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.

Sex and the City had the same creatively stale 4 female friends story arch every other garden variety dramedy had since the 80s/90s. And I love that show . The Sopranos, the Wire, and Six Feet Under are excellent. I'll give you that. But 10 years ago, ''good tv'' was mainly relegated to HBO. So glad ''family shows'' and ''daytime TV'' are finally a thing of the past.
We're in a new golden age of television, or shall I say dramas, right now. There's actually too much good tv now. You can find top-tier dramas on the Internet, on cable, on HBO or Showtime. It's insane how overflooded the industry is with top-tier scripted shows right now. I don't know what happened. Maybe Netflix really shook things up.
