Which classic TV lines should the Emmys honor?

Aug 13, 2008, 09:57 AM | by Gary Susman

Categories: Emmys

House2_l How nice that the TV Academy, marking a television season that was truncated while producers spent months deciding whether or not they wanted to pay writers, is honoring memorable lines of TV dialogue at this year's Emmy ceremony. According to the Hollywood Reporter, various TV personalities will be reciting classic phrases, along the lines of "Good night, John Boy," or "Live long and prosper." Let's hope the list of lines is not etched in stone yet, since I'm sure we all have plenty of suggestions for which lines they should honor, and who should say them, if the original actor isn't available. For instance, I'd love to hear Ed Asner get up there and recite his own most unforgettable line of TV dialogue: "You have spunk. I hate spunk," though I'm not sure enough viewers would recognize that one. Also, I'd be tempted to lard the list with quotes from House, since Hugh Laurie (pictured) gets better lines than just about anyone on TV. In fact, let's just save time and have the ridiculously talented Mr. Laurie recite all the lines, in whichever accent pleases him. But let's have your suggestions to the Academy below.

Miss Parker- Sometimes I think you and I are the only one around here who are sane. Which doesn't say much about me.

Miss Parker- I want to kill her not screw her.

Miss Parker-Do I look like a babysitter? So, let me get this straight. They can send a man to the moon but neither of you can open Broots' system to back track to see who the leak is in this place.

And then Mr. Lyle, who used to not have a thumb, getting a thumb and Mr. Raines, who had a thumb, losing his thumb to Mr. Lyle. And then finding out that not only one pretender escaped from the Centre. No, three of them did. And then trying to locate a live psychiatrist, only to find a dead doc and being arrested by a guy who's not really a federal agent. Oh, and while we're at it, why don't we just throw Mr. Parker into the mix?

And, and Xander's crying and not talking, and, and I was having fruit punch, and I thought, well, Joyce will never have any more fruit punch - ever, and she'll never have eggs, or yawn or brush her hair, not ever, and no one will explain to me why.

For me, thrown in some House, Scrubs, or Friends lines in there and it'll seal the deal. This classic TV line gimmick would make the Emmys freaking entertaining.

CINDY: Hey! The pills you got Max hooked on live with the Tidy Bowl man now.
MAX: Oh, please tell me you're not one of those people -- Because a raindrop fell in the ocean 10,000 years ago and a butterfly farted in India, you and I are sitting right here right now enjoying a cup of coffee that tastes like goat piss. 

MAX: You're such a gentleman… Too bad I'm not a lady.

LOGAN: When some girls don't eat dinner they get real cranky.
ORIGINAL CINDY: By the way, some of those black-helicopter storm-trooper folks stopped by, asking about a transgenic teenage killing machine... I said you were out.
MAX: What is it with guys and lesbians anyway? I mean, what's so damn fascinating about being unwanted by the opposite sex?
MAX: You know, only a bored, rich, liberal, white guy would piss away a fortune to prove he wasn't a bored, rich, liberal, white guy....

What about Dark Angel?!
EYES ONLY: Do not attempt to adjust your set. This is a Streaming Freedom Video bulletin. The cable hack will last exactly 60 seconds. It cannot be traced, it cannot be stopped and it is the only free voice left in the city.
MAX: Kendra, this is a motorcycle. Its sole reason for being is to go fast, very fast. Not for you to use as a clothesline. Now, make no mistake. I love you as a friend and a roommate, but I love my motorcycle more. Stay away from the bike, okay?
MAX: Girls kick ass. Says so on the T-shirt.
NORMAL: Well, well, well . . . so far, your moron colleagues have come up with the following excuses for why you're strolling in here at the crack of noon - you had a dental emergency, your aunt died . . . again, and my personal favorite from this idiot - you were detained by the sector police for practicing witchcraft. Now, would you care to further insult my intelligence? 
MAX: I overslept.

Correction, I'm a sociopath. A psychopath doesn't know the difference between right and wrong; I know the difference, I just don't care. Killing you or eating a popsicle, it's all the same to me.
