yeah, Poppo was the giveaway. In re watching this odd series, which wasn't funny, had inane scripts, but somehow worked due to the talents of Patty Duke (and William Schallert), I was reminded that when Patty wasn't saying 'bye-ee', the characters had this slang word for 'so long'-'longdelioso'.
I'm sure the writers were hoping that it would catch on among America's teens. For obvious reasons that didn't happen.
"Gentlemen, I'm surprised at you. The American farmer didn't get where he is today by celebrating Christmas with phony trees and wax popcorn, plastic candy canes. Gentlemen, to the American farmer Christmas is real. He goes out with ax in hand, chops down his own tree, brings it back, garlands it with strings of popcorn from his own corn crib, makes cider from his own apple trees. And when Christmas carols ring out in the still of the night, he looks up to the sky and says, 'I'm proud to be an American farmer on Christmas.'"
"Why do you want to irritate your corn?"
"Irrigate. It means put water on it.
"Won't that irritate it?"
"While yer away on yer trip, I thought you might like to avail yerself of Haney's Farm Mindin' Service."
"HANEY'S FARM MINDING SERVICE?"
"Yessir, at Haney's Farm Mindin' Service, for a nom-yew-nal fee we will move into yer house, eat yer food, drink yer likker, and turn away any unwanted relatives that might show up at yer door."
"How 'bout a dehydrated chicken?"
"A dehydrated chicken?"
"Yeah. Just add water and bones, and let it sit for a couple hours, and you might have your own reconstituted chicken."
"That's the most ridiculous thing I ever heard."
"Why don't we give away this one?"
"No, that's the dress I graduated from high school in."
"How about this one?"
"That's the dress I wore the first day of college."
[holding a black, low-cut dress] "What about this one?"
"Oh no, we're not...a couple. We're singles...like...those individually wrapped pieces of cheese that are next to each other...but...stay separate...like...just friends."
"Did I touch a nerve there?"
"Oh yeah."
"Look, you are a great guy, and it is the things you love that make you who you are."
Since no one else posted something, here's a quote:
"He was brought across in 1228. Preyed on humans for their blood. Now he wants to be mortal again. To repay society for his sins, To emerge from his world of darkness, ...

(I hope it's an easy one)
And I'll share some other quotes while waiting to see if someone guess it.
"My very old friend Thomas wagered me he would be able to persuade you to deliver this most intelligent and beautiful woman to him by simply telling you what you so desperately wanted to hear. There may be a cure. Well there isn't one of course. When will you learn Nicholas, that this quest of yours is a hopeless one, that it will only cause you and others misery. Normally I hate to lose but the look of utter foolishness on your face almost makes it worthwhile."
"So, did you learn anything while you were dying on me?"
"Yeah, I learned that I have to live with the choice I made 800 years ago, and that forgiveness is not something you ask for, it's something that you earn here, among the living."
"I can really see you two together. You must have been really something once."

Wow. This one's been dormant for a while... "Uh I've just been handed a news flash. The word "Canada" is unrhymeable. It's easier to - I don't know - get drunk and try to climb a bull

I thought this would be too obscure-I'll add a word that may help-
"Longdelioso, Poppo"
no, they're not speaking in tongues

"Poppo" sounds like Patty Duke's name for her Dad, so I'll guess
"The Patty Duke Show."

Even if you didn't like the show, you have to admit that working "Ballet Russe" into the theme song was inventive!
New show:

Okay, let's get a bit more obvious...
"Gentlemen, I'm surprised at you. The American farmer didn't get where he is today by celebrating Christmas with phony trees and wax popcorn, plastic candy canes. Gentlemen, to the American farmer Christmas is real. He goes out with ax in hand, chops down his own tree, brings it back, garlands it with strings of popcorn from his own corn crib, makes cider from his own apple trees.

"The blues isn't about making yourself feeling better, it's about making other people feel worse."
"You know, you play pretty well for someone with no real problems."
"Hey, what'll I tell the boss?"
"Tell him that I'm going to the back-seat of my car, with the woman I love. And I won't be back for ten minutes!"

"No."

"No!"

"Hand over all your money in a paper bag."
"Yes, yes, I know the procedure for armed robbery. I do work in a convenience store, you know."

It IS the Simpsons.
Look- why not actually POST SOMETHING after getting an answer correct?
That's how we PLAY these games and it's unfair for everyone else that you ignore that.
If you are having trouble coming up with quotes, you can PM me and I can fix that-
which means the only real answer is you don't WANT to play right.

Ok,
I'll try again.
Hopefully, nobody will decide to break the few rules we have again, and we can just play right.

That's The Big Bang Theory.
If anyone wants to take the turn, go ahead. It's everybody's chance to post...
I'll post a new quote in a day or two if no one else has done so before...
