Quotes Of The Week: American Idol, WandaVision, This Is Us, Mom And More
A Masked Dancer judge, a crestfallen American Idol musician and not one, but two inhabitants of WandaVision's Hex all make appearances in our latest Quotes of the Week compilation.
Per our Sunday tradition, the week's best TV dialogue is gathered in the list below, which features zingers and bon mots from more than a dozen series.
This time around, we've got John Oliver's suggested slogan for the GOP (which only became more apt as the week went on), Sonny's brutal honesty for Clay's love life on SEAL Team, Good Trouble's appreciation for a Reese Witherspoon classic, and a closer examination of Christy's wardrobe choices on Mom.
Also featured in this week's roundup: a double dose of WandaVision (read Episode 7 recap), plus sound bites from The Good Doctor, MacGyver, It's a Sin, Servant and more shows.
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!
