None of them nowadays come even close to the heights of those years. The Sopranos aired its best season - The Wire, Deadwood, Carnivále, Six Feet Under, Sex and the City, Battlestar Galactica, The West Wing, Rome, Entourage, Friday Night Lights and The Shield were on air. The first season of Desperate Housewives, Lost, Heroes and House premiered which were all part of the creative network tv revolution. 2007 had the first season of Mad Men.
Actually, instead of sitcoms and soaps we now have very intellectual comedies so I'd say that's the only genre that's inarguably increased but they're not sitcoms per sé so I guess you're right.

TV was definitely at its best in the early 00s.HBO's shows alone were just incredible.
Although I think it's repeaking with quality shows like Breaking Bad,GOT Sons of Anarchy and shows like The Walking Dead pushing the limits on what's possible outside the big screen.
