Best of Decade coverage begins

So, Y2K didn't happen, but a hell of a lot of other crazy stuff did in the past ten years. Entering 2000, we'd just come off the fiery end of Woodstock, Apple's computers kind of sucked, "Episode 1" ruined millions of childhood memories and Napster was free from Lars Ulrich's ranting. Things have been much better this decade. We think.

To celebrate the end of the decade that we all came of age in, WEEKEND presents a two-week excursion into the past 10 years. This week we'll tackle memorable culture moments, television and video games. Next week brings film, music, books and technology. Along the way, we'll try to determine which year was "best" and provide a slew of online only content for you.

The following is a rough schedule for the online only television-centric features:

Monday: Best Mini-Series
Tuesday: Best One-Season Wonders
Wednesday: Top Episodes from Programs That Did Not Make The Cut
Thursday: Miscellaneous musings, awards and thoughts about the best period in the medium's history.

Our list of Best Video Games will also be up Tuesday.

Let's do this.
