If the passage in quotations is your own writing, then it does not need to be put in quotation marks. Just because one is referring to somebody else's work does not necessitate that, unless of course one is directly quoting.
Now, because you are referring to the TV show and not directly quoting or paraphrasing, you do not have to put an inline citation at the end of the paragraph. But if you have a "References" page at the end of your paper, then I'd list it there, because it shows that you incorporated the show into your paper.
The MLA format for citing a TV show is:
Broadcast Television or Radio Program
Put the name of the episode in quotation marks, and the name of the series or single program underlined or in italics. Include the network, follwed by the station, city, and date of broadcast.
"The Blessing Way." The X-Files. Fox. WXIA, Atlanta. 19 Jul. 1998.
Recorded Television Shows
Include information about original broadcast, plus medium of recording. When the title of the collection of recordings is different than the original series (e.g., the show Friends is in DVD release under the title Friends: The Complete Sixth Season), list the title that would be help researchers located the recording.
"The One Where Chandler Can't Cry." Friends: The Complete Sixth Season. Writ. Andrew Reich and Ted Cohen. Dir. Kevin Bright. NBC. 10 Feb. 2000. DVD. Warner Brothers, 2004.
