The episode of Angel when Doyle dies always gets to me, especially as the actor playing him, Glenn Quinn died of drug overdose a couple of years later.

Also I find myself depressed after the X files episode when Mulder finally found out what happened to his sister Samantha.

 

[alex_is_on_fire]

I thought that episode was seen has a complete abomination by most people.

Yeah, maybe but we're talking about sad episodes. And that episode IMO was really emotional - sad, scary and created fear. Well for me anyone. I really enjoyed that episode.

Spoiler for people still watching the show 'Greek' on Fox 8.

I loved this show started watching it when first aired in the States. The ending of this show got to me quite a bit though even though I'm only just finishing High School its sort of got to do with a moving forward thing.

i thought they went to perth to help jo loveday look for her parents but were killed by mr bad?

now that would almost be as sad as 6ft unders last episode or nates death.

So, that Jurassic Bark episode of Futurama was on last night. I watched it with my dog laying across me and it was pretty sad. He was bad overnight but I couldn't bring myself to be angry at him

Cant remember if this one has been mentioned- was watching an old ep of ER the other day on Foxtel.

Dr Green's death on the show was very, very sad.

Edit: oh ffs, someones already mentioned it on this page!!!!! face/palm

Really? She was a horrible character. Almost wrecked the show.

 

[Kong]

How do you wreck that which is already rubbish?

Yep, mega sad. Speaking of hospitals, errr Molly's death in A Country Practice though I found it sadder when Vicky accidentally found out Molly had cancer.

Bobby Simone (Jimmy Smits) death in NYPD Blue. Actually a few sad moments in that show, the effect of the deaths of Anyd Jr and his wife Sylvia upon Andiy Sipowicz was quite heart breaking to watch. I know he was only a character but one of my all time favourites.

The end of the episode in Sex In The City where the producers pay homage to Sept 11 where Mr Big is going away and leaves his copy of Henry Mancini's
vinyl for Carrie and as she walks off into the night with it tucked under her arm the music of Moon River comes across even when the credits roll. Oi I was a blubbering mess as it is one of my favourite pieces of music.

That was touching as well.

And they had some words come up on the screen- something like "Dedicated to the people of NYC... yesterday, today and forever". Or something simliar..

Found this on IMD tho:

The episode "I Heart NY", which is a "love letter" to New York according to Darren Star, was assumed by many to be a reaction to the terrorist attacks on the USA of 11 September 2001. The episode however, was actually written, filmed and titled before September 11, and shown soon afterward. The timing was a coincidence

Freaky that.

Just remembered the last scene Jerry Orbach played as Lennie Briscoe on Law & Order. Just watched last night's SVU episode (oi what and ending) Anyway, Jerry had already passed away before it was aired here but we knew he had gone and you could tell he was sick long before he died.

Devastating!

 

[lionel_luthor]

John Winchester sacrificing himself to save his boys on Supernatural is also pretty moving.

Also on Buffy when Angelus kills Jenny Calendar and Giles goes out to kill him out of revenge and Buffy stops him and slugs him one for being stupid and then they collapse in each others arms sobbing is very powerful.

Lost: The final episode... has some other sad eps but that one is the most obvious...

Dexter: Final ep of season one where Dexter kills his brother gets me...

Scrubs: The one where Brendan Fraser's been dead the whole time and only Cox can see him...

Season 6 ep 2 of the sopranos: the last scene with Tony alone in the hotel room is brilliant...

The simpsons: When Homer's mother comes back and leaves again... The credits roll over an image of him sitting his car in the desert watching shooting stars going past, beautiful...

I see some have mentioned the episode from 'Love my Way'. That was one of the saddest things and biggest shocks i have ever seen in any television show, plus it ruined my home life. The missus was a mess for like 2 bloody weeks after it. Couldnt mention anything to do with the show otherwise it would set her off.

I watched the show till it finished after 2 seasons, and after every episode i felt shithouse. So depressing. Brilliant acting.

Agreed. I stumbled across this series by accident a few years back, and pretty much watched every episode back-to-back-to-back. The scene that you speak of is easily the most moving thing I've seen on TV, my missus was bawling like she'd just lost a loved one.

The Shield - Season 5 finale

+1 for this, but also the ending to the entire show, the season 7 finale. Maybe not so much sad, but just crazy powerful. Surprised there is not more love for the Shield on this forum- it is by a country mile the greatest show ever to air on TV IMO. Starts off awesome in season 1, and is one of the very select few shows which seems to just get better and better with every ep. I have all 7 seasons, have about a 1-year rotation where I work through the whole lot again and never even remotely get sick of it. Get amongst it if you haven't given it a crack.

The ending of Quantum Leap

 

[LadyPants]

HIMYM: Bad News, not the saddest tv episode ever that award goes to this of course.

 

[Asgardian]

In May 1971 an episode of the channel 9 police show, Division 4, aired to mass acclaim, it was titled 'The Return Of John Kelso' starring old Homicide stalwart, John Fegan.

Fegan played an old con who had been in prison for the last 25 years.

Prior to his imprisonment he was a neighbourhood thug, con man, stand over merchant, strong arm man who terrorized all around him.

Upon his release he was an old brokendown ex-crim well past his prime and in his 60's.

The local neighbourhood took their long awaited revenge on an old man who could not fight back, much like his victims prior to his imprisonment, plus he was no longer the full bottle.

One of his old victims, now an elderly lady, was forced in her younger days to make him lamingtons, upon his return she again made him lamingtons, but now using salt instead of sugar and forced him to eat them.

Everywhere was the same, everyone to a man was hostile, how was an old brokendown crim supposed to survive when everyone he turned to, including the police, wanted to heap more misery on him.

I'm writing this summary from memory, having seen the episode only once and about 40 years ago. This episode was so powerful it has lived with me all that time.

If you can find it, please watch it

Is this it?

 

[Dan Moody]

Just watched the Return of John Kelso episode on YouTube (in 5 parts).
Fairly powerful even for tv 40 years ago, I was only 1 year old at the time so obviously don't remember but distinctly remember the Division 4 and Homicide theme music as my parents had it playing on the old black and white tv.
