I don't know, but some people on this site just have a terrible habit of bumping old threads from years ago and repeating the same threads over and over again.

Fine i'll just lock this thread i only made another thread to get people's attention.

I'm watching it, i'm on episode 2. Episode 1 was boring so i skipped it, it was just only about reality shows in the 2000s so.

Damn I forgot about the 2nd episode, but I will remember the 3rd episode tonight!

The first episode wasn't just about reality shows. It was about TV shows in general in the 2000s. I found it to be very interesting.


Damn I forgot about the 2nd episode, but I will remember the 3rd episode tonight!

The 2nd episode was about the controversy over the 2000 presidential election, George W. Bush's first few months in office, 9/11, the start of the War in Afghanistan, then the lead up and the very beginning of the Iraq War.

Did it even feature any notable cartoons from the decade? Like Family Guy or Spongebob? I just bored of the episode because i i didn't see any precense of any animated shows.

No cartoons were mentioned more like Tv Shows for Adults.

and the interesting thing about the 2000's documentary of TV shows is that what they brought up is what I've mentioned on this forum multiple times in the past! The fact that the first half of the 2000's for sitcoms and TV shows were right where it left off from the 90's, but then after shows like Fraiser and Friends ended that style of traditional/family sitcoms came to an end, and eventually that 70's show and Malcolm and the Middle by 2006 too, and they transitioned into shows that were more about drama, action, science fiction, and seriousness where you really had to watch the show in order to understand it, which are the type of shows that are the most popular today in the 2010's. Shows such as Mad Men, Breaking Bad, or Supernatural come to mind. You still have sitcoms out there but they don't really have that relatable lifestyle, traditional, or family feel to it like it used to.

The King of Queens lasted until 2007.

Even during the '00s I always thought that it took a long time for the decade to develop it's own identity and this is a big reason why.  Much of the TV during the first half of the 2000s was left over from the 90s.  And that's a good point on the sitcoms.  I mean the '10s does have its sitcoms like the Big Bang Theory, The Middle, The New Girl, etc but they don't seem to have the kind of cultural impact shows like Friends and Seinfeld did or even shows like Everybody Loves Raymond and King of Queens.  Not sure why that is.

Oh shart, I forgot about this and I'm missing all the episodes!

You may be able to watch it on CNN's website.

Okay I finished watching the 2nd episode On Demand that I missed and the 3rd episode that I recorded on my DVR. Episodes 2 & 3 are basically a 2 part "Bush and War on Terror" documentary. Episode 2 being the first half of Bush's presidency and episode 3 being the 2nd half of Bush's presidency. It was interesting to see, and I never realized how the impact of 9/11 made Bush's approval rating go up so high because everybody in the country was so angry by the attacks and wanted to fight back, but the problem is that Bush put this country in so much debt going too deep with the war stuff and the rest was history. The 2nd half of Bush's presidency gave me a lot of memories but it's sad at the same time that he cared way more about the Iraq War than the U.S. citizens, especially with how poorly Katrina was handled.

Episode 1 sounds really interesting, I might watch that seeing as I'm a huge 2000s TV show buff :D

We're not already nostalgic for the 00's are we???  It's only been 4 years since they ended!

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a new arrogant troll who just invaded the 00's thread with a narcissistic Madonna gif as his avatar.

I'm not a troll! I've been a member here for over 10 years.

I know. You're still a troll.  ;D

But in all honesty though I can see how the 2000's feel absolutely like yesterday to you, because you spent your entire 20's throughout the decade. That's how I'm going to feel about the 2010's, even by 2025 or 2026 the 2010's will still feel like a day ago to me.

Anyways, back on topic! I saw episode 4 on the guide and it's going to be about the rise of Apple, Google, and Facebook! Can't wait!

It's been years, but I finally realized that the mistake of this image isn't the fact that is says that the 90s ended in 2004.......rather the truth is that it didn't end until 2006!

Yeah, after looking at this thread I was thinking about checking it out. Could give me more insight on some of the things I wasn't aware of during the 2000s.

I just popped on here just to pass the time. Haven't been active in quite a while due to just putting my attention away from internet forums and online social activities.

Has your cousin been doing good? I haven't talked to him on YouTube in forever.

The ‘90s most definitely did not last until 2006. The Bush re-election and “American Idiot” era in music put a hard stop to that.

He's doing alright. I haven't spoken to him in a few weeks, but he seems to be doing alright. Last I spoke to him is mentioned moving into a new home with his lover. Guess life is swallowing up his time.

True. Everyone knows the 90s didn't end until 2011 when filthy iphones were getting popular  >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(

Episode 4 was the best of the season by far IMO. Origin story of major companies that changed the culture of technology around us with our everyday lives. The origin of the iPod and iPhone and how that impacted our everyday lives, the origin of social media sites such as MySpace, Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter as well. Then of course how Google changed the way we use the internet. It was very interesting. Owners of these companies such as Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Page, and Sergey Brin were shown many times throughout this documentary. The technology was built and revealed throughout the 2000's, but the most of these didn't began to have an impact on our pop culture and everyday lives until the 2nd half of the 2000's and 2010's. For those who aren't watching this series, you're really missing out.

I'm kind of amazed people are saying the 2000s will be forgotten.

I definitely got to watch The 2000's series and now I'm watching The 1980's and 1970's too but it's not by CNN.

I wanted to watch this but I honestly think one hour episodes are too long. At least the intro they made for it is super cool and pretty epic

LOL 1 hour episodes have been the main standard for TV shows and programs for over a decade now. 30 minute episodes are outdated.

I finished episode 2, i'm gonna watch episode 3 later. Bush's presidency was pretty interesting

They need time for some commercials.

The next episode is going to be about the 2008 Presidential election.

Watching the promo of it makes me a bit emotional. I remember the election well and when he actually won, it was something that I'll never forget.

Being a 9 year old Black boy and seeing B.O. win was incredible and I can't fully describe how it felt for me personally to see him win.

Also, I naively thought the election of Barack Obama meant that America was finally a "post-racial society". If only I had known how naive and foolish I was. What a ride the following 9+ years would end up being. However, I was 9 years old, so I guess my naivety was normal.

I saw the CNN 1980's one. I just watch it for fun, so don't pay attention too much to details. Was a fun documentary!

It was the first election I was able to vote in, and the night he won was one of the proudest of my life. I couldn't believe our luck, that we might actually turn this country around.

Watched episode 3 and 4 and just got done watching episode 5, these three episodes were the best episodes, especially 3 and 4, episode 3 was interesting Hurricaine Katrina and the invasion of Iraq, the only interesting part in episode 3 was Youtube and episode four was the recession which was also interesting. I'm all caught up now, i just need to watch episode 6.

Just finished watching episode 6! Can't wait for episode 7, the music of the 2000s!

I just watched the last episode a few hours ago. It was about 2000s music.

The episode was OK but it could have been better. I felt that it was rushed because they only made it an hour long. They should have made it 2 hours long, so that it wasn't rushed and they could have included more songs.

Listen up. I"m here because I wanted to talk to you about...us... about all that we've been through
I wanted to talk about me and you
I remember when we first met
You didn't know who you were yet.  I didn't know who Iwas
WE grew up together
So, 10 years... what  -what's the big deal, huh?

Just finished watching episode 7, the last episode, it was decent, it did include a good amount of artists from the 2000s but they should've included DMX, Gorillaz and a few other artists/bands overall the episode was fine, the 2000s miniseries overall was pretty good, i really loved it.

Crazy in love, they spoke about a few artists like, Eminem, Kanye, Jay Z, Outkast and Beyonce they other songs they spoke about was American Idiot by Green Day and Hey Ya by Outkast.

Watched the music episode because I was curious. T'was alright, fairly rushed like Panther said. Talked a little too long about the Napster debacle, and barely talked about the rise of iTunes to balance that out. A bit sad too see the only time Avril Lavigne was mentioned was as an example of the Napster thing.

No mention of tv reality and how artists like Kelly Clarkson became popularized, unless it was in another episode? Instead they talked about the rise of internet artists like Justin Bieber and his song "Baby" that imo should have been kept as a subject for an eventual 2010s series. No mention of artists like Amy Whinehouse and Nelly Furtado either disapointingly enough despite being actually defining for the 2000s unlike Justin Bieber. Also they used "Firework" in the episode despite being a single that came out in 2010 and peaked in 2011 (like really? Katy Perry had I Kissed a Girl and Hot N Cold that could have been you know, actual good choices to be featured in the series).

Could have been better, definitely
