TV Quote Game

[mamabear]

Yeah, sorry about that. Things have been super crazy lately. I'm not sure how I even find time to breathe lol.

Here's a hint and another quote:
It's a medical drama starring Freddie Highmore as a highly gifted and neurodivergent surgeon.

"Lesson one: don't suggest to the head of surgery that working with the head of surgery is a form of punishment."

[Shane]

The description reminds me of a show that my dad watches. The Good Doctor?

[mamabear]

That's it! Your turn.

[Shane]

Ok, this show's been quoted before, so this one shouldn't be a stumper.

_____, you don't want to get into it with ______. The guy's one lab accident away from being a super villain.

[Shane]

A quote from the above-mentioned potential super villain.

I'm not crazy. My mother had me tested.

[josie]

Well, if no one else is going to jump in... The Big Bang Theory!

I actually didn't recognize the first quote (somehow... despite watching it every day), but even that one was guessable

[Shane]

You've got it. Good luck, Josie.

[josie]

This has probably been used before, but I'm new to it so it's the obvious choice

Man 1: Who is this kid?
Man 2: There's no need for that.
Woman: I'll tell you who he is. His name is Shut Up Your Dog!
Man 1: You know what's ironic? You come over here complaining and I have never once said a word about that obnoxious parrot of yours that's always squawking.
Man 2: Parrot?
Woman: What parrot?
(montage) Woman: [Name!] [Name!] [Name!]

[josie]

No? Some hints:

* It lasted 11 seasons, ended in 2020
* The two main characters in the quote are Jay and Gloria. They and their son are one part of a large interconnected family
* The joke in the quote is that they do not have a parrot, but the woman (Gloria) saying the name Jay in the montage sounds like one

[Shane]

Definitely haven't seen this one.

[josie]

I'm not the only person in the world who hasn't seen it? Yay!

* Aired on ABC
* Two-word title - M____ F___
* It had the same "documentary" style as The Office

Gloria: "OK, Manny, remember, as soon as you land (in Colombia), watch out for Malaria."
Manny: "Why? I got a shot for that."
Gloria: "I'm talking about your cousin Malaria. She's coming to pick you up, but she might have Rubella."
Manny: "What?"
Gloria: "That's her daughter, but make room in the car because she could have Diptheria.
Manny: "Who's Diptheria?"
Gloria: "Manny, diptheria is a disease! That's why I want you to be apart from her in the car!"

[josie]

The extended family the show follows includes:
- An older man, his much younger wife and his stepson
- The older man's daughter, her husband and their three kids
- The older man's son, his husband and the baby they adopt in the first episode

Straight, gay, old, young... very modern

I don't think I can give it away more than that 

[mamabear]

Sorry I'm late to the party, i recognized it from the first quote lol. It's Modern Family. 😄

[mamabear]

I guess since I already know it's right, I'll go ahead and post my quote.

Nurse: "She's adorable!"
Dad: "Thanks, I made her myself."

[josie]

Sounds like it's probably a comedy, but aside from that no idea, sorry

[mamabear]

It is from a comedy. It's a 6-season comedy that ended in 2017. Starring Jean-Luc Bilodeau as a young, single dad suddenly thrust into fatherhood, Derek Theler as his goofy older brother, and Tahj Mowry as the uptight roommate.

[mamabear]

Maybe another hint?

[josie]

I don't think I've ever heard of it, so I need lots of hints, yes

[mamabear]

The main character is Ben Wheeler, brother to New York Ranger Danny Wheeler. They live with their roommate, Tucker Dobbs, and are often vexed by their overbearing mother, Bonnie Wheeler. They would never survive Ben's sudden new role as a young, single dad if it weren't for their best friend, Riley Perrin.
The title consists of two words which are a pun on what one might call the mother of their child (but in reverse since the show is about the dad).

[josie]

Based more on guessing from the hints in the last sentence than the rest... Baby Daddy?

[mamabear]

That's correct! Your turn.

[josie]

Yay!

If someone else wants a turn, you have 24 hours to go for it before I come back

[josie]

No takers? Okay. Err... a recent modern take on a fictional character that has been portrayed a lot. Of a nationality that likes tea

Man 1: There's a severed head in the fridge.
Man 2: Just tea for me thanks.

[mamabear]

That would most definitely be Sherlock lol. Love that show.

[josie]

It most definitely would be! You're up.
