Why the Best?

There have been thousands of television series since the first broadcast in the 1920s. There have been many failures but also successes in this line of entertainment.

The best TV show quotes may not be from the best show or even be the most recognizable, but the substance makes it become one of the best throughout history.

Quotations have been one of my hobbies for a few years. I love reading them and keeping them saved on my computer or highlighted within a book. They are a huge part of our history and should be explored now more than ever.

The Very Best TV Series Quotes

That is to say, my favorites

Television before the InternetWhen I was younger, computers and the Internet weren't near as popular as they are today, mobile phones were the size of the Empire State Building, and American Idol was still growing inside of Simon Fuller's skull. This resulted in cartoons, sitcoms, and night-time receiving the bulk of the populations leisure time.

Growing up, I watched cartoons such as Dark Wing Duck, Bugs Bunny, Uncle Scrooge, Woody Wood Pecker, and many others. I watched sitcoms such as Cheers, Seinfeld, Friends, and Fraiser. Times were easy. Turn on the television, check what's on CBS, NBC, and ABC (or FOX if the Simpsons were on). If nothing was there, turn it to MTV where music actually played--unlike today.

As a population, we loved television, and many of us still do today.

Although I haven't been able to catch up many of the new hit TV series, I still occasionally check out shows when I can. Because of this, I have been able to collect a series of the very best TV show quotes for you to enjoy.
