for me my favorite sad moments in tv are:

doctor who: When the doctor leaves Rose in the other reality


stargate altantis: The episode Sundays so sad



Dawsons creek: the death of Jen


More later.

The end of M.A.S.H. always got to me. Now that i'm more grown up, and have actually been to war, i appreciate the bitter sweetness of it even more.

The episode of Futurama that deals with Frye's dog was especially sad at the end.

M.A.S.H. when Henry Blake was killed...

^ Jurassic Bark was arguably the saddest Futurama episode. I'm not even really a dog-lover. When Seymour closes his eyes...just frickin' sad.

Found this article, thought it'd help with discussions.

I would like to get the Lost finale, specifically the last 15 mintues or so, out of the way. Talk about a sad on. Even with its uplifting factor.
Oh, and Jin and Sun. And Libby. And Charlie. And Alex. And Charlotte. ...god damn, Lost. Anyways, everyone else who bit it, didn't affect me as much.

The cancellation of Cop Rock

A father explains to his family that he's responsible for bringing about a catastrophic change to the planet that will surely kill a majority of life, including them.

I cannot watch that episode. I cry like a baby at the end.

The end of the Futurama episode 'Luck of the Fryish', the one about Fry's nephew and the seven leaf clover. I cried when I watched that.

^Yeah, that was very sad as well.

fuckin Futurama tugging at out heart strings

^Damn them for making me feel!

Doyle's death in Angel.

Tara's death in Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Jenny Calendar's death (and Giles finding her) in Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

George's death in Grey's Anatomy.

The first episode of NewsRadio after Phil Hartman's death.

Dinobot's death in Beast Wars.

I need to cheer myself up now, damn.

That got me too.

One right off the top of my head is David Tennant's final episode of Doctor Who when he regenerates.

When Buffy kills Angel
When Buffy kills herself
When Dean is killed and sent to Hell

I forgot that one. I loved how they did they only told the actor playing Radar what was going to happen to Henry so when he did the told of Henry's death it was a total suprise for the actors so they they look truly affected cause they were.




on a side note why the spoiler tag?

Yep. It still gets me whenever I see it.

When Charlie died in Lost was a killer for me.

Speaking of Lost and I don't know if it counts as sad actually but the episode "The Constant" in Lost really got me (in fact it's one of my all time favourite TV episodes). While Desmond and Penny's story in that is more happy than sad it really got me emotionally.

And this one is a very recent one but I have to admit Renee Walker's death in the last season of 24 was very sad.

Use your brain.

i did but most the sad moments aren't super recent. and no one has really said any major detail of the saddness.
