What is the saddest episode on a TV show that you've seen?

[PaDisney02]

Wow! I'm getting choked up just reading these posts
I have to agree on 90210 when toni died. When Dylan opens the car door and she falls out he just sits there with her in the rain, so sad.
I'm a big gh fan, I cry all the time on that show. Especially when stone died and now everything with michael is really sad too. TV shows r crazy, its amazing how we get so attached to the characters.

Holy Cow!!! I didnt know Warrick died!
I did just read he had left the show. I used to watch it all the time but we watch Supernatural now at the same time and would just catch CSI on reruns, hmmmm how about that!

Sorry to go off topic!

90210 where Dylan's wife got killed was sad.

As was ER's episode when Lucy and John Carter got stabbed.

But the saddest episode where I bawled uncontrollably afterwards: Grey's Anatomy when Denny died. My husband kept asking me if I was ok because I was I was sobbing...

I remember that ER episode. Lucy was laying on the floor and I will never forget her eyes. It was so, so sad. I cried forever on that one.

This episode of Touched By An Angel:

Fortunately I found this description. I started to type out what happened and I lost it!!! I start crying if I even mention the episode to anyone.

The song she "writes" in the episode is actually Testify to Love by Avalon; I actually like Wy's version better.

EDIT: one of the best (Best? well, it kills me!!!) parts of the show is not in the description. Near the end, when they are on the porch for the song, they raise a flag that little Celine made. it sasys "Petey Lives Here" so God/the angels would know where to find him. At the very end, when the dove always flies off, it flies by the flag, and it changes to "Petey Lived Here". OK, I gotta stop, all my eye makeup is gone!

OK, I know it's a soap opera, but when BJ died on General Hospital and then they transplanted her heart in her cousin Maxie and BJ's dad Tony listened to Maxie's chest to "hear BJ's heart" I just cried and cried.

That episode will always be the saddest "death" for me. Even when I try to tell my grown daughters about it, I bawl.

ER when Dr. Greene died. I still can't hear that version of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" without thinking of that episode.

.

me too. I no longer watch ER after that. It just wasn't the same.

I cried and cried when Charlie died on Lost. I am not sure if it is the saddest I have ever seen, but it is up there.

And the final episode of Six Feet Under. My husband thought there was something really wrong with me. I was crying so hard.

 

[MosMom]

For me, the final episode of Six Feet Under. I was still freaking crying the next day. I downloaded the final song and everytime I listened to it, it would choke me up. The saddest episode but the best at the same time.

That episode does me in every time I see it.

when Flower is killed. DH was napping in the recliner next to me and I woke him up sobbing. He is freaking and asking what's wrong, and I start blubbering that Flower is dead. I was heaving and couldn't stop crying. My girls came out into the living room asking what was wrong. They all started laughing at me, lol. I feel silly now, but it just broke my heart.

The very last episode of Little House on the Prairie, when they are blowing everything up got to me. I cried and cried. I LOVED that show as a child.

The very last Fresh Prince of Bel Air episode when they are all moving the house and Uncle Phil tells Will that he expects to hear from him as well on the family phone call night.

I can’t remember the season of 24 but it is the last episode of the season and everything has been wrapped up. Jack is in a car and he just loses it. He just looks like a completely defeated and wasted man. It is so sad. For a brief moment, I honestly expected him to but a bullet in his own head, and I wouldn’t have blamed him if he did.

I can’t watch America’s Most Wanted without crying, but of course that is because the stories are real.

More recently, the episode of Criminal Minds (Revelations) where Dr. Reid is kidnapped. His back-story is pretty heartbreaking (I still can NOT understand how a Father could walk out and leave his son with a Mother who was so sick) and he did such a great job expressing the character’s guilt over having locked his mother up in an institution.

Ohh! There is an episode of Homicide: Life on the Streets where a guy kidnaps his own son. I haven’t actually seen many episodes of that show, but I LOVE Law and Order and I knew they did a few cross over shows so I thought that I’d give it a shot. Anyway, the Father was threatening to kill himself and the boy and they were in a standoff trying to talk him out of it. I don’t remember everything, but they thought that they had, and then they heard two shots and found them both dead. It had something to do with a candy bar. I was crying so hard that my husband thought that something REAL had happened. It didn’t help that I was pregnant at the time. I haven’t watched many episodes of Homicide since then. It was WAY too traumatic. I am teary just THINKING about it.

Speaking of Law and Order, the episodes after Jerry Orbach died. They didn’t really get too detailed about it, but just KNOWING that he was dead was enough to make me bawl. I LOVED him so much.

I could go on and on. I think that just about every show I watch has made me cry at some point. Especially lately since I am once again hormonal and pregnant. I got teary when the plus size model girl won on the last season of America’s Next Top Model. I am serious. I am THAT hormonal. Hehehehe.

for all of us who miss Dr Mark Greene...... somewhere over the rainbow.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OMLoAtC9RY&feature=related

Another vote for Dr. Greene!

 

[Ride Junkie]

I'm remembering a sad episode of "Life Goes On". Becca was dating a guy who was HIV positive (Jesse), and there was an episode where he got really sick, and Becca was there caring for him, stroking his hair as he was getting violently ill. The compassion she showed him in his condition was heartbreaking. Luckily he didn't die, or I really would have lost it.

There was also an episode of "Little House on the Prairie" where a lady's daughter named Ellen drowned. She sort of lost it, kidnapped Laura, dressed her in Ellen's clothes, and pretended she was her daughter. That one made me cry.

 

[huey duey & luey]

I agree with so many on here

when Lujack died, I wore black


When Stone died on GH. I was sobbing

 

[WDWBarb]

I cried and cried when Charlie died on Lost. I am not sure if it is the saddest I have ever seen, but it is up there.

Oh my gosh!! I can't believe I forgot this one! I bawled like a baby, trying to hide my tears from DH the entire time. Guess I did a good job because I just mentioned this one to him and he said, "You didn't cry when Charlie died!!!"

LOL - I most certainly did. My eyes were even still swollen at work the next day!

 

[Handbag Lady]

Okay, most of the ones I thought of right away were posted.

In addition, the last episode of Frasier killed me. I had pretty much grown up with Frasier and here I was a grown-up watching the last one with my husband and I just lost it. It was like I was losing my friend. I so wanted Frasier happy and I still think that he's in SF now living out his third life!



But, the one that had me crying violently in a state of messiness was the last episode of Will and Grace. I was so mad. I had spent every year watching that show and knew the characters and was just dying to see how they'd end it...and we get a stinking pile of poo. To this day, I don't know what the writers and producers were thinking...laziness? Now, when I do catch a re-run, I don't care about the characters because I see again how awfully bad their end stories turned out and I get all mad all over again. I mean, one of them blows off a balconey. Really?

I LOVED the last episode of Will and Grace. I loved how they took a look into the future. I loved how Jack and Karen were still together. In fact, I cried when they sang "Unforgettable" together. That is one of my all time favorite series finales. Much better than Seinfeld's. I was thoroughly disappointed in that one.

I haven't read through all the posts so not sure if this was mentioned but I am a big General Hospital fan and I absolutely bawled my eyes out over the death of "BJ". She was injured in a bus accident on the way to school. It was determind that she was brain dead and her heart was donated to her cousin who needed a transplant due to some type of heart infection. The mother of the cousin was all excited that her daughter was getting a heart until she found out that BJ had been in an accident and it was her heart that the daughter was getting. "Not Barbara Jean! Not Barbara Jean!" It makes me tear up just thinking about it. All the actors did an excellent job with that one!

Oh, that one was such a heartbreaker. I adore that song!!!

The 'Petey Lived Here' part totally sent me over the edge!!
