Murphy Brown -
1. Jim: “You do not have to give equal time to a man who says that Tom Hanks runs a shadow government!” (Claire)
2. Murphy to Shannon: “Truth? I’m surprised that you can use that word without bursting into flames.” ~rhymes with Bannon (Claire)
3. Murphy to Shannon: “You’re an old, white guy afraid of losing his place at the table.” ~I think this quote sums up the USA’s last few, very bleak years. I love how this show is giving us Americans, who still value what our country has been and can be again when Trump is gone, a voice...and it’s so funny, too! (Claire)

Riverdale -
1. Cheryl: “You can't discriminate against someone because they're better looking than you.” (Mads)
2. Betty: “What caused the blue lips?” Coroner: “The cyanide was mixed into a sugary drink called Freshade, blueberry flavored. There’s something dimly familiar about this. If you had asked me before if I thought this was murder or suicide, I’m not sure what it is. But, whatever it is, it is darker than what happened to Jason Blossom or with The Black Hood. No, what we’re looking at here, I believe, is the true face of evil.” (Mads)
SEAL Team -
1. Clay: "I've never dealt with this [death] when it had to do with someone's wife. We don't do this." ~What I didn't expect from the episode was how hard a non-combat death would hit the rest of the team. One example of how the writing has improved this season. (Prpleight)
2. Jason: "I need you back on Bravo Team, if you're okay with that." Ray: "Well, you already know the answer. I been waiting to roll with you six months." Jason: "Yeah, well, the thing is I won't be there. What you see here, two beautiful kids. What I see, I see the only parent they have left. I'm standing down." Ray: "Just for this mission? Not forever?" Jason: "I don't know." ~I was so worried they were going to make Jason a guy I couldn't root for. This moment put me at ease. (Prpleight)

Single Parents -
1. Douglas: “Hey, your kid is amazing and sensitive and makes me a card every time I get a kidney stone. Plus, you want to know the truth. We would like to think that there is some direct line between what we do and how our kids turn out, but you know what, it’s a cr** shoot. We do what we can and who they end up becoming is up to them.” Angie: “Wait. So you’re telling me I can do whatever I want as a parent and it doesn’t matter whatsoever.” Douglas: “Not exactly the take away I was hoping for, but whatever makes you feel better.”
2. Poppy, staring at Will’s stress baking: “Will, please tell me that you have drugs or something in these because that would be less crazy than what I’m looking at.”
3. Angie: “You’re a weirdly cute baby. I don’t like it. I don’t trust it. I’m not gonna pick you up. Night, chubster. See you in hell.”

3. Rick: “It was a hard day, hardest we've had in a while. A man lost his arm, projects behind schedule, people were at each other’s throats. Thing is though as bad as it was, when the day was done, they came together. Not all of them, but enough. They chose to be together. You see what I'm getting at? No matter what happens, it's human nature to come together. That's just what we do.” (DarkUFO)
Young Sheldon -
1. Missy: “My dad does football with my older brother, so they’re like a team and my mom and Meemaw spend all their time fussing over Sheldon so they’re like a team too.” Dr. Thorpe: “So no one’s on your team?” Missy: “Nope. It’s just me.”
2. George: “Missy won that round.” Sturgis: “It’s actually not a contest, George.” George: “This is Texas. Everything’s a contest.”
