Crowd is great, but why is it the only non-US show on this list? Are you saying that 19 of the best 20 sitcoms of the 2000s are American?
I’m glad some shows made it to the list. There’s some comedy shows I haven’t seen, but some are one of the best. I love The Office, Everybody Hates Chris, Malcolm in the Middle, etc. Great list Watchmojo! 👍🏻
Scrubs is still the funniest stuff to behold 🥰🤣
George Lopez is one my favorite shows that came out in the era. Two and a Half Man was so good until Charlie and Jake left the show which went downhill. 8 Simple Rules was so amazing, it’s sad that John Ritter died. Loved the Reba show, i remember watching it all the time when it was airing.
George Lopez show is legendary. They should have took Big Bang “Trash” Theory off this list and put George Lopez Show up there instead.
You have to do a "Top 20 Greatest TV Sitcoms of the 2010s" and it has to include SUPERSTORE, one of the best of that era.
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.
The Goldbergs was epic.
... I miss community
Arrested development is one of the most under rated shows ever
Brooklyn Nine-Nine and Superstore deserved to be on this list
They only considered sitcoms that came out from 2001 to 2010.
i dont know if everyone hates chris but will smith definately does.
Why is The Big Bang Theory ranked higher than Community ?!? Community is better in every way !
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
"It's not everyday you get to see a show continue successfully after killing of their main character". I beg to differ.
Agreed was kinda boring after Charlie sheen left
All the main characters in Modern Family are stock character stereotypes.
Two and a Half Men under the Charlie Sheen era should easy be top 3. Though with Ashton Kutcher it shouldn't even make the list.
I Love Scrubs, Two And A Half Men, How I Met Your Mother, The Big Bang Theory, Modern Family, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Rules Of Engagement, Reba, Community, Malcolm In The Middle and The Office.
Community should be so much higher.
That’s tough because it’s a pretty good show with a great cast.
As someone from the UK I'd have to put The Thick of It on this list. Although its a bit too realistic at times lol
Man, some of my childhood favorites got snubbed.
"My Wife and Kids"
"Hope & Faith"
"George Lopez"
"According to Jim"
I am very happy that "The Office" is in the first place
It is a genius TV Sitcom, but its kind of comedy is not understood by many.
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.
the ep "the work outing" in the IT crowd is A PERFECTION
I am surprised that everybody loves Raymond, king of queens, and George Lopez didn't make the list. These are my three favorite shows of all time
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.
The Office, Arrested Development and It's always Sunny are the top 3 for me. The writings in Arrested Development from S1 to S3 were freaking fantastic.
Sunny is supreme
Big Bang Theory may be the worst TV show of all time. There. I said it.
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.
The Middle!!! How do more people not know how great THE MIDDLE was??? A way more realistic and funny portrayal of a lower middle class American family than anything I've ever seen on television.
can you do the top 20 tv sitcoms of the 2010s?
I love The Office and The Big Bang Theory
won't include that '70s show because it debuted in the 90s, yet majority of its run was during the 2000s. But will include Parks n Rec despite it only airing for a single year in the 2000s...
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?
Well this just proves that I'm 22 years behind on my TV watching. The only one of these I've seen more than 3 episodes of is Arrested Development... and I watch it over and over again.
There’s always money in the banana stand
Not sure who couldn't like 'Rules od engagement', only after seeing one episode. Such a smart and funny sitcom
Kath and Kim, Friday Night Dinner, Peep Show, Still Game
These are some non American comedies/sitcoms from the 2000s i love!
Imagine Sheldon in covid pandemic crisis
oooof
RIGHT?
*more* annoying
One great British sitcom should have been on the list Black Books. Watchmojo why did you not include this gem of the early 2000's?
I was thinking of that 70 show :)
I can't believe not even with a 20-spot countdown, nobody takes notice on "Titus", which I think was genius. Only lasted a couple of years and I know nobody that watched it but it was great, if a bit raw.
A favorite one for me, but admitedly probably not that well-written, was "Grounded for Life".
How Brooklyn 99 missed this list? It should be on top 10 easily
Note to self, never meet the people that think The Office is better than Scrubs or Malcom. My name is Earl should be here also 🙂.
No disrespect seen all three and office is clearly superior and also understand y it’s the most popular .
Always have a soft spot for parks and rec
The IT crowd is so underrated
The Big Bang Theory will always be the best, "You are in my spot". 😆
George Lopez Hated It When I Saw It On Nick at Nite now I really like it probably my favorite show that aired on Nick at Nite/ Nickelodeon that wasn't Animated
If The Office wasn't number 1, I honestly would've unsubscribed 😂
Malcolm in the middle is the best 2000s sitcom.
I would put it at least top 5 but I think it’s 4th on the list.
Oh yeah that show is really good.
Two and a half men being 20th is crazy
That Big Bang Theory is over Parks and Recreation is a crime. But at least The Office is at the Number 1 Spot were it belongs!!
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 .
I've seen a few episodes from most of these shows, and some the whole way through.
TBBT, 2 1/2 men, HIMYM, Malcolm, Rules of Engagement and Community are some of the best shows of all time!
It's unreasonable to put the US version of The Office at 1, but not include the UK original.
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.
Parks and Rec should have been top 10
Def
I think it should be number two right below office
I totally agree with number one! But I do think Parks and Rec should be higher. I personally think it rivals The Office. I also really love IT Crowd and Community.
Strongly agree with number 1 🫡
The people person’s paper people.
Parks and recreation should be much higher
Brooklyn Nine-Nine is so much better than most of the shows mentioned in this video. Period.
Personal opinion I think it's always Sunny needed to be in the top 3
2 weeks ago i watch Malcolm in the middle on Disney+ Hotstar for the first time,and no wonder why people love it so much. Everytime i listen to the song the series used they always mention the series which makes me interesting to watch. And then i watched it for the first time and i love the series so much, it's a Shame the series still have 3 season.
I never even realized they were all made at the same time, pretty amazing.
Honable mentioned: New Girl
Why did The US version of The Office become much more popular after it ended? What put most people off watching it during its 8 year-run?
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
Please do one for each decade starting with the 50s
It’s hard being a Big Bang theory fan in the comments
Arrested Development > the office
30 rock need to be made in the top 10
No Bernie Mac Show or My Wife and Kids?
Flight of the Concords is hysterical. I prefer you "either get it or you don't" comedy.
That show is really good. Not many people are talking about that show because it only had two seasons and it was on HBO.
THE MIDDLE!!!!! The best family sitcom that never seems to get the love it truly deserves.
Community is my number 1. But I would settle for top 5. Maybe because its not as mainstream as the others
I appreciate y'all putting Always Sunny in the top 5, I guess - even if you put HIMYM above it.
FOTC would've been much higher for me. Comedy and musical gold.
i was hurt on how low parks and rec ranked, but arrested being 3 made my heart happy
I got a few episodes into ‘The Office’, ‘30 Rock’, ‘Parks & Rec’, and didn’t find any of them funny. ‘Community’ is #1 in my eyes.
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 😄
Good call on party down. An underrated (and basically unknown) gem.
no! I honestly think to make a list like this it has to be a show that ran mostly in the decade. so if a show premiered in 1998 or 1999 but most of it's run was in the 2000s that show should count because it really is a show from the 2000s since that's when most of it's run was. for example I think it's stupid to count shows it started out in 2008 or 2009 because those shows would have mostly ran in the 2010s.
Sunny should be #1
Am I the only one, but.....ummmm My Name is Earl was a freaking banger of a show.
Where's Peep Show? A million times better than the Big Bang Theory.
Brooklyn 99 should have been on this list
No it shouldn't have. It's a great show, but last time I checked, 2013 is later than 2009.
I’m sorry but TBBT and The Office should be the top 2 without a doubt, they were by far the most popular of the 2000s, and featured some of the most iconic characters to date. They both have pretty different senses of humor but everyone loved one of those two shows.
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?
Scrubs #10?! C'mon. Way funnier and beterr than TBBT, Modern Family and HIMYM.
Scrubs should be top 5, it’s funny and educational, it also got serious when it needed to be
top 5 is pretty accurate i would say so. office has to be 1 , curb is still airring as well (i hope)
What happened to the ginger thumbnail? 😑😑😑
Loved everybody hates Chris
Nick at nite aired this great childhood
Oh yeah that show is one of my favorites. Kind of underrated show.
Man half of these shoes came tail end of the 2000s
No "Extras"...no "Extras"....no "Extras"
