Whether the viewer is a fan of early 2000's sitcoms such as The Office or Monk or dramas like House or Friday Night Lights, Peacock has something for everybody, but IMDb indicates that some shows are more worthy of your time than others.

10 The Office

The smash-hit American remake of The Office debuted on NBC back in 2005. It's a mockumentary-style show that follows the workers of a paper supply office, and it's well-known for launching the careers of stars such as Steve Carrell and Mindy Kaling. With such iconic moments like Kevin trying to carry his chili or Dwight Schrute being the victim of identity theft, it's a show that is worth watching again and again.

9 House

House debuted on Fox back in 2004 and ran all the way to 2012. Starring Hugh Laurie, it followed Dr. Gregory House, a doctor whose bedside manner left a lot to be desired and who frequently receive criticism for his controversial practices.

Dr. Gregory House also often dealt with his own demons, both mentally and physically, sometimes abusing the same drugs that he prescribed his patients. However, for as jaded and horrible as Dr. House may be, Hugh Laurie brought a certain charm to him that kept audiences tuning in each and every week.

8 Parks And Recreation

From the creators of The Office, Parks and Recreation debuted on NBC in 2009. Following a similar formula to that of The Office, Parks and Recreation centered around a group of city government workers that worked in the Parks and Rec department in the fictional town of Pawnee, Indiana. The show was a huge success, making Amy Pohler an even bigger name after leaving SNL, and it introduced us to actors like Chris Pratt and Aubrey Plaza. It's a fun, heartwarming show that deserves to be revisited.

7 Modern Family

Modern Family debuted on ABC back in 2009. The show revolved around three households that were connected by the fact that they were family. Ed O'Neill's Jay Pritchett and his wife Gloria (played Sofia Vergara) were one household, along with their youngest son.

Jay's daughter, Claire Dunphy (played by Julie Bowen), and her husband Phil made up the next household. Finally, Jesse Tyler Ferguson's Mitchell Pritchett and his husband Cameron Tucker (played by Eric Stonestreet) made up the last household. It followed all three families for 11 seasons, spotlighting all the ups and downs a modern family might face.

6 Psych

Psych debuted on the USA network back in 2006, following James Roday Rodriguez's Shawn Spencer, a man who pretends to be a psychic, and his partner, Dulé Hill's Burton Guster, as they worked for the local police department. The show continues to have a massive cult following, even receiving two made-for-TV films also available to stream on Peacock.

5 30 Rock

Created by SNL alum Tina Fey, 30 Rock debuted on NBC back in 2006. The show revolved around the fictitious show TGS with Tracy Jordan, and Tina Fey starred in the show as Liz Lemon, the head writer for the sketch comedy show.

The show basically gives the viewer a look at what it's like to put together a show like TGS with Tracy Jordan (or SNL) and deal with the wide range of personalities and issues that come with working in the entertainment industry.

4 Friday Night Lights

Friday Night Lights debuted on NBC in 2006 and was a huge success. Following the Dillon Panthers, one of the nation's best football teams, and its head coach, Eric Taylor (Kyle Chandler), the show was both a critical success winning 17 Emmys over its 5 season run. The show was often praised for its "real" look at what high school was actually like and for having wonderfully well-written characters that kept viewers coming back for more, even if they weren't football fans.

3 Battlestar Galactica

Battlestar Galactica was a remake of the original 1978 show that debuted on the SyFy channel in 2004. In the series, what's left of humanity is being hunted down by an old enemy known as the Cylons, who are determined to destroy the human race.

While the original show only lasted a season, this version of Battlestar Galactica went on for 4 seasons and was a lot darker and more political than its 1978 predecessor. As it tackled issues like racism and terrorism and put this subject matter against the backdrop of a space drama, it became a phenomenon that reached thousands of viewers each week.

2 Monk

Monk debuted on the USA network in 2002. The show follows Tony Shaloub's Adrian Monk, a former detective from San Francisco who battles an obsessive-compulsive disorder. Since he is no longer a detective, he now works with the force as a private consultant, while his OCD often gets in the way of him catching the bad guy. It's a great sitcom with a lot of heart that is fun to watch.

1 Eureka

Eureka debuted on the SyFy network back in 2006, following a former U.S. Marshall (and now sheriff) named Jack Carter (played by Colin Ferguson), as he comes to the northwestern town of  Eureka where the US Government has hidden its brightest and best minds to create futuristic inventions. However, with these inventions, there is always something that is bound to go wrong, and it's up to Jack Carter to maintain the peace in his small town.
