THE GOOD DOCTOR (Bonus Quote!)
“I’m not like other people. Other kids called me weird… my parents didn’t want me… and so, that is how I saw myself. But Dr. Glassman saw that I could be more — and now I see myself as so much more because Dr. Glassman loved me unconditionally. I am still different. I will always have autism. But now I am proud of that.”
Shaun (Freddie Highmore) sure has come a long way — and he has the selfless Dr. Glassman to thank
THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF NEW JERSEY

Melissa’s botched turn-of-phrase a la Teresa Giudice makes us wonder if the sisters-in-law might have more in common than they think…

Melissa (Lisa Ann Walter), after two students get into a physical altercation
ABBOTT ELEMENTARY (Bonus Quote!)

HACKS (Episode 5)

If you’re ever in a life-or-death situation, don’t yell “help” or “fire,” just follow Ava’s (Hannah Einbinder) suggestion
ELSBETH
“You’ve met her?”
“Yes. Yikes. I mean, you’d have to bring along a wooden stake and a clove of garlic.”
Elsbeth (Carrie Preston) on how one would confront the episode’s particularly nasty mean girl woman

THE ROOKIE
“How are you doing?”
“I’m good! Mostly. I guess? There’s just so much change — but I guess big change is a good thing? I’m clearly going through a big upheaval right now, which is hard on the psyche, but ultimately — hopefully! — it will be a necessary and positive period of emotional growth. So… yeah. I’m good…?”
Chen (Melissa O’Neil) is good (we think)
THE CONNERS
“I’m really happy for you, Dan. This is a reason to celebrate.”

Darlene (Sara Gilbert) reveals the family’s plans to celebrate Dan paying off the house by indulging in… unlimited breadsticks
YOUNG SHELDON
“For a long time, I focused on my father’s shortcomings. Now that I am his age and have kids of my own, I realize that he was just a person doing the best he could — and he did a lot. I didn’t say it as his funeral, but I can say it now: I loved my father, I will miss him forever.”

Don’t worry, Tina. You’re likely not the only reality TV personality who needs to catch up on her reading
THE AMAZING RACE
“Really? Checking your hair? You were just checking your hair?”
Cesar teases Ricky for wanting to look camera ready while they’re still en route to the $1 million check
THE GOAT
“I realized early on Kristen was a loose cannon. We had a Bravo alliance, but you know, I had to put Bravo on pause because she’s annoying as f–k, she has emotional outbursts and she performed very poorly today.

“How many kids are there?”
“Between all of us? Or —”
“I have a son. They have a son. And he has two other children.”
“With two different women.”
[Whispers] “She didn’t need to know that s—t!”

George (Nicholas Galitzine) tells Olivares how it is
