About 90s & 2000s Television
The 90s and 2000s were television's last era of mass cultural agreement. Before streaming fragmented every viewer into their own algorithmic bubble, you watched what your local affiliate gave you and you watched it on a schedule. That meant tens of millions of people simultaneously losing their minds over the Ross-and-Rachel "WE WERE ON A BREAK" fight, the Sopranos cut to black, Hurley's lottery numbers on Lost, and whether Joey would ever read a book.
This category covers the four-camera sitcoms (Friends, Frasier, Seinfeld, Will & Grace), the WB and UPN teen dramas (Dawson's Creek, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Veronica Mars, Felicity, Roswell), the prestige cable wave (Sopranos, The Wire, Six Feet Under, Deadwood, Oz), the reality TV explosion (Survivor, American Idol, The Real World, The Bachelor), and the workplace mockumentaries that closed out the decade (The Office, Parks and Recreation, 30 Rock).
If you can quote a line from a TV show and have it land in any room of people aged 28 to 50, this category is for you.
