Saddest TV Moments

OK, keeping on the grain of melancholy

What are some of the saddest TV moments you have seen

For me, whenever they kill someone off or one of my shows goes off the air, that does it

Does _Brian's Song_ count? I think that was a TV movie...

Also: Just about any episode of _My So-Called Life_.

I agree...that version of 'somewhere over the rainbow' really did me in...I was crying Niagra Falls

When Alex broke up with his girlfriend on Family Ties

OMG Jenn - I was actually thinking THIS SAME THING... (I loved Family Ties)

And I was thinking of the 'At this Moment' song posted in the other 'sad song' thread and it triggered this show

When Alex broke up with his girlfriend on Family Ties

OMG, everytime I hear the song that goes, 'What did you think
I would at this moment?
When you're standing before me
With tears in your eyes?
Trying to tell me that you -
You found you another,
And you just don't love me no more.'

I think of poor Alex.

Re: Saddest TV Moments

* Absolutely any episode of Party of Five
* When Ellen broke up with Alex on Family Ties
* Dr. Green Dying on ER
* Secret Service Agent dying on West Wing
* Mrs. Laningham dying on West Wing (actually the following week's episode that was the Funeral - it was aired the day DH's dad died and the episode was just so moving)

I always thought that episode was so sad too. Hey, it didn't turn out too bad, Michael J. Fox ended up marrying her in real life.

Re: Saddest TV Moments

Um...how about when they blew up Wall Nut Grove on Little House!?!

Actually, there was that part when I think Mary was caught in a fire and she got out, but her baby died? Or am I making that up?

In terms of real-life TV moments, I remember being in my college apartment when it was announced that Princess Di died. I was the only one home, the rest of my roommates were on a bar tour, but I wasnt' 21 yet
