A whole slew of colorful TV characters have taken up residence in our new Quotes of the Week column, from a Star Wars veteran to an anthropomorphic sun.
As is our Sunday tradition at TVLine, we’ve gathered the most memorable dialogue from the past seven days of television, including lines both witty and weird from broadcast, cable and streaming series.
This time around, we’ve got a fairly useless fun fact from Big Sky‘s Grace, Mark’s all-too-relatable video conference wardrobe on All Rise, a Real Housewives of Salt Lake City anecdote that was meant to be inspiring (we think?) but came out quite horrifying, and a line of Filthy Rich dialogue we can’t quite believe was actually spoken aloud.
Also featured in this week’s roundup: double doses of The Good Doctor, Station 19, The Flight Attendant, Grey’s Anatomy and The Masked Singer, plus sound bites from Saturday Night Live, MacGyver, A Million Little Things 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!
