Hey, TV Land - a message from the ladies: Kiss my grits!

‘‘The 100 Greatest TV Quotes and Catchphrases” (starting Monday at 10 p.m.) features a mere four offerings from women. A few TV experts are now saying ‘‘Never mind” to the sexist tally.

‘‘It’s crazy that there are so few women represented,” said Terry Lawler, executive director of New York Women in Film & Television. ‘‘It’s a glaring omission, and you have to wonder how many women were part of the choosing. You also have to wonder why there wasn’t any effort to ask, ‘Are we representing the full spectrum of women and shows that have been important?’ ”

My favorite Married,With Children line was when,after Peg had done something stupid,he said to her "Peg,you know I don't have any insurance so you must be killing me for the sport".

One of my favourite lines from Cosby Show was when Claire Huxtable told Cliff after one of the kids had misbehaved

Cliff, we planted roses but we got weeds.

I'm not sure if it is listed on the link you sent, or the actual quote for that matter, but in one episode Kelly tried to pick up a lifeguard at a beach.

After someone screamed for help and the lifeguard ran to assist, Kelly said "If they can't swim, why do they come to the beach?!"

Like a Democrat talking to Republicans.

Bud: You can't be this dumb.
Kelly: I can be anything I wanna be, it's the '90s.
