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.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/tv/news/50-of-the-most-unforgettable-tv-lines-ever-written/ss-BB1mIM4A?ocid=msedgntp&pc=HCTS&cvid=70a85994ef924590a626d33cdde22eda&ei=17#image=51

 I could add a bunch to these, so try a few more on for size

"Baby, you're the greatest." — Ralph, The Honeymooners
"Danger, Will Robinson!" — Robot, Lost in Space
"Book 'em, Danno." — McGarrett, Hawaii Five-0
"Just one more thing..." — Columbo, Columbo
"You hear that, Elizabeth? I'm coming to join you, honey." — Fred, Sanford and Son
"God will get you for that." — Maude, Maude
"Aaay!" — Fonzie, Happy Days 
You look mahvelous." — Fernando, SNL
No soup for you!" — The Soup Nazi, Seinfeld
Beam me up Scotty--Kirk, Star Trek
"De plane! De plane!"  (Tattoo, "Fantasy Island")

"Mom always liked you best" (Tommy Smothers, "The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour")
"Smile, you're on 'Candid Camera' " ("Candid Camera")

 How many more can we find?

"There is a greater purpose...that purpose is team. Winning, losing, playing hard, playing well, doing it for each other, winning the right way, winning the right way is a very important thing to me... Championships are won by teams who love one another, who respect one another, and play for and support one another."
~ Coach Tom Coughlin

This is the dimension of imagination."  -Rod Serling

I can't think of too many, but I expected to see: "How you doin?" Joey (Friends)

Here's some off the top of my head:

"Let's go to the tape" (Warner Wolf)
"And here's the rest of the story" (Paul Harvey)
"Juuust a bit outside." - Harry Doyle (Bob Ueker)
"That's my spot" (Sheldon Cooper, Big Bang Theory)
"Dy-NOOO-mite" (JJ Walker - Good Times)
"You're killing me Smalls" (Sandlot)
"Never ends for Raymond. I go to work, people shoot at me. Ray goes to work, people do the wave." ... Robert (Everybody Loves Raymond)
"What do you want me to do, die of old age?" (Robert Duvall, a 90 year old telling Michael Caine why he bought a plane that he had to put together himself..."Second Hand Lions"



I told my teenage son, when I was his age, I used to get 10 CDs in the mail for a penny. I don't know if he thought I was lying or even knew what a CD was, or what a penny was, or what the mail was, or all of the above

'Just the facts ma'am' Joe Friday--Dragnet
'Would you believe"--Maxwell Smart--Get Smart

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
I told my teenage son, when I was his age, I used to get 10 CDs in the mail for a penny. I don't know if he thought I was lying or even knew what a CD was, or what a penny was, or what the mail was, or all of the above
