Questions span decades of television, from Star Trek's "Space: the final frontier" to Breaking Bad's "I am the one who knocks." You'll encounter quotes from sitcoms like Friends, Seinfeld, and The Big Bang Theory alongside dramas like Game of Thrones. Many of these catchphrases have outlived their shows -- "No soup for you!" entered the cultural lexicon despite appearing in just one Seinfeld episode.
TV Guide and other publications have consistently ranked "Lucy, you got some 'splainin' to do" from I Love Lucy and "D'oh!" from The Simpsons among the most famous TV quotes ever. "Here's Johnny!" from The Tonight Show and "Live long and prosper" from Star Trek are also perennial favorites.
The Simpsons, Seinfeld, and Friends are widely considered the most quotable TV shows in history. The Simpsons alone has contributed dozens of phrases to everyday English, including "D'oh!" which was added to the Oxford English Dictionary in 2001. Seinfeld popularized terms like "double-dipping," "close talker," and "yada yada yada."
One of the earliest TV catchphrases was "And away we go!" from The Jackie Gleason Show in the 1950s. Ralph Kramden's "To the moon, Alice!" from The Honeymooners (1955-1956) also became one of television's first widely repeated lines, though it would not fly in modern television.
