TV Land's The 100 Greatest TV Quotes & Catchphrases Hits the Air With a Comprehensive List of TV's Most Memorable Expressions Over the Past 60 Years

Week-Long Primetime Salute Kicks Off on TV Land Monday, December 11 at 10 P.M. ET/PT

NEW YORK, Nov. 22 -- TV Land counts down The 100 Greatest TV Quotes & Catchphrases in a week-long look at the memorable sayings from cartoons, television series, commercials and news programs over the past 60 years like Donald Trump's (The Apprentice) "You're fired" to Billy Crystal's (Saturday Night Live) "You look mahvelous!" to Walter Cronkite's "And that's the way it is." Building on the success of 2005's The 100 Most Unexpected TV Moments, The 100 Greatest TV Quotes & Catchphrases gives viewers a look inside the origins of some of pop culture's most remembered and repeated catchphrases. The 100 Greatest TV Quotes & Catchphrases, which is produced by Gay Rosenthal Productions (Behind the Music and Little People, Big World), airs on Monday, December 11 from 10 to 11 P.M. ET/PT for five consecutive nights.

TV Land's The 100 Greatest TV Quotes & Catchphrases features original talent interviews and archival clips of those who made them famous as well as those who have been deeply influenced by the catchphrases. From Neil Armstrong's unforgettable "One small step ... " to Fred Flintstone's cartoon catchphrase "Yabba dabba do" to The Price is Right's Johnny Olson's call to "Come on down," TV Land's The 100 Greatest TV Quotes & Catchphrases will take viewers from 100 to 1 in this lively week-long countdown show.

"We have found that television is such a huge part of Baby Boomers' DNA that it makes sense that so much of America's pop culture jargon has come from TV," stated Larry W. Jones, President, TV Land. "We are sure that The 100 Greatest TV Quotes & Catchphrases will strike a chord with the TV Generation and will illustrate the influence the medium has had on pop culture."

The 100 Greatest TV Quotes & Catchphrases by the numbers:

* 1 moment from the 1940's; 10 moments from 1950's; 20 moments from the 1960's; 26 moments from the 1970's; 15 moments from the 1980's; 19 moments from the 1990's; and 9 moments from 2000 and on.

* 28 comedy moments top the list by genre with one-liners including "Dynomite" from Good Times and "Oh my God! They killed Kenny!" from South Park.

* 10 commercials grace the list including "I can't believe I ate that whole thing" from Alka Seltzer and Energizer Batteries "It keeps going and going and going ... "

* 21 variety show phrases include "Jane, you ignorant slut" from Saturday Night Live and "Here it is, your moment of Zen" from The Daily Show. Here is the list of The 100 Greatest TV Quotes & Catchphrases in alphabetical order:

Um...okay. Hey, at least they put "I'm not a doctor, but I play one on TV" there. It'll be cool to see Peter Bergman from his "All My Children" days.

For Friday, December 1 and Saturday, December 2:

Stir Crazy will now encore on Saturday, December 1 at 12pm-2pm instead of immediately after the premiere on Friday, December 2 (10pm-12:10am).
Additionally, the premiere airing of Stir Crazy will be followed by an episode of I Pity The Fool at 12:10am.

Friday encore will be replaced by six episodes of Benson from approx. 12:40am to 4am. Episodes are TBD, for now.

[Scoobiedoo30]

as I said befor I am started to think think that Benson is doing well in The Ratings by the way when do the movies end on TV Land

[Pavan]

If you check the first post, you'll know when the movies end. Not that hard.

[TVFactFan]

It makes no sense for the Merrython to be on December 2nd. Isn't that a little Early?

[JT]

Sure is. Isn't Christmas on a Monday this year? If they had done the Merrython as a 48-hour marathon like usual, it would have been perfect for the 23rd and 24th.

[nickandmore]

So-so changes. It's good to get rid of the things that have been over-done (i.e. Good Times and Three's Company), things that don't belong (The Cosby Show, Murphy Brown and MARATHONS!). I like The Jeffersons at 10-11PM and 2-3AM everynight, good times!

All in the Family is back in the evenings, nice! That Girl, I figured it would join, not bad, at least they aren't giving it 5+ time slots. :)

Overall -- nice changes TV Land.

[catsrule]

What will air from 4:00-5:00 PM on weekends? There's nothing listed for that hour. It sucks that Benson and Murphy Brown are gone. I like the times for Green Acres and that they kept Happy Days and Cheers on.

[Scoobiedoo30]

Gunsmoke will still air from 3:00 pm until 4:00 pm Central Time

[Pavan]

What will air from 4:00-5:00 PM on weekends? There's nothing listed for that hour. It sucks that Benson and Murphy Brown are gone. I like the times for Green Acres and that they kept Happy Days and Cheers on.

Typing error. Gunsmoke will air.

[Scoobiedoo30]

what do you mean Typeing error

[EmoJoe]

wow, that sucks.

[Brent88]

what do you mean Typeing error

It means that it's a typo... an accident.

OK, I sorta do like this. I can watch Amen on i now at 7pm and watch The Jeffersons at 2am(most nights I can't watch at 10pm). I might watch All in the Family as well. I'm glad the odd times for late night shows are over. That was SO annoying, though I did like the mini-marathons.

[catsrule]

I figured it would be Gunsmoke or Bonanza. TVLand plays those two to death. :( They get 14 hours on weekends not counting the morning slots. That's way too much. Give Benson and Murphy Brown some air time. :mad: I don't like TVLand as much as I used to. They used to have several good shows like The Munsters, The Addams Family, Bewitched, I Dream of Jeannie, Adam-12, and Dragnet. Andy Griffith used to be in my top 5 but I've gotten sick of it. At least they still have Green Acres, Happy Days, Leave it to Beaver, and Cheers, with M*A*S*H coming in January.

[Scoobiedoo30]

I have a Question will The Show's start on Time Sanford And Son at 10:00 pm and 10:30 pm Central Time instead of 10:05 amd 10:35 pm Central Time on TV Land

[Pavan]

They will start on time, not sure if it will on December 4, but they will be starting on time sometime in December. If they don't start on time, you'll see just one Jeffersons overnight (2:30am).

[Scoobiedoo30]

I do have to say I will be Miss Benson while it is On Hiatus
I just hope it Returns sometime in 2007

[JulieSomoski]

In my opinion, this schedule has its good points, but also some very bad points. First of all, I like that they took away the minimarathons, and that more shows get more time in the morning and early afternoon slots. A major bad thing is that the shows that do well are all put in primetime, with about 4 airings of each. That means it takes away for otehrs that don't get any airings, especially Murphy Brown and Benson. I mean, they could have given them an airing at like midnight, replacing a Star Trek episode, or even in 4 in the morning. Also, I'm really going to miss the Jeffersons at 7:00-8:00, and at 9:30. I watched every episode every night when it is on at those times, but the 10 and 4 o'clock slots are bad for me. At least I got to see the entire show for its first cycle. Also, no more Three's Company. I mean, I can understand that it is off the schedule due to the number of airplays, but even once would have been good for me. Also, in my opinion, there is too much Star Trek. I mean, I don't mind the show, but 3 airings a day is a bit too much, especially since its an hour show. That's almost as if TVland were to give the Jeffersons 6 episodes a day, since thats only a half hour show.

[JT]

Great great great changes, I think. Glad the mini-marathons are gone and great that "That Girl" is on the regular schedule for the time being. I'll be looking forward to that very much. They seem to be making small strides at turning around...hopefully.

[TVJunkie101]

Glad to see they finally changed their lineup. It's better and a nice step in the right direction.

[clj2]

That looks a lot better than what we have been seeing. So much evener and a much more 'classic' feel. Kind of surprising they brought 'Green Acres' back to the evenings, since it apparently didn't do well when they tried it at 6 before. Great job TVL!

TVLand.com to Air Full-Length Episodes of Marlo Thomas's Ground-Breaking Series That Girl and Emmy Award-Winning Special Free to Be ... You and Me Throughout December

Episodes of Series and Uncut Version of Special Premiere Online on December 1

48-Hour Weekend Marathon of Most Popular Episodes as Well as Special Airs Saturday, December 9 and December 10 on TV Land

NEW YORK, Dec. 1 -- It's Marlo, Marlo and more Marlo beginning Friday, December 1 when TV Land and TVLand.com kick off a month-long celebration showcasing the ground-breaking series That Girl and the Emmy Award-winning special Free To Be ... You And Me. The celebration -- in conjunction with the Season 2 release of That Girl on DVD -- includes the following: full-length episode streams of That Girl on TVLand.com; the uncut version of the pop culture classic Free To Be ... You and Me online until January 31; a 48-hour weekend marathon of the series and special the weekend of December 9 on TV Land and a sweepstakes in which fans can enter to win one of 50 DVD sets of That Girl's seasons one and two.

Beginning Friday, December 1, TVLand.com will begin offering full-length episodes of That Girl for a limited time. Fans will be able to access twelve of the series' most popular episodes (three episodes a week will be rolled out throughout the month) including "Don't Just Do Something, Stand There," "Anatomy of a Blunder," "The Good Skate" and "Counter Proposal." TVLand.com will also stream the uncut version of the 1974 Emmy Award-winning special Free To Be ... You and Me through January 31. Additionally, the website will feature commentary from Marlo Thomas, star of the acclaimed series and special, and clips of some of the most-loved moments from That Girl. Fans can also go to TVLand.com to enter a sweepstakes to win DVD sets of the first two seasons of That Girl. No purchase is necessary and all entries must be received by December 23.

TV Land's on-air celebration begins Saturday, December 9 at 6 a.m. ET/PT with a 48-hour marathon featuring episodes of That Girl as well as Free To Be ... You and Me. The full schedule will be available on TVLand.com.

The beloved TV series That Girl premiered on ABC in 1966 and was the first of its kind to center around a young female character taking charge of her own life. Marlo Thomas starred as Ann Marie, a young woman living in New York City seeking to become an actress. As the show's producer, Thomas set out to create a role model for women on prime time television, proving that they could be strong, independent and happily single.

Free To Be ... You and Me, also produced by Marlo Thomas, aired in 1974 and featured life lessons delivered in skits, short stories and songs performed by Marlo Thomas, Mel Brooks, Alan Alda, Michael Jackson, Rita Coolidge, Harry Belafonte, Roberta Flack, Rosie Grier, Kris Kristofferson, Bobby Morse, Tommy Smothers, Cicely Tyson and Dionne Warwick. In 1972, Marlo Thomas produced Free to Be ... You and Me as a record album for her niece. Through songs such as "William's Doll" -- a song about a little boy who is teased because he wants a doll -- and humorous skits such as "Boy Meets Girl" -- about two babies (Mel Brooks and Marlo Thomas) who discuss whether each is a boy or a girl based on their likes and dislikes -- children listened to the underlying message not to settle for what's expected of you and it's okay to be who you are.

The album sold 500,000 copies and inspired a companion book which went on to become a best seller. Two years later, the songs and stories were performed for television -- a project of The Ms. Foundation for Women, Inc. -- and went on to win an Emmy Award for "Outstanding Children's Special (Evening)" that year.

[Pavan]

Starting December 4, I listed That Girl airing weekdays at 1:30pm...that will NOT be the case. They will be airing encores of TV Land Originals weekdays at 1:30pm and Mondays at 10pm now in addition to the Wednesdays premieres at 10pm, 1am and the encores on Saturdays from 10am-12pm.

BOO!! This schedule was looking so good (and is still better) but I was hoping for That Girl on weekdays!

[storrs19]

Thank God for Broadband Internet since it is the only way to see unedited episodes of tv shows anymore unless they are on dvd. Looks like the usual garbage on TVLand excepting the That Girl marathon.

[JT]

BULL ****, TVLand! BULL ****!

God FORBID them sacrifice pimping their own crap just so that they can show a beloved classic sitcom that hasn't been in the rerun circuit for years.

[Pavan]

JT, it might have been my fault for saying it was That Girl. They only have rights to online and the special weekend marathon. Hopefully if it does well, they will bring it to TV Land onair. But you can watch uncut episodes starting today at TVLand.com!

Yeah, that's the good thing about it all. It'll be great to see the show through the marathon and the occasional download lol Hopefully it does do good, because this'll be the first time I've seen the show since I was like...6 or 7. I was hoping they'd do what they did back in 2001 for the 5th anniversary this year, and show an assortment of their past shows, but that didn't happen, unfortunately.

[Scoobiedoo30]

is TV Land still going to show The Andy Griffith Marathron from 12:15 am until 3:00 am Central Time on TV Land.

[GSU2004]

No big deal about the removal of Good Times, Three's Company and The Cosby Show. Cosby comes on Nick at Nite at a good time slot so that means its doing well over there. Good Times has been played out since the summer. They did overkil with the marathons during the week and 48 hour marathons. Besides TVOne shows it uncut and all the seasons are on DVD.

How come 227 is getting anymore airtime? It has been stuck on Sundays since the second week it premired on the network. They never even gave it a launch marathon like they do other shows. Like I said previously, they set 227 up to fail. I hate that Benson is no longer getting air either. That is another show that is not on DVD and hard to find in syndication. Does anyone know when or if TVLand will air Whats Happening Now since they have the rights to it?

[catsrule]

is TV Land still going to show The Andy Griffith Marathron from 12:15 am until 3:00 am Central Time on TV Land.All the late night marathons are gone, which includes Andy Griffith. Andy Griffith will be on every night from 8:00-9:00 PM and every late night from 1:00-2:00 AM.

[Scoobiedoo30]

So say if I miss The Andy Griffith Show at 7:00 pm and 7:30 pm I can chatcvh the rerun at 12:00 am and 12:30 am

[Mrs. Ducky]

I'm so excited for the 100 Greatest TV Quotes and Catchphrases! I heart countdowns!

[PajamaParty]

Did anyone think the Merrython sucked? I like the episodes they featured on it last year a whole lot better than this one. It seemed they had more of a variety last year. I liked the Highway To Heaven episode I saw last night and the Cheers episode as well, but last year they played a Night Court episode where they got snowed in on Christmas Eve, and one episode of Little House On The Prairie where Pa and Laura buy the same gift for the mother, both which weren't included this year, not that I saw (correct me if I'm wrong). I know they had a lot to pick from and its probably better not to show 2 episodes of one particular show so room can be made to include other series' but I felt those 2 episodes mentioned above were a lot better than the ones picked.

[MikeL]

ido know they keep repeating the same episodes over n over which is a pain the Benson home for xmas was showed twice already and others ido believe they could of done lot better

[Brent88]

They will start on time, not sure if it will on December 4, but they will be starting on time sometime in December. If they don't start on time, you'll see just one Jeffersons overnight (2:30am).

They are starting late at least this week, and The Jeffersons is listed at 2:30am and 3:00am(2:00am is not listed like usual). One episode of Sanford and Son only at 3:30am.

[Pavan]

Yes, they will be on time next week, as the Catchphrase 5-part series is airing. So, Jeffersons will air 2-3am and S&S 3-4am that week. Then the week after the weird times ("off the clock") are back.

I think by January the off the clock schedule will be gone.

[catsrule]

fyi for Green Acres fans, Green Acres airs the same episode at 11:00 AM and 5:00 PM. :(

[Scoobiedoo30]

is the 4:00 pm Central Time airing of Green Acres a Repeat of The 10:00 am Central Time Green Acres

[catsrule]

is the 4:00 pm Central Time airing of Green Acres a Repeat of The 10:00 am Central Time Green AcresYes.

[Scoobiedoo30]

Thanks for letting me know that the 4:00 pm Central Time is a repeat of The 10:00 am Central Time airing of Green Acres

[Pavan]

is the 4:00 pm Central Time airing of Green Acres a Repeat of The 10:00 am Central Time Green Acres

Isn't that what catsrule said? Look:
"for Green Acres fans, Green Acres airs the same episode at 11:00 AM and 5:00 PM. :( "

[friendsfan77]

I think by January the off the clock schedule will be gone.
Thank God.

And yay for That Girl.

[Scoobiedoo30]

I know I will be glad when The Late night Programming will be coming on Time

9:00 PM & 9:30 PM What's Happening!! (replaces Star Trek)

Thank God. I didn't see how Star Trek fit in to begin with. :rolleyes:

[Scoobiedoo30]

I was just wondering How long has What Happening been on Hiatus from TV Land Schedule

[JT]

I just have to say that I am simply loving the "That Girl" marathon this weekend. It's been so, so, so many years since I've seen it, nearly 9 years I think. I love it and I'm glad I'm taping it. Hopefully the ratings were very good and TVLand (or somebody) decides to put the show on its regular schedule.

[clj2]

Maybe if it does well for them they'll air it nights at 9:00PM and 9:30PM. That's what they SHOULD have done instead of bringing "What's Happening" back to those times, given the limited amount of episodes, and I have a feeling that it won't make it at those times. If ST had to be replaced that bad, they should have brought "Good Times" back or even air "Leave it to Beaver" then. Just doesn't make much sense.

Why was the show removed in the first place? If it was ratings, I don't think they would have brought it back at the times they did.

[JT]

I agree about WH!!. I love the show, but airing it in the prime slot of primetime, back-to-back, isn't good, IMO. The show only has 65 episodes, so 14 airings a week will go through the whole run in about a month. That is just as bad as when they had "Gidget" on every night except for Fridays and Saturdays.

Personally, I'm ready for the return of "The Love Boat," but that's just me...

Why was the show removed in the first place? If it was ratings, I don't think they would have brought it back at the times they did.

If you recall, What's Happening!! aired for over 6 months at 11 p.m. and it did well. The afternoon slot even did well. It is a proven player and can score in the ratings. But this looks only to be temporary and it is holding the slot for MASH. Good Times is having contract airplay issues, that is why it is not airing. Same goes for Three's Company. Both of those are among TV Land's best in the ratings, so they are missed, but hopefully they can return in early 2007. And Beaver is airing quite a lot in other day parts.

I think WH!! did much better than Star Trek already at 9 p.m. on Thursday. There is now a good flow from 9pm-12am (WH, Jeffersons, S&S).

[clj2]

I guess that explains it.....kind of smart, it's been gone for so long it's almost a 'new' show. It won't take them long at all to go through a rotation, though, like JT said, roughly a month. They aired The Munsters for years though, and it only had 72 episodes, and they only actually aired 71.

I'm surprised they never brought Cheers, Night Court, 227, Benson, Wings, etc back to the regular lineup. Especially Cheers, given the show's long run and huge success; it apparently did well at Nick@Nite and on TVL at first. I doubt they'll renew Cheers next August.

227 was just never given a chance; Night Court and Wings were just too new for TVL I guess.

[storrs19]

It is sad to see what TVLand has become. Remember how good it was 10 years ago? All shows unedited and only retromercials for commercials. It is nice to see That Girl after it's 9 year or so hiatus. Too bad the only way to see it undedited is online (or buy the dvds). This commercial crap starting at 9:00pm is nuts. Do we really need all these extra commercials every damn night? Thank God I no longer have to watch TVLand now that the That Girl marathon is over. But then most channels that were good when they started are now very poor in comparison.

[JT]

In response to PB...

Yeah, that makes a lotta sense, about "M*A*S*H," I mean. That'll no doubt be its timeslot when it comes, and the back-to-back makes sense for it. This WH!! in primetime definitely is going to be a while-it-lasts thing, I think.

[Classicshowsgurl15]

Is That Girl going to be added to the schedule on TVLand or were they just having a marathon to advertise the dvds?

[Pavan]

That Girl was just a 48-hour marathon to promote the DVDs and it coming to TVLand.com. You can still watch the show online at TVLand.com/video.

I am surprised, but, the ratings were not great. They were lower than the past months' regular scheduled weekends. Thus, there will not be any further consideration of "That Girl" for addition to the regular schedule.

Oh well, there goes hope for something other than Sanford and Son, Little House, Bonanza, Gunsmoke, Andy Griffith, and The Jeffersons. :rolleyes: I like those shows but they're overplayed! At least they've tapered off on Sanford and are going to downplay The Jeffersons next month.

[TVJunkie101]

I'm not surprised it didn't do well :(

I guess DVD sets are selling well, though, which is a good thing!

Change for TONIGHT & TOMORROW ONLY:

The Andy Griffith Show has been scheduled tonight (Thursday, December 14) at 9:00pm and 9:30pm, replacing What's Happening!! so it can give 100 Greatest TV Catchphrases a high lead-in (4 episodes of Andy Griffith from 8-10pm)
What's Happening!! will return to the slot on Saturday.

The Christmas episode of Andy Griffith Show has also been scheduled tomorrow night (Friday, December 15) at 9:30pm, replacing the Christmas episode of Sanford and Son in the Ho Ho Holiday Friday’s stunt (Fridays 8-10pm), also to give 100 Greatest Catchphrases' finale a higher lead-in.

Who on this god given Earth wants to watch that much Andy Griffith??

[Scoobiedoo30]

I am sad to see What Happening Leave TV Land Schedule

[Brent88]

After all these decades, Andy Griffith still gets the ratings. :eek:

Well, well, well, The Jeffersons gets pushed back more(at least it will start at a normal time now!)

[clj2]

So, let me get this straight - Green Acres will be airing 5x per day? That's a surprise.

Nice to see Beaver bumped up more. I was kinda skeptical about how long WH!! would last at 9/9:30..it's a good daytime (once a day only) show or maybe double episodes on the weekends.

The schedule is definately improving. What do you think PB?

[BensonFan]

Who on this god given Earth wants to watch that much Andy Griffith??

While I'm not anti-Andy, they are getting ridiculous. Of course they are also going by ratings. If people don't tune in to other shows, those other shows will be dropped. When TVLand is 24 hrs of Andy & Beaver, everyone will know why.

Yes, 5 airings a day for Green Acres, at least on weekdays.
What's Happening!! would have done much better at 11 & 11:30 p.m. They should have moved Sanford & Son at 9 & 9:30p.m. That is too much Andy at a time, but Andy will only be airing 4 times a day despite this, as it is only in primetime. On Sundays it is 5 because of the Sunday morning airing.

I would think in January they'll change some of this. Andy four in a row seems temporary to me. Maybe they will air Little House at 7 & 8 in January...just guessing.

[clj2]

They should have canned that early morning and 10:00AM airing of Beaver and replaced them both with Lucy, then done Beaver at 8:00/8:30..would seem more logical to me. Even though I like TAGS I don't want to sit and watch four episodes in a row!

[Scoobiedoo30]

I would love to see Sanford And Son in Prime Time Again

[benjamoon]

I'm glad to see so many airings for 50s and 60s shows... too bad it's the same 3 shows though
