Memorable Moment: Great Line From Sitcom

In That 70's Show, the characters end up in the hospital for some reason (I saw the episode years ago). Red, played by the adorable Kurtwood Smith, grumbles:

"Why is it, everywhere we go, these kids come with us?"

It's a great line--in part, because it's true! 

As someone who lived through the 70's, I can say, yeah, it was kind of like that: everywhere you went, in a station wagon without seat belts, other people came along too. Piles of people roaming the town to attend ballgames and school activities and neighborhood activities--sometimes, just to drive around.

It's also amusing because it is great summary of odd scenes in episodes. For instance, in Criminal Minds, when the entire Scooby gang goes off to investigate a red herring, leaving Reed to defend the Hollywood actress alone, I think...

"Why is it, everywhere we go, all these other people come with us?"
