Quotes Of The Week: Lovecraft Country, Yellowstone, Lucifer, DNC And More

With all due respect to the Tony Awards (which announced on Friday that they will take place digitally for the first time this fall), we're always giving out virtual kudos in the form of our Quotes of the Week.

Once again, we've compiled the best small-screen dialogue from the past seven days, featuring more than 15 quotable moments from broadcast, cable and streaming series.

This time around, we've got yet another cosplay idea from Wynonna Earp (this time involving an animated character, not a Legend of Tomorrow), Samantha Bee's dig at the recent Ellen DeGeneres controversy on Full Frontal, a rather unproductive brainstorming session on The Chi and perhaps the strangest baby shower of all time, courtesy of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

Also featured in this week's roundup: double doses of Lucifer (read our Episode 2 post mortem), Big Brother (find out who got evicted this week), Yellowstone and the Democratic National Convention.

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!

BIG BROTHER

"Memphis is in my alliance, but Memphis is lame, bro. Memphis is lame. I don't like how he's slapping them around this week. That might've been how they played back in, like, 1943 during Big Brother 10, but this is 2020, man. Things have changed!"

BIG BROTHER (Bonus Quote!)
