Quotes Of The Week: New Amsterdam, The Conners, NCIS, Resident And More
As you might expect, a jam-packed week of TV finales has yielded a jam-packed edition of Quotes of the Week.
In the list below, we've gathered more than 20 of television's most memorable sound bites from the past seven days, including moments both scripted and unscripted from broadcast, cable and streaming series.
This time around, we've got one Resident love interest throwing a little shade at another, some trivia about the Property Brothers that we didn't really want (courtesy of Last Week Tonight With John Oliver), a major transformation for Young Sheldon's title character, and one of many tearjerking moments from This Is Us' penultimate hour.
Also featured in this week's roundup: double doses of Hacks, The Conners and Grey's Anatomy, plus quotable moments from New Amsterdam, We Own This City, All American and more shows.
