Saddest TV Moments

[slashgirl]

Which TV moments bring tears to your eyes? One of mine was when Adrianna got whacked in the Long-Term Parking episode of The Sopranos. While Ade wasn't one of my favorite characters at first, by S4, I not only felt sorry for her, seeing her die actually made me weep.

Put your favorite tear-jerking TV moments here.

Edited to change thread title.

Dog years ago, when Brooke's little girl Laura was killed by a drunk driver on AMC, I cried with big heaving sobs.

When Ross and Rachel had their break up episode in her apartment; that conversation was just so believable. And their friends were devastated as well.

Maybe more will come to me later...I weep at the drop of a hat so I'm sure I'll be posting often, heh.

Here's a t.v. tear-jerking moment I meant to mention on That Other Site before it died: For the most part, I hated Chicago Hope...with a vengeance, but that episode about the death of Aaron Shutt's father really messes me up. And I've only ever seen the end! Alam Arkin's Aaron and Mandy Patinkin's Jeffrey Geiger are standing in the cemetery where Aaron's father is buried, and Aaron telling Geiger about his memories of his dad taking care of him while his mother worked nights or something are--so sad. Particularly his reminiscences of how the two of them would "eat crappy spaghetti" and "watch crappy t.v." Then Aaron chokes out, "those are the last times I can remember when everything was...good," and totally starts crying, and Jeffrey holds him. Ack. Now I'm crying.

My most somewhat recent tv tearjerker was in Angel episode "You're Welcome". Because Cordelia was my favorite tv character , the end was just heartbreaking for me when it turns out Cordy never awoke from her coma and Angel get the call that she died. I know there was a whole lot more to the episode but I am at work and really don't want to cry again thinking too much about it.

I have seen this episode 3 times and each time I get the gut wrenching sobs. Yes I am a wuss.

Henry Blakes' death on MASH. My saddest TV moment ever. Years later on I cry whenever I see it in reruns, every single time.

Oh, megjac you just made me tear up. "...there were no survivors."

Sniffle.

The end of The West Wing's "18th and Potomac" is still a hella sad moment for me. "No, she isn't. She's dead." Ouch.

The end of ER's "NICU" episode. Just thinking about Abby bringing the dying baby to his parents makes me cry. The whole episode such a tearjerker, really, but that scene stood out.

And now you've made me tear up.

Hm. When Albert was diagnosed with a terminal illness on Little House? Wait, no that was awesome. I hated Albert.
Surely it involved Pa Ingalls crying in some way (as usual).

The MASH season finally was all sorts of sad and disturbing though.
