In thinking back, I realized that of all the shows I've watched, "Three's Company" is the one that brought me to tears several times. The final episode did it but also the episode where Jack accidentally serenades the wrong women but in the end tells off/dumps the woman he was supposed to serenade for being a "mean girl." Then there was the episode where Janet was taking dancing lessons and dating her creepy instructor who was stringing her along. At the end, Janet thinks Jack is going to say "I told you so" but instead he just says, "May I have this dance." I always wanted those two to end up together so hat episode was a major tearjerker.

Greg House was vile. Still, I confess that I cried while watching the scene in the episode "Help Me," when he has to tell the woman trapped under the rubble that her leg must be cut off. Despite initially resisting because she doesn't want to and he obviously identifies with her, (which is just about the only time House has ever allowed personal feelings to get in the way of objectivity) in a rare show of emotion, he eventually sucks it up and decides to do his job.
House: Hanna...we have to amputate your leg.
Hanna: No. You said that there was time.
House: There was. And it's run out.
Hanna: No.
House: You asked me how I hurt my leg. I had a blood clot, and the muscle was dying. I had all these doctors telling me I should amputate, and I said no, and they did this very risky operation, and I almost died.
Hanna: But you saved your leg.
House: I wish I hadn't. They cut out a chunk of muscle about the size of my fist, and left me with this mutilated, useless thing. I'm in pain. Every day. And it changed me. Made me a harder person. A worse person. And now...now I'm alone. You don't want to be like me. You've got a husband who loves you. You've got friends, you'll start a family. You have a life. And this...this is just a leg.
(long pause)
Hanna: Okay.

House occasionally had good moments like that. The one that got to me though was in an episode where Wilson decides to donate a kidney or something to someone, and House kept trying to convince him not to and was (as usual) being a dick about it. Then it gets to this scene-
Wilson: The operation is in 2 hours. I'd like you to be there.
House: [Long pause] No.
Wilson: What? Why?
House: Because if you die, I'm alone.
Any moments like that with Wilson always got to me.

House had some extremely moving episodes despite the writers' apparently unshakeable belief that House being a dick ALWAYS equaled great drama no matter what. The one where Wilson donated a kidney was excellent.
Before the House Jr. thing got out of control with him, Omar Epps' character was my favorite because of the episode in the first season when he sat with the homeless woman while she was dying. I was a total mess.

Did any other Greecies catch Dallas this week for JR's funeral? When Patrick Duffy cried at the end of the episode, you knew those tears were real. I didn't expect to cry watching Dallas. I was wrong.

I saw it. Yeah, Patrick's reaction throughout the show got to me. You could tell he was reacting to the loss of his best friend.

Definitely not a lot of actual acting going on in that episode--it must have been so sad on set.

Larry had that effect on people--we lived in Dallas during the last years of the first series (actually, we lived less than five miles from Southfork!) and Larry was treated more like a hometown boy made good than a big Hollywood star. He was absolutely beloved... |

Can I revive this thread? Binge watching shows while sick brings on the weepies.
Friends; the Ross and Rachel break up still makes me misty. So realistic and the other friends going through it too while locked up in the room just added to the sadness. Amazing acting by Jennifer and David. His desperation and realisation at what was happening...man right in the gut.
Friday Night Lights. Gah practically every episode in the first season was an emotional punch. Definitely up there was Matt dealing with his father's death.
The Wire. So many too. The emotions were just always based in the grimness of their reality and that's probably what made it so impactful.
Greys Anatomy; Denny dying and Katherine Heigl bringing the gut wrenching cry as she's lying there next to him in that pink ballgown. Still gets me and I hated Denny!
Sons of Anarchy; there's a scene in the first season I think where Jax is yelling at Tara in the hospital about how he's always loved her and how she just left him... and wow it was amazing. You could really believe this rough guy doing nefarious things for a living had really fallen for her and she had always been the love of his life.
Lost: two scenes kill me still. Jack and Vincent at the end with Jack closing his eyes as we fade out. And Jack and Kate in the car as she's prompting him t come inside the church when he's ready. And then he does and it's that moment you know...
