Best 2000s Sitcom

See this content in the original post

From January 1, 2000, to December 31, 2009, a crazy amount of comedy series aired on American television. Some great, some terrible, most in the middle (just like Malcom). This week, host Eric Rezsnyak and panelists Amma Marfo, Curtis Creekmore, and Kevin Dillon empty out their TiVos and make their pick for the Best 2000s Sitcom. Among the shows discussed: Parks & Recreation, The Office, King of the Hill, That 70s Show, South Park, Frasier, Reno 911!, Modern Family, Everybody Hates Chris, Community, Sex and the City, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Arrested Development, Everybody Loves Raymond, Family Guy, Will & Grace, Friends, and many more!

Finished Part 1? That’s not a Y2K glitch above — you can listen to Part 2 right now for the rest of the debate!
