It’s not time to carve the turkey just yet, but we’re certainly feeling thankful for another jam-packed week of entertaining television.
In our newest Quotes of the Week compilation 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 Yellowstone‘s memorable lesson in financial prosperity, an operating room tradition for Grey’s Anatomy‘s Richard, Tim’s newfound knowledge about Gwyneth Paltrow’s career on The Rookie and an Episode 1 monologue on The Sex Lives of College Girls that made quite the first impression.
Also featured in this week’s roundup: a double dose of Insecure, plus quotable moments from The Flash, 9-1-1, 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!

Thanks for the Call the Midwife love
