Quotes Of The Week: The Walking Dead, Shining Vale, Bachelor, Grey's And More
Thanks to the start of daylight saving time, we've lost an hour from our TV viewing schedules, but our latest Quotes of the Week compilation is as robust as ever.
In the list below, we've gathered 15-plus memorable sound bites from television's past seven days, including moments both scripted and unscripted from broadcast, cable and streaming series.
This time around, we've got a new hobby that The Bachelor's Gabby just made up, a fake Law & Order: Organized Crime argument that seemed a little too real, a reluctant confession about motherhood from new parent Jo on Grey's Anatomy and an unexpected connection between Resident Alien and Tootsie Pops.
Also featured in this week's roundup: double doses of Shining Vale (read premiere recap) and Billions, plus quotable moments from NCIS, The Good Doctor, How I Met Your Father 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!
