Famous TV One-liners

[MULTIZ321]

-Original Cast of 'Dallas'

"Would you believe?"

"Who was that masked man?"

"Who loves ya, baby?"

"How YOU doin'?"

"Can we talk?"

"Seriously?"

Recognize these questions? They're all TV catch phrases. They come from:
Get Smart (by bumbling agent Maxwell Smart),
The Lone Ranger (asked by various people whom the Lone Ranger had helped),
Kojak (Lt. Theo Kojak, played by Telly Savalas),
Friends (Joey Tribbiani's favorite pick-up line),
talk show host Joan Rivers
and Grey's Anatomy (asked and declared in conversations between the residents).

One of the most famous TV questions came to be on this date in 1980 when an episode of Dallas posed the question, "Who shot J.R?."

Quote: "Is that your final answer?" — Regis Philbin, Who Wants to be a Millionaire

I don't have an original idea in my head -- not that there's anything wrong with that.

I think the "Godfather" has the best lines

1. I'm going to make him an offer he cant refuse
2. Keep your friends close, your enemies closer
3. Never tell people outside the family what you are thinking

Next you are going to tell us "So it goes." came from somebody else?

"I know nothing." (Hogan's Heroes)

The Phrase Wasn't Original With Him, Either.

Next you are going to tell us "So it goes." came from somebody else?

Using that as a catchphrase in Slaughterhouse-5 as he did doesn't give Kurt Vonnegut any exclusive rights.

So it's OK for us to say that on TUG-BBS & other places.

An obvious one for you, Alan:

And away we go! - Jackie Gleason Show

 

[AwayWeGo]

You Zeroed In On The Good One.

And away we go! - Jackie Gleason Show

Fine an entertainer as The Great One was, Jackie Gleason still had some stuff on his TV show -- & the spinoff series -- that was too edgy & too mean to be funny, such as . . .

"One of these days, Alice. One of these days. POW ! -- right in the kisser."

. . . and . . .

"To the moon, Alice. To the moon!"

I mean, what's funny about angry meanness like that ?

Meanwhile, back at the Orlando FL timeshare scene, Cypress Pointe Resort recently completed its new R-A-L-P-H building on site -- Repairs And Laundry Plus Housekeeping.

Over at Cypress Pointe Phase Two, they also recently installed an on-site utility building. I am alone, I think, in agitating for them to name it the A-L-I-C-E building -- All Laundry Items Cleaned Efficiently.

Nobody else gets the Gleason show reference. So it goes.

This Goes Way Back To The Days Of Black & White T. V. (Pre-Color).

The weekly NBC Colgate Comedy Hour had a recurring bit called The Soldiers played by Tom D'Andrea & Hal March. Hal was the sergeant & Tom was the private. Or maybe Hal was the private & Tom was the sergeant, I don't remember after all these years.

Each week's "Soldiers" skit was new, but each one ended up with the sergeant saying right up in the private's face, "I got a job to do and you got a job to do. And it's my job to see that you do your job. And together, we'll get the job done together."

Okay, here's the thing.

I thought that the thread was famous TV one liners. Movies should have their own thread. And that thought was "fully baked"
