Quotes Of The Week: Kung Fu, Station 19, The Resident, Winter Soldier And More
Much like the spring bouquets blooming all around, our latest Quotes of the Week compilation is a colorful mixture.
After the past seven days of television, we're bringing you more than two dozen (!) bon mots, zingers and one-liners from broadcast, cable and streaming series — including some unscripted gems that were just as memorable as lines written intentionally.
This time around, we've got Family Guy's appreciation of a 1999 Sugar Ray jam, Kung Fu's utter lack of appreciation for red velvet confections, a Masked Singer judge's misunderstanding of a new clue, and a Trump joke on The Resident that we frankly didn't see coming.
Also featured in this week's roundup: double doses of Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist, The Circle, Snowfall and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier (who made that big Episode 5 cameo?), plus sound bites from The Neighborhood, Good Trouble, The Nevers, MacGyver and more series.
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!
