What fictional shows and episodes made you cry?

The Doctor Who episode Doomsday when

Spoiler

Rose is stuck in the alternate dimension. She tells him she loves him, and you know, just know, he is going to say it back, but then the dimensional breach seals up before he can say it.

I cried like a little kid who's had his bike stolen, then had to explain what was wrong to my wife when she got home half an hour later (which was bad because I am always ragging on her about watching those "silly" Lifetime Movies that she knows are going to make her cry.)

Well for me i'd say the final episode of black adder goes fourth

Very true, I thought it was quite a moving ending to a great series. There was a documentary on not long ago, probably still available on the iPlayer, when they showed you how they came to the decision of how to shoot the final scene.

Other than that, I can't think of anything else.

It takes ALOT to make me cry with a show. The only thing that did was because it hit extremely close to home for me. During the series Fullmetal Alchemist, Maes Hughes dies and it shows the funeral. During this, his young daughter of about 6 looks at her mom and goes "why is daddy sleeping mommy? Why won't he open his eyes? Why won't daddy wake up and play with me?" and after losing the only father figure I ever had in my life, I bawled.

Two tv shows have brought me to tears, or as near to tears as I can get.

One was called Sunshine, a 3 part ITV drama/comedy a couple of years ago with Steve Coogan as a gambling addict.

Spoiler: The plot/ending

Steve plays a guy who has done nothing with his life and after being kicked out by his wife has moved back in to live with his father. His addiction to gambling means he generally lets down those around him, including his son. With his fathers support he manages to stop the gambling, hold down a job and generally sort his life out, unaware that his father has a brain tumour which has been kept secret from everyone. Just as his life is sorting itself out his father is rushed to hospital. The scenes by his bedside as his father lays dieing are incredibly emotional, particularly the one between Steves character and his father. I remember hearing on the radio the day after, alot of men were brought to tears by that scene, not so much women. Perhaps it stems from all of us inwardly wishing for our fathers love and for them to be proud of us, or even remembering fathers who passed away.

The other was a recent show called Married, Single, Other. I can't really explain what it was that made me well up, one minute you felt really light hearted and smiling, the next things would hit you like a punch to the stomach.

When Ash got rid of his BUTTERFREE made me feel a bit sad but not cry, but god damn when he tried to get rid of PIKACHU it just broke my heart, although I was small at the time it still counts.

FMA was one of few animes I could tolerate. I loved that show, when hughes is killed off... It was a real tearjerkker. Especially, I can't remember which series it was, Brotherhood or the origanal, when his little daughter lost it and started yelling at the troops with the shovels to stop the buriel. Seriously, who can do that when a four year old is yelling at you to stop when she doesn't understand and not shed a tear?

That was during the original. Like, yeah it's sad but once Elysia starts crying it really makes you go "awww oh my god, the poor thing." I had lost my own father-figure a few years (like, 3 or 4) before that episode aired so it was painfully personal to me :/. Definitely one of the greatest tearjerker moments in an anime yet.

I cried during Criminal Minds when

Spoiler

Gideon leaves Reid the note.

 

[hamsterkilla]

kinda pathetic to admit it but that show criminal minds. very good writing and characters that you can actually feel for, yea ive had to fight back tears every now and then.

 

[neoontime]

I cried at the ending of lost, especially when the dog goes to lie next to Jack.
A real tear-jerker.

 

[Kryzantine]

Season 4 of House, the 2-part finale. It was an excellent ending to an otherwise mediocre season too.

 

[googleit6]

There was a CSI episode from 2001 I think. A four month old baby was suffocated accidentally by his brother, and I was bawling. Anything with babies getting hurt makes me sick.
Another CSI episode, a woman and husband planned to kill their baby by leaving him in a boiling car. They thought he had a disease that a previous child of theirs had had, as he was starting to exhibit the same symptoms. They didn't wait for the test results, and just went ahead and suffocated him. Turns out, the baby wasn't sick at all. They killed their own kid for no reason.
An episode of House where an outbreak of an unknown infection is spreading through the babies of the hospital, and House and his team make a really controversial decision which is really a tearjerker. Killing one to save many is a message in that episode, if you get what I'm saying.
And, one more episode of House, a woman almost suffocated her baby in the bathtub. Eventually, once she is in the hospital, and supposedly okay, her husband brings her her baby to hold. The woman and baby are alone inthe room, and the woman starts to develop psychosis or something, and rolls over on her child. As soon as House sees from the outside of the room, he sprints in, trying to save the baby, but to no avail. That whole scene was so sad and intense, it was ridiculous- I skip watching this episode (And the other baby one) sometimes when I am re-watching House, as I feel that I can't always deal with the emotion the episodes evoke in me.

south park episode #78 "Kenny dies" Makes me a sad panda.

 

[Revolutionary]

To be honest the only thing thats ever made me cry is "captain corelli's mandolin" when the zazis open up onn them (however I was 12 yrs old at the time.)

 

[Shaun Hastings]

Call me weak, but the finale of House Season 4.

I just about burst out crying because of Wilson.

I am so glad I found these posts... I was starting to get worried that I was the only person that actually shed tears I'm Futurama... Luck o the fryish, Jurassic bark, and sting. Also there movie the beast of a billion backs, and the end of wild green yonder because we didnt know if Futurama was ever coming back... Thank God for comedy central righting one of fox's biggest mistakes. Cancelling one of the wittiest, funniest, most heart warming series that I loved since the very first episode.

 

[Baron von Blitztank]

"Code of Hero" from Beast Wars. I just can't watch that episode without tearing up.
Another close contender goes to "Endgame, Part II" from Transformers: Animated and not just because it marks the ending of THE BEST Transformers cartoon ever (leaving many questions unanswered just to aid in the release of Revenge of The Fallen)

P.S- FUCK YOU MICHAEL BAY!

 

[Berithil]

I would have to say the series 4 finale of doctor who (the special). That's the closest I've gotten to being emotional over a show.


Hold on a minute...... The post dates...
