In honor of the stupid tradition known as TV Turn-off Week, The Toronto Star's Melanie Arpe has a list of great TV quotes from over the years. Who says you can't learn anything from television?

"I thought I was in love once, and then later I thought that maybe it was just an inner ear inbalance." - Fraser, Due South.
"Never get caught in bed with a dead woman or a live man." - J.R., Dallas.
"Ever since we said 'I do' there are so many things that we don't." - Lucy, I Love Lucy.
"Sometimes the road less travelled is less travelled for a reason." - Jerry Seinfeld, Seinfeld.
