The final episodes of How I Met Your Mother had me in tears last night: especially when you find out exactly why The Mother (Tracy) is always spoken of in the past tense :bluesad: and the final scene in the series.
Years ago, there was an episode of TOUCHED BY AN ANGEL that featured Gerald McRainey as a heart surgeon who had lost his four children in a tragic accident - and then was asked to perform life-saving heart surgery on the man who killed them while driving drunk. The end of that one had me bawling like a baby!
The third season episode of the Hawaii Five O reboot called "In A Time Past" where Danny Williams tells his partner of a day in his life as a New York cop which was both the best and the worst day: best because he found out that his wife was pregnant with their daughter and the worst because his partner Grace* was killed in front of him: on 9/11 2001. :bluesad:
* You also find out why his daughter is named Grace.
The final episode of Boy Meets World. But especially the closing minutes when it's the 4 main students and Mr. Feeny and they all say their farewells and Feeny, refusing to say "I love you" to them because he's a teacher who didn't wanna cross the line, but waits for them to leave the classroom and he says to himself "I love you all. Class dismissed." And shuts off the lights.
Condensed scene but the gist is there.

Do you know that his first movie was called NIGHT OF BLOODY HORROR (1969)?

The final episode of X-Bomber, where the ape like beastie died (not seen this show again since it was first aired, and in the meantime I've forgotten its name, but if I remember correctly it got sucked out into space).

That was really, really sad: I read that the cast reactions were real, almost too real.
Final ep of Dinosaurs came damn close...
The final episode of Cheers also made me mist up: "Sorry: we're closed." :bluesad:
The episode of GOOD TIMES when Florida (Esther Rolle) gets a telegram informing her that her husband James (John Amos) was killed in a motor vehicle accident.
The episode of married with children where Marcie and Jefferson were talking about having intense sex while Al was on the couch between them. I laughed so hard I cried at the sight of Al's face as they talked more and more intensely about their imminent lovemaking.
When I was little I asked my grandpa if sad TV shows ever made him cry, and he said the only thing in his life that ever made him cry for any reason was finding out John Wayne died.
I said, "But did you hear about John Wayne on TV?"
I was serious but he laughed and laughed.
The few episodes I saw of that disgusting little brat who's Jabba the Hut looking Mama put her in Beauty Contests.
What was the name of that s**t? :question:
Christ Wept. :bluesad:
I've not seen the show itself, but could it be that Honey Booboo thing?
The wife warned me not to watch it as it would p**s me off.

YEAH! Honey Booboo!!
I didn't know if I wanted to cry for humanity or punch my f**king TV.
I refused to watch that show and I will never attack a child that age , especially one being commoditized and monitized by her parents.
The people who attack her and exploit her I have unlimited disgust for.
That show was just more proof that evolution is reversing itself.
Someday we will all be tadpoles.

If you've never read the marching morons it's available free on the net. You should.

I guess you don't wanna know abut the sequel series to "here comes honey boo boo"...
I have to throw out the episode of Fresh Prince of Bel-Air where Will's dad comes back into his life and promptly walks right back out. It's tragic and heartbreaking, and more importantly, it flies in the face of the popular message about "the power of family" winning out over all. Sometime people are just s****y parents.
from the show supernatural, it's a 2 and 2 . the episodes when bobby and charlie died, and then their returns alive in the alternate universe. first 2, immensely sad, second 2, immensely happy.
The NYPD Blue episode The Vision Thing from the final season: quite emotional and yes, I did tear up.
No spoilers but a great line in this episode is "God bless, Andy." :smile:
Forget which season, but it was Law and Order, right after Jerry Orbach passed. He'd left a year or so prior, but made sporadic appearances after due to his cancer. He appeared in the spinoff "Trial by Jury" (or whatever it was called) weeks before his death and was visibly sick. Died days later.
On the main show his partner and lieutenant were talking and they mentioned his funeral, and it got me like...😣
When Data has to shut down his own daughter, Lal. That was some powerful storytelling right there.
I don't remember if I cried, but I probably teared up:

...You had to be there. :bluesad:
the season 14 finale of supernatural... i cried like a baby.. all 3 times i've watched so far.
The episode Bang Bang Your Debt from CSI Miami has the character Eric Delko - still recovering from a serious head injury - thinking he sees his dead friend and colleague Tim Speedle interacting with him and assisting him with the case. We see Tim as well, so we know Eric isn't going crazy.
The episode's ending has Eric and Horatio meeting up at Tim's grave - Eric still sees Tim standing a way away and Eric asks Horatio if he ever sees Tim.
Horatio's reply - with a sad smile - is "Every day. Every day." :bluesad:

In that episode, he was so sick, he could barely speak above a whisper.

They both came close...

Angel, season 1 episode 9, the death of Doyle.

Dr Who, Earthshock (1982) - companion Adric dies in the process of trying to stop a freighter hitting the Earth. Prior to meeting the Doctor, Adric won a star shaped medal for excellence in mathematics. Adric stowed away on the TARDIS and continued with the Doctor for a number of episodes. In Earthshock, the Cybermen plot to destroy the Earth. The Cybermen's weakness is the metal gold, and the Doctor kills a Cyberman by crushing Adric's gold medal into its chestplate.
At the end of this episode, the credits roll with a still image of the remains of Adric's smashed medal on the white floor of the TARDIS, and the credit reel is silent. This hit me hard as a kid.

Dead Like Me
Georgie has to take her first soul, and it's the soul of a little girl. The way they use the song Que Sera Sera and her running off into the afterlife is just heartbreaking.
The final episode of How I Met Your Mother (entitled Last Forever Part 2) had me bawling, NGL. :bluesad:

Urgh, I so hated Adric as a companion and then they gave him that stunning death.

The final episode of Hawaii Five O where Steve McGarrett says goodbye to his ohana :bluesad: :bluesad: :bluesad:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRkBJ3hbUHI (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRkBJ3hbUHI)
The tears started when he said goodbye to his doggo Eddie and they really flowed at the end.
The final episode of DOCTOR WHO series 2(2006) DOOMSDAY, where the Doctor and his companion, Rose, are stuck in two different universes. He appears through a tiny crack in reality as a hologram to say goodbye to her and she tells him that she loves him. Before he can respond, the crack closes and his reply is left unspoken, cut to the Doctor alone actually crying over losing her. The first time he ever shed tears in the show's history.
The 100th episode of ANGEL(2004), "YOU'RE WELCOME", Cordelia Chase, reviving seemingly from a months long coma, tells Angel that she's got to leave but better things are in store for him and that she was glad to get her guy back on his path in life. She starts to leave his office, but then pauses and runs back to embrace him in a very emotional farewell. It's then that his phone rings and she tells him that he needs to answer that call and leaves his office with a final "You're welcome." He talks to someone on the other end that tells him that Cordelia has just passed away moments before..hanging up, he responds with "Thank you." to his deceased lady.

When I was a kid I cried at the last ep of 'Johnny socko's flyibg robot'. (I WAS A KID!!!)
Now I just think 'Throw guillotine at the meteor and break hard right, dammit! ''
The Buffy The Vampire Slayer episode The Body, which showed Buffy and her friends dealing with her mother Joyce's sudden death.
If that episode doesn't make you tear up, you have no soul.
My wife's mother passed away not long after that episode aired; it was several years before she could even bring herself to watch it on a re-run because it hit so close.
