Lists like this are hard to do though, because shows span decades and some shows are good, but not necessarily mine or someone else's taste.

Maybe:
Stargate
Northern Exposure
In Living Color
X-men
Batman (animated series)
Hercules/Xena
Quantum Leap
Beavis and Butt-head
Kids in the Hall
Adventures of Brisco County Jr.
Mr. Bean
News Radio
Ally McBeal
...

Thinking of the 00s, it seems like HBO should basically have its own category

Hard to compete with that

That was probably the golden age of television*

It was a golden age of entertainment so a tough call. I'll go X-Files.*

SP may have started in the late 90s but I'll always consider it a 2000s show*

It's pop culture heyday was definitely in the 90s. The movie came out in the 90s

It made instant impact.

But yes it's had a long run and it was probably better in the 2000s than 90s.

Those early season's in the 90s have a unique cringe but still hilarious feel to them.

Almost like Trey and Matt were still working out the kinks to the plotlines and also ironing out the vocals for Cartman, which is a voice that sounds almost NOTHING like it currently does. Much more smoother and sophisticated now. Was way too screamy from the start, but still freaking funny!
