5 Best Things to Come out of the '00s

Goodbye to the 00's- Hello teens! A lot of bad has happened in the past 10 years. Let's take a look back at some of the better.

5. Barack Obama

Finally, America has moved ahead. We have a long way to go, but having an African American President is a huge step forward. And after our last president, just having a new one is a huge step forward too, right?

4. Wonderfalls

In 2004, Fox aired 4 episodes of this critically acclaimed gem (out of order and in inconsistent timeslots, no less) before canning it. Wonderfalls tells the story of Jaye Tyler, overeducated and unemployable, to whom God speaks through inanimate objects. The 13 episodes which were released on DVD after a campaign by fans make this list of the best things to come out of the decade.

3. Kristin Chenoweth

While she technically burst into the Broadway scene in the later part of the last decade, Kristin Chenoweth burst into my heart in the earlier part of this one. Standing at 4'11", hearing her go from a betty boop-like speaking voice into her operatic soprano makes her one of the best things to come out of this decade.

2. Wicked

While some hardcore musical fans consider Wicked to be too mainstream, there is not doubt that Wicked is an absolute delight. The special effects are top notch, and the story is one that the whole family will enjoy, as everyone will recognize the witty references to the 1939 classic The Wizard of Oz.

1. Pushing Daisies

As I mentioned in my review, I think that Pushing Daisies is one of the best things to come out of America in the past few decades, let alone this single decade. A whimsical television show which was billed as a 'forensic fairytale', Pushing Daisies is visual Xanax.

So, what are your top 5?
