Me Madness 2025: Vote for the ultimate TV famous phrase!
Say "What's up, doc?" to this year's Me Madness! We want to find the greatest TV famous phrase! Which one will come out on top? Vote for your favorites and see who takes home the gold!
In 2025, we're looking at the TV phrases that we can't stop quoting. From recurring catchphrases, to opening lines, to things that only had to be said once to cement a place in pop culture forever — we're here to find the ultimate famous phrase.
Will The Andy Griffith Show's "Nip it in the bud!" nip the other phrases in the bud? Will Looney Tunes say "Th-th-th-th-that's all, folks!" to the competition? Or will "Berwyn!" from our very own Svengoolie be the Ber-winner?
Come back on Wednesdays and Saturdays beginning at 8AM E | 7C to vote starting with Round 1 on Saturday, March 8, through the finals, starting on Wednesday, April 2.
Then, tune in to the season six premiere of Collector's Call on Sunday, April 6 at 6:30P | 5:30C to find out the winner, or check MeTV.com on Monday, April 7!
What phrase will take home the gold? Let’s find out.

We need George Of The Jungle and Rocky & Bullwinkle added to MeTV. That gives us at least three new phrases...
Watch out for that tree! (George)
Hey, Rocky! Watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat! (Bullwinkle)
You knew the job was dangerous when you took it (Super Chicken)
Watch out for that tree! (George)
Hey, Rocky! Watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat! (Bullwinkle)
You knew the job was dangerous when you took it (Super Chicken)
"watch out for that tree"!
and Rocky and Bullwinkle had some higher level cartoon humor...I was eating Farina (with butter and honey) watching the show when I was a yung'un

I did the vote yesterday(I was a day late. Whoops), and I really really really really really really REALLY hope that The Three Stooges make it to the finals. Eeekk! I'm soo exited!! I can't wait to vote Wednesday and find out who won on Monday(I'm not going to watch the season 6 premier of Collector's Call BTW)! I think it's going to probably be Looney Tunes that wins, but there's always the hope that maybe The Three Stooges will win! Who here is voting with The Three Stooges?
how about "I'll lead - I'm right behind you"
or "what a brain"
or "hey chuckle-head"
or "you're gettin in my hair"
or "spread out" :)

Love all those phrases! Too bad they didn't make it to the finalsOh well, at least there's a chance that 'ol Bugs will win!
this round suck why 2 votes? thats so short MASH please win
I dont know about a "catch phrase" but Perry Mason and Hogans Heros are my two favorites! I am in my 80s and they both help me relax at night before i go to bed. Hogans heros Schultz says the catch phrase..that is popular: "I know Nothing..I know Nothing--I see nothing. thanks.Please always keep Hogans heros and Perry Mason they do so much for someone my age.
"apple strudel?!" I love John Banner and Werner Klemperer - I am a kraut and would have sold 1/2 my soul to talk and have some Kraut and brats and Hacker Pschorr with hefe:)
we are sitting beside each other - watching Larry Hovis wondering if he did ok with the chemistry:(
i think we need TJ Hooker at 3pm and harry o 4pm
lets have adam-12 on weeknights at 7pm Emergency 8pm Dragnet 9pm
Sounds great, but where would Andy Griffith go? I guess that he could be on in the afternoons, along with all those westerns. Sounds like a plan!
what not have andy on weekdays mornings at 7am
ok - here goes
My #1 all time fave phrase (more like a line) is......
"YER RIGHT!!!!!!!! I am a killer. I just killed a whole pint!"

what show is that from?
am sure it's "crime free mayberry"
cool
to me it's the funniest scene ever on TAGS ; the 2nd funniest scene is....Ange and Barn getting in the Baron Von Richthofen cycle and trying to take off... and you know ...Ange wasn't really happy with that (kind of a 1/2 over the mouth chuckle)..you can tell it made Beloved BARN looked really stupid (that was breaking news)
I did round four, and I think that Perry Mason got voted out the round before last unfortunately. I'm glad that The Three Stooges catchphrases are still going strong though!
Collector's Call? why who is voting lisa whelchel is not ironic Svengoolie yes is so popular
how MASH is not this round? or andy? lets hope mash WINS
Well it’s been voted out. I’m
Sorry it’s horse hockey that it didn’t make it this far.

It's Buffalo Bagels!
I actually had to flip a coin on one set of choices in the fourth round.
my 2 fave shows are gone: Griffith and M*A*S*H
on the voteing yeah why is it short? but lets hope mash wins
I'm trying to vote with my head and not my heart and its hard . . . i.e: I may not like the show more than another but the phrase is much more "iconic"
i loved to see a jack webb block
I did round #3 today, and I didn't see Perry Mason's catchphrase! Did it not get enough votes, or was it just not in this round? I don't see why it couldn't get enough votes, it's a really good catchphrase! Oh well.....At least The Three Stooges catchphrase(s) is still in play!
BTW, Perry Mason is my G.O.A.T. IMO, that is.
Perry Mason is a good show i love the theme is the goated theme and matlock has a good theme too i love Perry Mason and matlock
I thought the line from Star Trek most likely to be famous was (from Dr. Leonard McCoy): "He's dead, Jim."
I think the classic catchphrase from Dragnet is: "Just the facts ma'am." — not the opening line about the story being true.
Also, from Batman, when Robin says: "Holy cowel k-nowel, Batman, what now!" That is more noteworthy than "Same Bat-time, same Bat-channel."

Jack Webb's Joe Friday never used that phrase verbatim. "All we want are the facts, ma'am" was used in one episode. In another episode Friday states "All we have are the facts ma'am" The misquote was used by Dan Ackroyd in the parody movie.
"This is the city" is used in every episode, even going back to the black & white 1950s episodes.
That and "The story you are about to see is true. Only the names have been changed to protect the innocent" are the real deal.

I was going to say the same thing. It's not exactly an urban legend thing, but it is a fallacy. Also, in the 67 re-debut the "ladies and gentlemen" was dropped from the opening line.
Yep. Lots of misquotes out there. Just the facts has been tossed around forever but it's still wrong.
i love the dragnet lines
Burt Ward said once that the one phrase the writers absolutely would NOT let him use was "Holy strawberries, Batman, we're in a jam!"
Not even in the series finale.

Good. That's as corny as a cornfield.🌽
This contest is great fun, as there have been a lot of catch phrases over the years of great shows. However, I really feel like a lot of them (and the voting choices) is a “generation” thing. Some of the sayings maybe mean nothing to those young enough to not really have watched the show (or heard of it?) and thus they won’t be voting for it. I know I voted for many favorites of yesteryear, and found the percentages way off. My different generations likes I guess. (BTW, 72 yrs old)
i voted for MASH because is the GOAT
