Quotes Of The Week: Lucifer, Ted Lasso, Big Brother, The Walking Dead And More

We know it's after Labor Day and all, but as far as we're concerned, you can wear all the white you want while scrolling through our latest Quotes of the Week column.

With another seven days of television behind us, we've gathered more than a dozen of the small screen's best sound bites, including moments both scripted and unscripted from broadcast, cable and streaming series.

This time around, we've got Ted Lasso's appreciation of a long-running medical drama, an uncharacteristically frightened Negan on The Walking Dead, the shocking introduction of a Circle contestant and an important lesson in human sexuality from Power Book III: Raising Kanan.

Also featured in this week's roundup: double doses of Big Brother and Nine Perfect Strangers, plus a rare triple dose of dialogue, courtesy of Lucifer's final season. (Catch up on all of our Season 6 coverage here.)
