Quotes Of The Week: Last Man Standing, Wynonna Earp, NCIS: LA, Idol And More
In addition to May flowers, April showers also, apparently, bring many memorable Quotes of the Week.
As we always do on Sundays, we're once again bringing you a robust collection of the past seven days' best TV dialogue, featuring series from broadcast, cable and streaming.
This time around, we've got A Million Little Things' meta reference to its new spot on ABC's schedule, a rave review for Negan's unconventional cooking on The Walking Dead, Young Sheldon's eerie prediction of the coronavirus pandemic, and some musical advice from Voice coach Kelly Clarkson that invokes a classic Christmas movie.
Also featured in this week's roundup: double doses of Grey's Anatomy, Last Man Standing and Wynonna Earp's series finale (read post mortem), plus sound bites from NCIS: Los Angeles, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, American Idol, New Amsterdam and more shows.
