80s shows were way funner.

[Wrath of Foamy]

Yeah, I'd have to say 2000s based on sheer variety alone.

80s only had three or four channels...

Shout out to Young Ones, Blackadder and Red Dwarf...

Sure, i would too. Just saying that the 80s was a whole different vibe.

Ya, thats pretty much a wrap.

I forgot King of the Hill and Spartacus: Blood & Sand.

Every time I think about it a new series comes to me I forgot. The 00's is so fucking loaded for television, frankly, you could put every other decade together, and I think it still might win. Ryder Cup that shit. That's how freakishly stacked it was. It was undoubtedly the Golden Age of television.
