50 of the most unforgettable TV lines ever written

[LennG]

We have had topics on all sorts of things, so I saw this and thought it would be a good start to lines we remember from favorite TV shows and maybe some of these lines will bring back some good memories of past shows.

Digging back into the depths of my memory as a kid. Weird how I can remember things from my time as a child (like it was yesterday), but can't remember three items to pick up at the grocery store, or what I did last week 

Cartoon stuff:

"I yam what I yam, and that's all that I yam", Popeye
"Here I come, to save the day", Mighty Mouse
"I tawt I saw a puddy tat", Tweety
"Yabba, daba, doo", Fred Flinstone
"Hey, Hey, Hey, there's a pic-a-nic basket", and of course, "I'm smarter than the average bear" Yogi
"What's up Doc?", Bugs
"Now looka, I say looka here boy"...and, "boy, you're as sharp as a bowling ball" Foghorn Leghorn
"Curses, foiled again", Snidely Whiplash
"I'm rotten to the core!" Crabby Appleton (foe of Tom Terrific and his wonder dog Manfred)...really surprised I can remember that one as I had to be 5 or 6, waiting for the bus while Captain Kangaroo was on)
"Hip-hip-hip and away I go", and "there's no need to fear, Underdog is here", Underdog, usually saving Sweet Polly Purebred (the name alone makes me laugh)
"Muttley, do something!", "Drat, and double drat" Dick Dastardly
And of course, "Beep, Beep"...the only words ever spoken in RoadRunner and Wile E. Coyote 

Old TV shows:

"What's that Lassie? Timmy fell down the well?" Lassie (either my memory sucks, or Timmy was always falling down the well)
"Them hands were made for tillin, not coddlin women's toes" Grandpa Amos McCoy in The Real McCoys
"I don't make no never mind what happens", Festus on Gunsmoke

[Jolly Blue Giant]

Best one-liner from the movie, "Pirates of the Caribbean" after high-class Elizabeth (Keira Knightly) had called Captain Barbossa and his shipmates a "bunch of ignorant pirates", the demanded a "parley" to which Barbossa replied:

"I am disinclined to acquiesce to your request"

I just had had the strangest dream. I just dreamt that I was married to a beautiful blonde and we owned an inn that was going to be turned into a golf club.

Emily Hartley:
[wakes up, turns the light on] That's it, no more shrimp before bed.

One of the best final scenes ever.
