20 Best TV Comedy Shows Of The 21st Century

It’s easy to forget that Futurama debuted at the turn of the millennium when it seems so long since even the rebooted series graced out screens, but this cult comedy classic started satirizing sci fi tropes just as we entered into the new century and provided one of the most consistently funny, original television comedies of the early 2000’s as well as living up to expectations when it was finally uncanceled.

There are countless shows such as Rick and Morty, Final Space, and Disenchantment which we would never have been blessed with were it not for Futurama’s alternately cynical and sweet vision of the year 3000, but this one also belongs on the list for the inspired comic creations Bender, Fry, Leela, and the rest of the massive cast as well as its outsized influence on genre comedy hybrids.
