Quotes Of The Week: Black Lightning, Lucifer, Friends: The Reunion And More

With Memorial Day Weekend upon us, we're celebrating the ostensible start of summer with a fresh batch of Quotes of the Week.

In the list below, we've compiled two dozen of 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 an ideal Chicago Fire bachelor party that's straight outta The Hangover, proof that Frost can be thawed on The Flash, an egregious boy band mix-up on Dynasty and a reminder from Hacks that no one can deliver a passive-aggressive insult quite like Deborah Vance.

Also featured in this week's roundup: double doses of HBO Max's Friends reunion (read our recap of the special's best moments), Lucifer, Black Lightning's series finale, The Equalizer, SEAL Team and Paramount+'s new Rugrats revival.

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!
