One of the best episodes of TV ever made (and the saddest) was Dr. Greene's C-Section gone horribly wrong on "Love's Labor Lost" from S1 of ER. To this day I cannot think about it without getting upset.

Sniffle. Even Mr. Smee, whose heart is black and wizened reached over and gave Guinness a big hug after that episode. When it shows back up on the TiVo he never wants to watch it. (He's watched that snu-snu episode like a hundred times though!) Snu-snu is a personal favorite, and I watch it everytime I catch it. Highly quotable episode.  Yep, that one is definitely another tear jerker from Futurama. The other one that gets me everytime? When Leela thinks Fry died from a bee sting, and she spends the whole episode wracked with guilt and hallucinating thinking she's seeing him. He keeps urging her to just wake up. The reveal at the end is that she was the one actually stung, and she's been in a coma the whole time, and Fry has been by her bedside the entire time she was in the coma begging her to wake up. Ack.  Damn there goes those tears again. I must be PMSing. |

Futurama! With the dog! I'm tearing up just thinking about it! You see, Fry decides not to bring his beloved dog back to life because he thinks the dog forgot about him, and went onto a happy life with a new owner. In flashback (to "I Will Wait For You" from The Umbrellas of Cherbourg), we see shots of the little dog waiting patiently, every day, outside the pizza shop where Fry worked, getting old and grey and tired, until eventually, there is no dog waiting there. AAARRRRRGGGGGHHH *tears* Let us NEVER speak of this again. [/sobbing mess] |

Damn there goes those tears again. I must be PMSing. Oh, I was gonna mention that one- I just saw it for the first time the other day. It reminded me of the one where Leela was dating that bald guy who she said was "the only man she'd ever love", who then died, and we find out it was actually Fry from another time and reality who'd waited for Leela for years and years. Sniff. Damn you Futurama! eta: I don't know if this counts as a TV moment since it was a tv movie, but Matthew Cuthbert's death in "Anne of Green Gables". Oh my goodness. I have to leave the room. "I never wanted a boy...I only wanted you from the very beginning. I love my little girl. I'm so proud of my little girl."

Soap Operas would kill me. Even when they were pretty much ridiculous, there would be one or two scenes that would just choke me up. The one I always remembers was when Maureen Bauer died on Guiding Light. It was after the funeral and everyone was in the Bauer kitchen and Ross was talking to his best friend Ed, who had just lost his wife and said "You know I love you, right?" It was just so honest and heartfelt, these two middle aged guys.
Oh, and while not sad at all (in fact it was joyous), another scene on Guiding Light that still makes me tear up is when Abby - Rick's wife who was deaf in real life - had a cochlear implant (as the actress had in real life) and they were in the doctor's office after the surgery and she heard tissues coming out of the box and the look on her face of wonderment at the sound gets me every time. A friend of mine has a daughter who just had the same surgery and he was telling me about how she heard rain falling on the roof for the very first time and how amazing it was for him to witness her experiencing that and I thought of that scene from way back.

I miss GL so much! That scene made me bawl like a baby! It was so well done and seeing the true joy on Abby's face was awesome. I also cried with no control when Jenna and Tammy died. Two of my favorite couples torn apart like that. I always ship the doomed soap couples. Leo dying on AMC and the aftermath was so awful to watch. I even bawled like a baby when JD returned to AMC for an episode before it ended and "reunited" with Greens. Another death that got me on AMC was Gillian's. And I will never, ever forgive ATWT for killing off my favorite Another World couple Jake and Vicky. There was no reason and use for that and it totally destroyed the happy ending they had gotten when the show ended. Plus they had Vicky's boys and their twin girls to raise! And non soap related, I cried so hard watching the Friday Night Lights episode The Son. Like Buffy's mom's death, watching Matty Saracen deal with his absent father's death was like someone punched me in the stomach. The fact that Zach Gilford and the show didn't get nominations or even win for that episode was ridiculous! Speaking of FNL, the abortion episode they did was brilliant. When Becky was telling Tammy she couldn't have the baby even though she wanted to, she didn't want it to in the end be her mistake like she had been her mom's... Snot crying y'all. |

I cannot believe I forgot about The Son. That was one of the most gut-wrenching hours of TV I've ever seen. I sobbed during that episode. My father, who never comments on episodes of anything, actually called me to see if I saw it. I don't think I've ever seen my father moved by anything on TV in my life and the fact that he reached out to me to talk about that episode says a lot. |

Knot's Landing. When Laura died and left that tape for all her friends. When it got to Sumner's part, and he's crying and saying, "Why did you have to leave me all alone, Red?" SOB.

My dad's goddaughter has hearing issues, which her parents did not realize until she was a couple years old. Her grandmother once told me how it really hit her after the girl got hearing aids (both ears) and one day when the window was open, started pointing frantically to it and going, "Grandma, the birdies! The birdies are singing!" She said it with such wonder that her grandmother just started sobbing, and I cried too when she told me the story. Sniff.
Guys, I never watched "Futurama," but you are killing me with your description of the dog episode!
Of course I cried when Buffy's mom died, but also during "Prophecy Girl," when she said, "I'm only 16. I don't want to die."
Ugh, I watched the ER ep "Love's Labor's Lost" when I was a teenager and it scarred me for life. So heartbreakingly sad. Another sad one: When Kellie Martin's character is stabbed, and she pretty much knows she's going to die. She is being worked on and there's a complication and she mouths it to the other doctor, clearly aware that this is it for her. *Sob*
