Whether you intend to or not, as you watch TV shows you get emotionally attached to the characters, their lives, and the messages they portray. Sometimes you need reminders from your favorite on-screen confidants.

1. Grey’s Anatomy

“It’s one of those things people say. You can’t move on until you let go of the past. Letting go is the easy part, it’s the moving on that’s painful. So sometimes we fight it, trying to keep things the same. Things can’t stay the same though. At some point you just have to let it go. Move on. Because no matter how painful it is, it’s the only way we grow.” –Meredith Grey, Grey’s Anatomy

2. NCIS

“Family’s more than just DNA. It’s about people who care and take care of each other.” –Leroy Jethro Gibbs

3. Parenthood

4. Once Upon a Time

“People are gonna tell you who you are your whole life. You just gotta punch back and say ‘No, this is who I am.” You want people to look at you differently? Make them. You wanna change things? Your gonna have to go out there and change them yourself because there are no fairy god mothers in this world.” –Emma Swan, Once Upon a Time

5. One Tree Hill

“So don’t be afraid to make mistakes. Stumble and fall because most of the time, the greatest rewards come from doing the things that scare you the most. Maybe you’ll get everything you wish for. Maybe you’ll get more than you could have ever imagines. Who knows where life will take you. The road is long and in the end, the journey is the destination.” -One Tree Hill

6. Gilmore Girls

“People can live a hundred years without really living for a minute.” –Logan Huntzbreger

7. Friday Night Lights

“Every man at some point in his life is going to lose a battle. He’s going to fight, and he’s going to lose. But what makes him a man is, at the midst of that battle, he does not lose himself.” -Coach Eric Taylor, Friday Night Lights
