Quotes Of The Week: This Is Us, S.W.A.T., WandaVision, Search Party And More

Superstore, Prodigal Son and The Resident were among the shows to return with new episodes this week — and they're also among the shows in our latest Quotes of the Week feature.

With another seven days of TV behind us, we're recognizing more than 20 memorable bon mots and zingers, which hail from broadcast, cable and streaming series alike.

This time around, we've got a Search Party soirée bearing a very specific theme, an unexpected Sesame Street reference on NCIS: Los Angeles, Beth and Randall's bow-chicka-wow-wow stroll down memory lane on This Is Us, and a Chicago P.D. cop who perfectly sums up our current moment of crisis.

Also featured in this week's roundup: double doses of WandaVision's two-episode premiere (read recap) and the most recent Bachelor (read recap), plus sound bites from The Conners, Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist, The Challenge, Weakest Link 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!
