Was It a ’90s or ’00s Show? (POLL)

Here at TV Insider, we’ve gotten (more than) a bit nostalgic with the launch of Throwback and looking at the Best Shows of the ’90s. But we know that when it came to that as well as our reader bracket, there were some shows missing that caused you to wonder why they weren’t included.

It was simple, based on one of the conditions of the list: Shows had to have aired at least two seasons in the ’90s. And so that meant that some fan-favorites like The Sopranos and The West Wing just didn’t make the cut. But now we’re asking you if you consider shows like that, as well as ones still airing new seasons that premiered in 1999, including Law & Order: SVU (heading into its 24th season) and Family Guy (going into Season 21), a ’90s or ’00s show.
