It's a new day, which means a new installment in Complex's Best of the 2000s series. How can we sum up the Aughts? Another decade of our youth lost to the boob tube. We could've run a marathon, we could've started our own business, we could've joined the Peace Corps. But we didn't. Instead we spent hours (upon hours upon hours) parked in front of our television set zoned out like crackheads. There ain't no shame in our game—in fact, we're proud to share our extensive knowledge of the idiot box with our totally comprehensive guide to the 100 Best TV Shows that aired from 2000 to 2009. Grab a drink, your favorite snack, and of course the remote...

So you're trying to tell us that there have been a hundred good TV shows in the 00s? Oh, puh-lease. No wonder you had to include a million crappy cartoons and King of Queens at 2-friggin-6!!! Such an inane, overstuffed list once again.

This list is fail at #100. Flavor of Love should not be included anywhere that includes the word best unless it's immediately followed by trainwreck.

Man, you left out 3 of the best/better shows of the 2000s. Survivorman - 10 times better than Man v Wild. Dealiest Catch - Crab fishing in the Bering Sea, dealiest job in the world and edge of your seat excitement. You have a lot of crappy "reality" shows on your list and you leave this one off?? The First 48 - Real life murders, real life investigations. Maybe you should look outside, MTV, Comedy Central and Cartoon Network for real quality shows!

The Boondocks wasn't on UPN for 2 reasons: UPN has been CW for almost as long as the Boondocks has been on and the show was made for and originally aired on Adult Swim.

This list is completely unacceptable for not including Breaking Bad
