Quotes Of The Week: Abbott Elementary, All American, La Brea, Mole And More

Another Sunday afternoon is upon us, and you know what that means: It's time to revisit our favorite lines uttered on this week's TV.

In the Quotes of the Week compilation below, you'll find nearly 20 of television's most memorable sound bites from the past seven days, including moments both scripted and unscripted from broadcast, cable and streaming series.

This time around, we've got a futile attempt to play matchmaker for Station 19's Travis, the Ghosts' honest assessment of Jay's new friends, Tyra Banks' realization on Dancing With the Stars that a fellow Disney+ series has a very long title, and a succinct recap of All American's season premiere... courtesy of All American: Homecoming's season premiere.

Also featured in this week's roundup: double doses of Abbott Elementary, The Challenge, The Good Doctor and She-Hulk's finale (read Post Mortem No. 1 and No. 2), plus quotable moments from La Brea, Survivor, House of the Dragon 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!
