Quotes Of The Week: New Amsterdam, Billions, Grey's, The Big Leap And More
Some series arrived this week (Grey's Anatomy!) while others departed (Big Brother!), but the most memorable moments are all chronicled in our latest Quotes of the Week roundup.
In the list below, we've gathered more than 15 of the small screen's best sound bites from the past seven days, including scenes both scripted and unscripted from broadcast, cable and streaming series.
This time around, we've got a Bachelor in Paradise contestant's deep dive into the meaning of '80s slang, Ariana Grande's spicy gift for a potential Voice recruit, a little self-delusion for Power Book III's Kanan and Donna Troy's fearlessness in the face of a taser on Titans.
Also featured in this week's compilation: double doses of Big Brother's season finale (read recap) and Grey's Anatomy's return (look who's back for Season 18!), plus quotable moments from The Rookie, NCIS, Survivor, New Amsterdam and more shows.
