The 2000s has seen a flourishing of the television comedy. Whether you like sassy women or a scrappy group of kids who like to sing, the 2000s has seen its fair share of some very delightful and extremely funny television comedies.

Hot In Cleveland

This series, which has as one if its stars the inimitable Betty White, has been something of a ratings success for its home network of TV Land. It features the adventures of a group of women from Los Angeles who have to learn how to live in the entirely different environment of Cleveland, Ohio. With its unique blend of quirky humor, sassy women, and great guest stars, this is one comedy you won't want to miss.

Glee

If one show in the 2000s has taken the world by storm, it would have to be this delightful comedy, which tells the story of a group of high school kids who endure persecution, a psychotic cheerleading coach, and the angst of teenage life that are such a part of adolescence. And they do it all while singing some of the most important songs ever recorded. If you want to watch one of the greatest shows that has come out of the decade of the 2000s, then you will definitely want to catch an episode of "Glee."

The Office

This comedy, which has something of a biting edge, is definitely a great way to spend an evening. Following the travails, foibles, and interpersonal conflicts of an office in the city of Scranton, Pennsylvania, you will definitely appreciate the biting sense of humor that seems to pervade this show. With a cast that includes the great Steve Carell (whose talents at comedic acting are practically unparalleled), this is a comedy that will have you rolling in the aisles.

The Big Bang Theory

If you want your comedy that has a sense of intelligence along with the comedy, then be sure to catch this amazingly popular comedy that has managed to maintain its humor despite the fact that it follows the exploits of a group of nerds.

So, if you're looking for a great way to spend an evening, then request a DVD of these fantastic 2000s comedies from Netflix. It's practically guaranteed that you'll be laughing for hours, even after the shows have come to an end.
