Favorite TV Quotes and Catch Phrases

[TVYesteryear]

There are some tv shows where you can say a phrase or two and most folks will know exactly which show you're talking about. For example, "Elizabeth! I'm comin' to join ya, honey!" was commonly said on Sanford & Son. Another one was "Sit on it!" from Happy Days. These sayings become popular and are frequently quoted or used in conversation. They're a part of our pop culture. Everyone has their favorites. What are your favorite TV quotes and catch phrases?

 

Some of mine:

 

Book 'em, Danno. - Hawaii Five-o

I know nothing! - Hogan's Heroes

I love it! I love it! - Dukes of Hazzard

I love it when a plan comes together. - The A-Team

Beam me up, Scotty - Star Trek (Yeah, I know that exact phrase was never used on the show, but it's become irrevocably tied to the show.)

Let's bust some punks! - The Good Guys

Many, many years ago, I worked for a hospital. Our second-level manager was named, no kidding, Dr. McCoy. Every time he left the office, my co-workers and I would turn to each other and say "He's dead, Jim."
