If you're among the first people reading this post, and don't know how to play, hang on and I'm sure someone will explain it in the comments soon enough.
Go for it!

from Psych 3.5:
Chief: It goes without saying, Mr. Spencer, that your father is in no way to participate in this investigation. He’s no longer on the force, and his meddling could compromise the case in court. Do I make myself clear?
Shawn: Yes you do, Chief. What isn’t clear is why people always say “goes without saying,” yet still feel compelled to say the thing that was supposed to go without saying. Doesn’t that bother you?
Chief: No! And frankly, I could care less.
Gus: Now that’s the one that bothers me. Why do people say “I could care less” when they really mean “I couldn’t care less”?
Chief: Well, why don’t you tell me how to properly say this? If you share any official information about this case with your father, or let him anywhere near any new evidence, then the two of you will have to find another police department to work for, and I will personally see to it that each of you is charged with obstruction of justice.
Gus: You split an infinitive.
Shawn: Good catch, Gus!
Chief: You two realize I carry a gun, right?
Gus: That was perfectly elocuted.
Ricky’s NBC vote was wrong (he did -1 twice), so I took another point from The Office since that was the second -1 he did when it probably should have been -2. My new vote:

Still out of Fox quotes, although last night’s RH should have provided some – it was very good. So here’s one from Parks on NBC [2.14]:
Leslie: Nobody’s more upset about this than me. I’ve been taking these rec center classes since I was in high school. It’s where I learned hair braiding and how to make biscuits and French kissing. The French kissing was just from a boy in my biscuits class, but either way: lesson learned.

from SPN 5.16:

Pamela: [Hits Dean on the head] That’s for getting me killed.
Dean: Yeah, well that’s probably less than I deserve. If it makes you feel better, we got Ash killed too.
Ash: I’m cool with it!
Dean: He’s cool with it.

Out of ABC quotes, and running out of Parks quotes but here’s one anyway, [2.2]:
Leslie: I would like to be President some day, so, no, I have not smoked marijuana. I ate a brownie once at a party in college. It was intense. It’s kind of indescribable, actually. I felt like I was floating. Turns out there wasn’t any pot in the brownie. It was just an insanely good brownie.
@couchpotato, Rebecca: Whoops, my mistake. Yes, I did mean to take -2 off The Office. Trying to do this in the early morning while watching Cult might have been a mistake…

from Cheers [7.18]:
Sam: What kind of problem should I make up?
Carla: Well how about this, I once took one of my kids to the school psychiatrist and he said the kid had kleptomania.
Norm: Anything come of it?
Carla: Got a couple of pens and a leather appointment book.
Norm: Or you could try using my problem. I’ve always had this terrible fear of being a failure.
Carla: You are a failure.
Norm: Then I’ve licked it.

from Psych 3.13:
Gus: You know what they do on those massage tables? They massage men. Big, hairy, men. Let me be very clear: these hands are not touching anybody. I only use these hands to touch myself…Let me rephrase that.
Shawn: Please stop speaking. And no more fist bumps for the rest of the day.
