TV Land lists the 100 greatest television catchphrases

[CareBlair]

NEW YORK — Monday, December 11, 2006 — Sometimes it takes only a word, or just a few, to become immortalized in television history.

The TV Land cable network has compiled a list of the 100 greatest catchphrases in TV, from the serious — Walter Cronkite's nightly signoff "And that's the way it is" — to the silly: "We are two wild and crazy guys!"

The network will air a countdown special, "The 100 Greatest TV Quotes & Catch Phrases," over five days starting tonight.

"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," said Larry Jones, TV Land president.


In alphabetical order, TV Land's list:

"Good night, John Boy" ("The Waltons")

I was wondering if the line from The Hulk would be in there. "Don't make me angry, you wouldn't like me when I'm angry."

Just knew the Nip/Tuck line would be there somehow
