NCIS: Los Angeles, The Flash and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel all aired their series finales this week — and each one of ’em pops up in our latest Quotes of the Week compilation.
In the list below, we’ve gathered nearly 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, in addition to the aforementioned series enders, we’ve got Chicago Med‘s fond farewell to Will Halstead, a crude (but apt!) new nickname for Nick Cannon (courtesy of Selling Sunset‘s Amanza), Yam Yam’s real opinion about host Jeff Probst during Survivor‘s season finale, and proof that the ongoing writers’ strike can even affect a show like The Voice.
Also featured in this week’s roundup: a double dose of NCIS: Hawai’i, plus quotable moments from Platonic, Days of Our Lives, Gotham Knights 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!
