Quotes Of The Week: Power Book IV, Billions, Lone Star, Big Brother And More
A Celebrity Big Brother houseguest, a beloved member of the Power-verse and one of Station 126's veteran firefighters are among those who delivered our favorite Quotes of the Week.
In the list below, we've gathered 10-plus memorable sound bites from television's past seven days, including moments both scripted and unscripted from broadcast, cable and streaming series.
This time around, we've got a peek into Vigilante's puzzling psyche on Peacemaker, a Next Level Chef critique that no cook would ever want to receive, and 9-1-1: Lone Star's nod to Rob Lowe's time on a certain political drama. (Speaking of politics, those actually come up in our chosen line from The Kings of Napa, too.)
Double doses of How I Met Your Father and Billions also make an appearance in this week's roundup.
