Quotation Marks – Bones, New Girl and Burn Notice

Now that the World Series is over, Fox can get back to airing some real programming. That means Bones is back — baby bump in tow, the New Girl is new again, and the kids from Glee are being joyful — looking at the previews for next week, maybe too joyful. These were some of our favorite quotes this week. Did we miss one of yours?

Bones (Review)

“I can make, toast; it’s just your kitchen is very small.” – Bones
“My kitchen is the same size that it’s always been. Look at it.” – Booth

“We’re family, Bones. Even you should know what that means.” – Booth

“[After Bones makes an especially astute observation] She’s having that baby so the next generation will have someone to make them feel dumb.” – Wendell

“We can have whatever life we want … you know that, right?” – Booth

“Why did I think this was going to be easy?” – Booth

“Families talk about things.” — Jess pleading with Nick to talk things out
“Families ignore things until they go away.” — Nick

“Everybody has their moment. We might get a cat one day. That cat might play the keyboard. A bear might fall on our trampoline. We don’t have to have it figured out right now.” — Winston

Grimm (Review)

“I had to respect mine, otherwise I couldn’t sit down for a week.” – Hank

Secret Circle (Review)

Community (Review)

“Father, I’ll never forget what you said to me on my first day of school; ‘Comb your hair, you idiot, you look Greek.'” – Pierce

The Big Bang Theory (Review)

“Ladies, please. These four walls once housed an intellectual salon where the mind received nourishment as well as the stomach. But through no one’s fault … Penny … the quality of dinner conversation in this apartment has declined. And again, I’m looking at no one in particular. Penny.” – Sheldon

“Sheldon, sometimes you forget: I’m a lady. And with that comes an estrogen fueled need to page through glossy magazines that make me hate my body.” – Amy

“Point of order: As you’re in distress, it would be customary for me to offer you a hot beverage. But, I’m a guest in your home, so it would be customary for you to offer me a beverage. How do you want to proceed vis-à-vis beverages?” – Sheldon 

“At this moment I find myself craving human intimacy and physical contact.” – Amy
“Oh boy … You know ours is a relationship of the mind.” – Sheldon

The League (Review)

“Taco, I don’t want you breaking into my house at 4 o’clock in the morning anymore!” — Kevin

Castle (Review) 

“You going to promise not to come look for me?” – Robber

“Nazi gold? Cold fusion? Map to Atlantis?” – Ryan
“Hey, Castle Jr. Could you maybe start thinking like a cop?” – Esposito

The X-Factor (Review and Review)

“In no particular random order …” — Steve Jones announcing over and over and over again the (particular) randomness of order of The X-Factor contestants before calling them out during the elimination show (Side note from Michael Noble: I didn’t realize there was a “particular random” order. Wouldn’t, by definition, there be a particular order if it wasn’t “particular” … ??? Or, at least, wouldn’t they cancel one another out of being “random” or “particular” or … I mean … was Stevie Baby just trying to pull a fast one up there on stage Thursday night? What? “Random order” isn’t good enough for him? Maybe he was being too “particular” for his own good. Am I missing something? Mommy?)

How I Met Your Mother (Review)

“Her brain is marinating in a cocktail of hormones, mood swings and jacked-up nesting instincts. I mean, yes, right now, Lily is a goddess, bestowing the miracle of life. But damn she dumb.” – Robin

“Hey dofuss. It’s me, you at age 15. And we made a deal [points to paper] we would always boink any chick that wants to boink us.” – 15 Year old Ted

“At first there was too much eye contact, then not enough. Where do you look during sex?” – Ted
“Into the hidden camera at future me watching it.” – Barney

“Humph. Nothing new.” – Maggie

“I’m surprised to see you flying with us again so soon.” – Dean
“Seems I can’t get enough of your Pan Am service.” – Ginny

“Ted … I disagree with your politics, your attitude towards women and, well, you as a person in general. But, you show up. You come through. And, not everyone does that … so, thank you.” – Maggie
