Legends quote was brilliantly done, New Amsterdam sold it too… especially with Iggy calling him hot. My favourite was probably Helm in Grey’s Anatomy though. I wish they’d just make Jaicy Elliott a series regular already
Yeah white privilege quotes. Such a difficult well to go to. And so much danger of getting applause from the wrong people, too. Real courage there.
I wish you included daytime TV in this. GH had an awesome line this week:
While you were in the Shangri-La of WHOVILLE!! – Ava to Nina
Ava was pitch perfect.
Blue Bloods: during the ride-along when Eddie came back, leaned into her squad car and told Sean “And don’t fart!” I literally laughed out loud!
Ghosts definitely had a few zingers in that last episode
