Never watched any of those shows but what was the one with David spade and he worked as a secretary at the magazine company? I can't believe I'm drawing a blank but I loved that show.
I take that original comment back. I ain't gonna lie I did like friends. I never watched it weekly but I did watch reruns. I don't watch much tv while it's new.

Is this series worth watching from the beginning? I don't think I've ever watched a full episode of it.

Never watched any of them. Dharma was kind of hot, though.

I think he meant the more traditional three-camera studio audience sitcoms.
Malcolm in the Middle I believe was big in popularizing the single-camera comedies you see all over TV nowadays.

Wow, we have the same taste in T.V. shows. Those are the 3 that stuck out to me as well.

Not if he is talking about The Office. Comedies simply.
Also, after looking over the list of shows during this period, it really wasn't that bad a period it just was that the really good stuff was not all that popular. It arguably may have been creatively better than the '90's with the huge exception of Seinfeld. Arrested Development, Sport's Night, Spaced, the British Office, early years of Scrubs, and Malcolm in the Middle is a fairly good line-up and help set the stage for what the OP called a Golden Age for the sitcom.

I honestly got tired of the Seinfeld formula after about three seasons. I still liked it, but there were some shows where I was actually looking forward to them accomplishing something. I think characters have to grow for you to keep liking them. Not always of course.

So what would be a good analogy in sports terms? I think the NBA's Eastern Conference in basketball during the early 2000s is a good comparison. Seinfeld = Jordan. Both retired in 1998 at the height of their popularity. At least Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld had the good sense not to come back far past their prime like Jordan did later on with the Wizards. After Jordan left, there was a void in the Eastern Conference with no elite teams and it took a while for the Eastern Conference to build itself back into a solid conference.

Curb Your Enthusiasm counts and voids the OPs argument.

Always hear about this show but have never seen it. I guess with this show and Curb included, the '99-'04 era wasn't bad at all, and was actually quite good. But I'll stick take my current TV shows and Seinfeld over any of those series any day.
