Quotes Of The Week: Younger, Black-Ish, The Handmaid's Tale, Mayans And More

We may have flipped the page on our 2021 wall calendars, but we've still got one last week of April television to capture in our Quotes of the Week column.

In the list below, we've compiled the week's most memorable TV dialogue, including bon mots and one-liners from broadcast, cable and streaming series alike.

This time around, we've got some lingering trust issues for 9-1-1: Lone Star's Owen, Principal Carter's well-meaning (but weird) approach to discussing menstruation with his daughter, sage (but also weird) relationship advice from black-ish's Ruby and a debate about the merits of meatloaf at Blue Bloods' dinner table.

Also featured in this week's roundup: double doses of Delilah (read finale recap), The Handmaid's Tale's return for Season 4 (read recaps of Episode 1, Episode 2 and Episode 3) and MacGyver's series finale (read exclusive post mortem).
