Quotes Of The Week: Ted Lasso, HAHN, Good Trouble, The Flash And More
No summer slump here: Even in late July, our Quotes of the Week column is as jam-packed as it's ever been.
In the list below, we've compiled more than 20 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 The White Lotus' dig at a former HBO leading lady, Zari's pitch for a Legends of Tomorrow spinoff that we kinda love, a little geography wordplay (well, actually a lot) on Love Island and Schmigadoon!'s realization that classic musicals are often pretty depressing.
Also featured in this week's roundup: double doses of Ted Lasso's sophomore debut (read post mortem) and the series finales of Good Girls (read recap) and The Haves and the Have Nots (read recap), plus quotable moments from The Bachelorette, Animal Kingdom, Gossip Girl, Good Trouble and more shows.
