From 'The Office' to 'The Big Bang Theory,' These 10 2000s Sitcoms Are Truly Timeless

The 2000s were a transitional period for sitcoms, as the laugh-track era of multi-camera comedies gave way to single-camera shows and the mockumentary format. That blend of styles produced a number of comedies that remain fresh and memorable. This list focuses on shows that began during the decade and spent a significant portion of their runs in it, while noting that series such as Community and Parks and Recreation, which debuted in 2009, made their mark right after the decade.

Highlights include Disney Channel’s That's So Raven, a multi-camera fantasy comedy built around Raven-Symoné's Raven Baxter and followed by spin-offs Cory in the House and Raven's Home; and Everybody Hates Chris, a single-camera, '80s-tinged sitcom loosely based on Chris Rock's teenage years that centers on family, adolescence and nostalgia.

Also featured are Arrested Development, Mitch Hurwitz’s serialized satire of the wealthy, dysfunctional Bluth family; Scrubs, a single-camera medical comedy focused on J.D., Turk, Elliot and Dr.
