The Insanely Crazytown New York Times’ 100 Best TV Shows of the 21st Century

From Daily Comedy News with Johnny Mac Daily Comedy News with Johnny Mac

Johnny Mac cold-reacts to The New York Times’ list of the 100 best TV shows of the 21st century, focusing mainly on comedies and frequently arguing many rankings are “criminally low” or overrated. He’s shocked by Community at #97 and It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia at #78, questions shows ranked above Community, and notes unfamiliarity with titles like Better Things, Somebody Somewhere, Insecure, and Normal People. He praises Barry, Peep Show, Chappelle’s Show, Key & Peele, and The Americans; calls Ozark and Arrested Development overrated; critiques Parks and Rec and 30 Rock; and comments on list oddities like House of Cards imagery. He highlights top entries including Atlanta (#10), Curb (#9), Veep (#7), Fleabag (#5), Succession (#4), The Wire (#2), and Breaking Bad at #1, and invites listener feedback in the show’s Facebook group.
