Maybe if you only watch major network and reality tv I could see thinking this? I'll certainly take Buffy and The X-Files over endless bland procedurals, night-time soaps in their twentieth season, and whatever campy fluff The CW is doing these days. *shrug*

And the 00s did have some strongly-written shows that foretold TVs transition towards more complex, nuanced storytelling. BSG and The West Wing spring immediately to mind. And of course Six Feet Under, which I never really clicked with, but which certainly did a lot to lead that charge. Plus, I haven’t seen it yet, but didn’t The Wire start it’s run in the mid 00s?

That kind of television felt like some kind of strange and rare phenomenon at the time, though, and even then, something like Mad Men still felt fairly unprecedented, and almost baffling in its deft and existential approach when it first came on the scene. Breaking Bad likewise, shortly thereafter.

I can’t even imagine shows like Succession, or Bojack Horseman, or (for my money) the last three seasons of Halt And Catch Fire existing before TV slowly came of age through the 00s and 10s.

The CW only had one worthwhile show, and that was only because Legends of Tomorrow recognized how campy and weird it was and ran with it.
