Another Sunday, another chance to share our favorite Quotes of the Week from the small screen.
In the list below, we’ve gathered more than a dozen of television’s most memorable sound bites from the past seven days, including moments both scripted and unscripted from broadcast, cable and streaming series.
This time around, we’ve got some highly weird words of wisdom from Party Down‘s Constance, a strong argument in favor of New York City’s subway system on Station 19, a little too much personal information shared on The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip and Kensi’s appreciation for a certain ’90s rom-com on NCIS: Los Angeles.
Also featured in this week’s roundup: double doses of Ted Lasso and The Rookie, plus quotable moments from Gotham Knights, The Voice, Superman & Lois and more shows.
Scroll through the list below to see all of our picks for the week, then hit the comments and tell us if we missed any of your faves!
