Years ago it was Seinfeld ruling the quotable roost in television sitcom world. You know you’ll never forget “close talkers” or the meaning of “spongeworthy.” But for the first time since then, I’ve found a show I truly think is quoteworthy. Its closet competitor lines-wise is How I Met Your Mother which follows it on Monday night. But The Huge Bang Theory rules over that show these days for me.

Some of Sheldon’s (played stupendously by Jim Parsons) lines are a bit convoluted to remember and I really am not Louis (oops!) Bill Nye, the Science Guy. However, overall the show’s writers deserve kudos for a job well done. Read on past the jump for some of the best lines I’ve found from the show.

Obviously, this is in the “rumor” category, but Elizabeth Hasselbeck might be leaving The View for Fox News. It’s probably just a stunt anyway to get a higher salary. It’s not likely there aren’t other women of conservative ideologies in the world who couldn’t replace her. If it does end up being true, it would be a mistake for her to leave.

Even if you don’t concur with her views, the mainstream publicity of her on-air feuds (such as the one with Rosie O’Donnell that made Rosie leave the show and start her own variety show. Let’s blame Hasselbeck for that one) make for great ratings. Actually, she represents a demographic of woman that could stop watching the show if she leaves.

Naturally, I’m not what you would call an avid fan of The View. Quite the opposite. In fact, if I go to Hell when I die, I’d likely end up in the audience of The View. But even I recognize a bad career move when I see one. At Fox, Hasselbeck would be one conservative voice among many. On The View, she is unique.
