Quotes Of The Week: Animal Kingdom, Ted Lasso, Dave, White Lotus And More
From reality TV buffoonery to snobby teens and Minka Kelly shade, our latest Quotes of the Week column once again covers the gamut!
In the list below, we've compiled the week's best TV sound bites, including moments both scripted and unscripted from broadcast, cable and streaming series.
This time around, we've got lines from a delusional Big Brother houseguest, titillating talk from Schmigadoon!'s dashing Doc, and yet another adorable quip from Dave's slightly out of touch mom.
Also featured in this week's roundup: a double dose of commentary from Part 1 of The Haves and the Have Nots reunion (view recent Performer of the Week), Animal Kingdom's latest heist (read recap) and a few feisty words from Ted Lasso's team owner (read post mortem), plus quotable moments from The Celebrity Dating Game, David Makes Man, Love Island, Black Monday and more shows.
