    When they tell Big Bird on Sesame Street that Mr. Hooper died (the actual actor died). Everyone was crying real tears. I was an adult when I saw that clip and I still bawled.

    The episode of M*A*S*H where Radar has to read out Henry’s death while they are all in the operating room. They all have to react and then put it behind them and get back to work.

    Posted by u/piratebluebear:

    When Radar goes into the OR to announce the news, and the way he chokes out "There were no survivors." Heartbreaking.

    When Fry found out that it was his nephew and not his brother got me more. I was holding back the tears.

    Futurama had so many touching moments.

    I have to say one of the saddest moments will always be the death of Marshall's dad in How I Met Your Mother. The countdown in the episode never made sense until you have seen it completly and as it turns to 0, Lily tells Marshall his dad died. Such an overall emotional episode. Never can make it through it without crying.

    The end of the Tenth Doctor.

    "I don't wanna go" just about broke me, especially knowing it was written in by David Tennant and Russel T. Davies and was really how they felt. It took me a long while to get into Matt Smith after that, which was a shame as he was very good.
