Hey, look. Look, if- if you screw me on this, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine, you rat bastard!
I'd probably say BSG. I've said it before, but BSG REALLY changed how media and pop culture viewed sci-fi stuff. It was probably overshadowed by Lost, but BSG had a lot going on during the post-9/11 era and at a time when there wasn't really a new Trek series on TV.

CBS when it went from 'boring old people TV' to 'cool old people TV'

CSI: More or less every major CSI series starts in the 00s and for about half a dozen of those 00 years three separate and successful CSI series ran at the same time.
NCIS: Similar to CSI in longevity and spin-offs.
Reality Contest shows: Amazing Race, Survivor, and Big Brother.
Sitcoms: It felt like CBS was the only network still capable of doing a successful classic multi-camera sitcom format as the decade wore on, and they still might be the only one with any of any popularity.
Talk Shows: The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson STILL has a pretty strong cult following to this day from folks who used to tune in back in the late 00s.

However, they seemed to never capture the success of other channels' Idol-type programming, mystery box shows, or SF/F/Horror shows that were abundant in the same decade, too. At least, none that I can recall to any great popularity.

60 Minutes Two.

It was a time when you could sit two major political rivals across from one another and people complained that they were being too cordial to one another.
