Quotes Of The Week: Manifest, Idol, Zoey's Playlist, Mighty Ducks And More
Happy Easter, TVLiners! Grab yourselves a marshmallow chick (or six) and peruse our latest Quotes of the Week compilation.
Every Sunday, we look back at the past seven days of television and single out the funniest, most profound and all-around most memorable dialogue of the week, hailing from broadcast, cable and streaming series alike.
This time around, we've got the reveal of Mackenzie's celebrity crush on Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist, an unexpected mash-up of Solar Opposites and Succession, a bonding moment between The Walking Dead's Carol and her canine companion, and parting words of wisdom from American Idol's Murphy that only made us more devastated to see him get cut from Hollywood Week.
Also featured in this week's roundup: double doses of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Manifest and The Voice, plus sound bites from Made for Love (read premiere recap), Wynonna Earp, Law & Order: SVU and more shows.
