Quotes Of The Week: The Good Doctor, Candy, Hacks, All American And More

It's been a rough week for TV fans; here's hoping our latest batch of Quotes of the Week eases the sting a bit.

In the list below, we've gathered two dozen 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 Davey's completely understandable annoyance at Cassie's personal life on The Flight Attendant, The Neighborhood's wink and nod to guest star Patti LaBelle's love of cooking, Coop's apparent enjoyment of Better Call Saul as documented by All American, and a sobering confession from Station 19's Matt.

Also featured in this week's roundup: double doses of This Is Us, Hacks, NCIS: Los Angeles, The Good Doctor 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!
