Top shows of 2000s

So, this list made me mad. I found it incredibly narrow in focus and really Ameri-centric (not that a list of my own making wouldn't suffer the same problems). I'm going to run a poll and hopefully come up with a top 10 or 30 shows of the 2000s. Comment with your nominations, including any shows mentioned in the poll. Any genres are acceptable, as long as they ran for at least a technical season during the 2000s (being canceled during said season still leaves them eligible). Number of nominations will not effect the first round of voting.

Nominations will run until November 21.

Making this public so it has the chance of being unbiased, therefore I ask you NOT to pimp it to any fandom communities. However, please do link it to friends with varying tastes.

I agree with blurubberband55: I think there's a big difference between 'favourites' and 'best'. I loved watching Gossip Girl in the first season, because it's just so pretty but when we talk quality, it shouldn't really make a top ten list.

Qualitatively, I think The West Wing should be very high up on this kind of list.

However, I think that when it comes down to voting on the internet, The West Wing won't stand a chance against some other shows that are, with all due respect, nowhere near as good as The West Wing, basically because it's ended, fandom isn't as big as Whedonverse and there rest of the voters is too young or not interested in politics.

Yes, I think The West Wing is sadly overlooked in many lists. *sulks*

Just in terms of how often shows have been mentioned in the nominating process, The West Wing has come up far more often than any Whedon show, so... you may have hope for the human race.

True. What I meant to say was that Whedon shows seem to have a wonderfully big and active fandom, so that when it came to voting for your favourite shows online, I think they would do well. But I take some consolation in the fact that The West Wing has won 27 Emmy Awards. :)
