215 TV Show Quotes
Lines that outlasted the episode, each one with the show and year attached.
Television gets more time than film does, and it spends it differently. A show can spend six seasons setting up one sentence. When it lands, it lands harder than almost anything a two-hour film can do, because you have been living with those people for years.
These 215 television quotes carry the show and the year, so you always know where a line came from. That matters more here than almost anywhere else. TV lines get stripped of their source faster than any other kind of quote.
Comedy, drama, the throwaway line that turned out to be the thesis. Save the ones you would actually send to someone.
TV Shows Quotes: Frequently Asked Questions
Why do TV quotes lose their source so easily?
Because they spread as reaction images and captions, and a caption has no room for a citation. A line travels for years with nobody attached to it, and eventually gets credited to whoever is famous enough to be plausible. Every quote here keeps its show and year.
What makes a TV line stick?
Usually that it works with no context at all. A line that needs three seasons of setup can be devastating in the episode and useless anywhere else. The ones that travel are short, say something recognisable about how people actually are, and do not need the plot explained first.
Can I use a TV quote in a caption or on an image?
Sharing a short line with the show credited is ordinary practice. Selling something with it on is a rights question and depends on the studio. If you are posting rather than selling, credit the show. It costs nothing, and it is the difference between a quote and a stolen line.
How do I turn a TV quote into an image?
