During the past 12 months, we were lucky enough to see a lot of amazing television, and we couldn’t let the year end without engaging in an annual tradition paying tribute to one of the things that TV does best — produce endlessly quotable pronouncements.
On Thursday, we kicked off the #BestTVLines2014 hashtag on Twitter, and fans of the small screen immediately joined in with thousands of hilarious, moving, dark, weird and funny contributions. If you have some time to kill, check out #BestTVLines2014 on Twitter for all the insanity. Below is a selection of a few of our favorite lines. Of course, if you have more to add, feel free to keep #BestTVLines2014 going strong into the new year!
