Succession and Ted Lasso might be the latest series to end their memorable runs, but they’ll live on a little longer via our picks for Quotes of the Week.
In the list below, we’ve gathered more than a dozen of television’s most memorable sound bites from the past seven days, including scripted moments from broadcast, cable and streaming series.
This time around, in addition to bon mots from the aforementioned swan songs, we’ve got juicy details on Pat’s newest Other Two beau, bold words from Gotham Knights‘ Harvey Dent, a quick-witted retort from Manifest‘s Olive, and a question for Superman & Lois‘ Lana that we almost couldn’t believe was asked.
Also featured in this week’s roundup: double doses of Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies (read finale recap) and American Born Chinese (read finale recap).
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!
