TV series….sigh…! What would I ever do without them?! I am bored, I watch Modern Family. I need something to stimulate my mind, I watch SUITS. I feel a tantrum coming, I watch ‘CASTLE’ throw one instead. After hours of classes, I need to unwind, I watch F.R.I.E.N.D.S and go all ‘Ahh…wish I thought of that before Chandler Bing did!’
There are hundreds of them. No, thousands! Fantasy, drama, crime, comedy, medical…yes they belong to various genres, but one thing that is common to them is kick-ass lines. There is always that one quote said by that one character in every episode of a series that makes you want to give him a rousing ovation. So I am gonna go ahead and list out five of my most beloved quotes from my favourite TV series and hope as you read them, you think of ten more that you liked.

5. “Every fairy tale needs a good old-fashioned villain.”- Moriarty; Sherlock
Sherlock’s arch nemesis Moriarty’s words could not be truer. If every story was all about glittering gold and unending joy, a smile would never be sought after and good would not be good enough. And you must agree that no series is as much fun as ones flavored with an amusing nemesis :D. How else would Sherlock dazzle everyone with his wits?!

4. "JOEY DOESN’T SHARE FOOD!!!" - Joey Tribbiani; F.R.I.E.N.D.S
When will people realize that neither do I ?! (kidding!……………not really :P) Joey Tribbiani is probably the one character that makes you want to pull his cheeks cuz he is so adorable, or bang your head against the wall because he is ‘that’slow. But whatever his part be in a particular episode, he will surely leave you in splits after you watch it.

3. “Being aware of your crap and actually overcoming your crap are two very different things.” - Cristina Yang; Grey’s Anatomy
Grey’s Anatomy has one of the best cast ensembles ever. Each of the portrayed characters are glorious in their own way. McDreamy makes every woman’s heart go aflutter. Meredith Grey’s voiceovers help you realize so many important things. And Cristina Yang…. What do I say about her?!...She is brilliant, sarcastic, haughty, funny and has the BEST lines on the show. She makes you grin and at the same time imparts wisdom (in her own way that is :P).
2. "Who was murdered, and was it gruesome?" - Richard Castle; Castle
Oh yes they were! Intriguing plots, witty repartee and the rugged handsomeness of Mr. Castle, makes this show a rather awesome one. And Kate Beckett just adds to every fantastic aspect of Castle.

1. "I refuse to answer on the grounds that I don’t want to!" - Harvey Specter; Suits
Harvey Specter has often been described as ‘equal parts of swagger and smarts’. An apt description if there ever was! Each of his quotes are better than the other. And the way he says them….ah! Yes he is cocky and he knows it. But he can afford to say exactly what he wants because he is just that good at what he does.
