Also Luck of the Fryish, The Sting, and Idle hands are devils play things
ER–where Carter and Kem’s baby dies and Carter throws himself into his father’s arms weeping.
I’ll second the one where Carol goes out to reunite with Doug–Don Henley’s vocals at the end added a great deal to the emotion of that episode.
Add me to the list of those who bawled over the ending of Six Feet Under. The last montage gets me every single time… I’m a blubbering mess by the time they get to the end of Claire’s story.
I also sobbed a bit over the final episode of Sex and the City, but mostly because it was the last one, and not over anything specific at all.
A made-for-TV movie or miniseries called The Day After; I think it aired in 1983. I didn’t actually watch it (I’d had no intention of watching it). But my TV was still on the channel that aired it when I turned the set on for some other show. I chanced onto the scene when the nukes were going off. I practically collapsed; I was essentially incoherent for something like thirty minutes. I don’t remember turning the TV set off, but I remember I sat there just staring numbly at the wall for hours. Then the sun set, the light faded away and I just sat there in the dark, staring into the blackness. Honestly, I was shocked by my reaction; I’ve never had anything affect me like that.
Would you believe an episode of Absolutely Fabulous? :o I don’t recall which one, or what happened to make the point to, but the end of this one ep made something clear to me that I hadn’t realized before: namely that even though Patsy and Edina were two of the most venal, worthless, appalling bitches in the world, they loved each other dearly – despite everything, they were best buddies until the end, and in their own fucked up way they took care of each other. And I just choked up like a big ol’ sap.
I think that was on the History Channel. Riveting.
Many, many episodes of Little House on the Prairie. When I’m flipping through the listings and see it on I decide if it’s worth watching based on the tear factor.
“Mary goes blind” or “Mary’s school burns down taking her baby with it” – I’m always there.
My boyfriend and I cried our hearts out at the ending of Six Feet Under. I skip past that song every time on my iPod because I just can’t deal with it.
In Scrubs, when Jordan’s brother dies, that got us too.
Definitely. That episode’s even worse the second time around.
