I also make an argument for Babydoll in BTAS. The ending feels just as tragic as Mr. Freeze. Also, in honor of recent passing of Tony Todd, I say The Visitor from Deep Space Nine. While things end return to the status quo, the performance from Todd as older Jake Sisko is just as sad and heartbreaking to see.
Saddest moment is Reaching Out from The Owl House, Luz's father Manny Noceda passed away, it happens her dad's death anniversary, Similar to Dana Terrace's late father Thomas Terrace, died when she was eleven
I feel so sorry for Luz's Beloved father from *The Owl House,* passed away. Luz misses her father SO much. It touched me, Right in the Feels. I also feel so sad for Chuckie Finster's Beloved Deceased Mother, from the Episode of *Rugrats: Mother's Day.* That what REALLY Broke My Heart! Chuckie telling his friends about his beloved mother. So Heartwarming and Sad 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I am 73 going on 74 in October. I’ve had an amazing life. I still play tennis and golf and I tried to live every day as best I can I mean I know that eventually I’ll be gone too, and hopefully I’ll always be remembered for good things that I’ve done in this life.
I absolutely loved the way 8 Simple Rules handled the family working through their grief over time, and not just having it being a single episode and everything is normal again...exceptional writing by the show's team
I missed out on that, but while I wasn't a huge Ritter fan (but he was brilliant in Bad Santa.) it was a real sucker punch when he passed. So unfair. I'm sure the cast didn't have to dig too deep to do those episodes. It looked like a really good show.
Yeah I agree. They did a phenomenal job with that. “Goodbye” still messes me up emotionally because about a week before John Ritter passed, my mom had passed away(and the weird thing is, he actually passed on her birthday). So my emotions were still pretty raw when those episodes aired. It’s still a little difficult for me to watch them, 21 years later.
Jurassic Bark could’ve been left alone after Fry believes Seymour lived a good life after his was frozen… But NOOOOOOOOOOO they had to be buttheads and tear our heartstrings apart with that brutally sad ending :(
Anya: But I don’t understand! I don’t understand how this all happens. How we go through this. I mean, I knew her, and then she’s, there’s just a body, and I don’t understand why she just can’t get back in it and not be dead anymore! It’s stupid! It’s mortal and stupid! And, and Xander’s crying and not talking, and, and I was having fruit punch, and I thought, well Joyce will never have any more fruit punch, ever, and she’ll never have eggs, or yawn or brush her hair, not ever, and no one will explain to me why.
Honorary episode should've been criminal minds, season 5, episode 9. Hotch's wife had her life taken away while everyone heard. Then Hotch finding her body along with his son, Jack, who hid in a chest. He then says " i solved the case, just like you wanted" to hotch
Nothing in TV/Movie history has made me cry more than "My screw up" . Ben was a fan-favorite side character but aside from that, the acting, the red herring in the beginning and the very very subtle clues that it was in fact Ben who died, to the reveal, and even the tiniest of character tweaks to really sell how tragic this was (like Cox actually allowing JD to embrace him and comfort him during the funeral, something that we would not see again until the series finale). It's just the perfect episode all around.
I'd add various parts from The Clone Wars, such as: - Death of Fives - Death of 99 - Ahsoka parting ways from Anakin - Death of Duchess Satine - Asajj suffering the extermination of the Nightsisters - Any scene that happened during Order 66 - Vader at the crash site, picking up Ahsoka's discarded lightsaber Rebels: - Ahsoka learning that Darth Vader was Anakin Skywalker - Kanan's self-sacrifice Futurama: - Yeah, definitely the Seymour episode. I'd also add the end of the Devil's Hands are Idle Playthings, with Fry playing an amateurish but sincere song on a holophoner for Leela alone. - Fry learning that his brother named his son after him - It was a comedic thing, but it was oddly sweet when Calculon made a movie about the death of Coilette (who was a sex-changed Bender), and watching TV, Bender bid him farewell with a pet name - The display of how Leela's parents had been supporting her the whole time from the shadows (and sewers) - When Fry and Leela have around 60 years together in frozen time Batman: The Animated Series: - Harvey Dent taken into police custody as Two-Face - Ra's al Ghul recovering his elderly and essentially brain dead son - Tim Drake befriends a girl called Annie, who was revealed to be a sapient spawn from Clayface, who absorbed her back into himself, killing her - Mary Dahl/Babydoll's first defeat - Revelation of the Judge Justice League: - Hawkgirl forced to euthanise Solomon Grundy (and again in Unlimited, which was even sadder since she hoped to see her friend again, but only found him a mindless husk) - A bitter sweet one. When Vandal Savage helped Superman returned to the past to prevent the apocalypse, Savage fades out of existence, content Doctor Who: - Leaving Susan behind - Death of Adric - Death of Jenny - Pete Tyler being comforted as he died by his daughter Rose, whom he would have never met otherwise - "John Smith" compelled to return to being the Doctor - First death of Harold Saxon Master - War Doctor finally feeling like he was the Doctor again - Missy's death - Deaths of Amy Pond, Rory Williams (final one), and Bill Potts (Clara Oswald to a lesser extent) - Bitter sweet, Vincent van Gogh going to the future to finally feel validation for his art and pain - Deaths of Doctors 1, 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11, 12, and War
If you want to put the time the actor died in real life ahead on list thats fine. but the death of buffy's mom has never been beat in a TV series. The audience experiences the whole process and focuses on real life processing of death from diffenrent points of view. mainly her children and the friends. It's as close to the real thing happening, only second to it actualy happening.
Glee's Quarterback got me. I cried from the start to the finish. It was devasting to hear about Cory's passing but the show is hard to watch with now 3 of the main cast members gone.
I wish Star Trek: Deep Space Nine “The Visitor” was here. Jake spent his whole life trying to get his father back only to kill himself to prevent that whole timeline from happening left me beyond tears.
Scrubs episode "My Screw-up" where Ben dies and Dr. Cox is grappling with it, hits me in the feels every time. The shock is so real. It's hard not to feel it, too.
We are never prepared for our parents death. I called my Dad's cell phone number for a long, long time. It obviously transferred to someone else. That hits hard. I miss my people. Being an only child this just sucks.
Yeah. I liked to look at my parents’ house on Google maps. They took the photo when my mom’s car was in the driveway, meaning she was home at the time. I liked to think of her at home. Sadly, Google updated the photo.
Good Times (1974-79) Season 4 episode 2, The Big Move: Part 2. Everyone's sad and emotional since James sudden death except Florida who seems emotionally unaffected. That is till the very end while cleaning up after the wake she then finally breaks down smashing a punch bowl on the ground with family immediately trying to console her . That scene always makes me cry especially since I lost my mother a year earlier
I recently rewatched Soap, and Elaine's death still hits just as hard as the first time. I can't watch "Real Life" from Star Trek Voyager. It was devastating. I was mad at B'lanna for a whole season for what she put the Doctor through: essentially murdering his daughter just to prove a point.
What about "The Last Dance" episode from Full House? The girl's great-grandfather, Papouli, comes over for a visit, but sadly passes away in his sleep. Everyone is upset, especially Michelle. Michelle was expecting Papouli to be in school with her to show her class a traditional Greek dance. She's so upset she stays home from school, but her uncle Jesse informs her that it's okay to be sad. Jesse later takes her to school and shows Michelle's class the dance.
A few episodes from tv shows that broght me to tears. Live bait. The walking dead. The governor was without a doubt, a ruthless villain, but honestly, seeing him walk around with nothing left as that song "last pale light in the west" was actually heartbreaking. It grounded this guy in reality, a person who despite just doing horrific things, reminding us that deep down inside, he was a human being, just like everyone else. The deerfox. Hilda. Utilizing a lot of visual storytelling, seeing where twig came from and him making a heartwarming choice in the end is enough to make anyone shed tears. Last of the starmakers. Courage yhe cowardly dog. The opening alone is hard to watch. And the mother squid turning into a garden in the end is beautiful, yet sad too. And tale of X9. Samurai jack. This episode was not afraid to give us a hearbreaking ending, where even Jack himself felt sorry for the enemy he slew.
I have one of the saddest but uplifting episodes of all time. The episode: Sanctuary For A Child. The series: Nightmare Café. Frank is brought to his hometown by the titular building as a kid enters the door. It's soon revealed that the boy is actually in the hospital in a coma, barely clinging to life. Worse, it's the son of his best friend from childhood. Worse than that, the accident was, in a roundabout way, his father's fault. What really has you reaching for tissue, if you haven't already, is the ending and the little bit of closure Frank receives in the final moments is both life affirming and heartwrenching, helped by an 80s radio classic.
One that got me real bad was from House M.D. Spoiler alert for anyone who started watching it recently. - - - - - The death of Dr. Amber Volakis.. Wilson's girlfriend. I actually didn't like her at first.. but was super happy for Wilson that he finally found someone that genuinely made him happy. Until.. that incident. I bawled.. so hard. The way it was done, I don't know.. it was heartbreaking. Poor poor Wilson..
The Neighborhood episode where Dave and Gemma lost their baby especially the scene when Gemma tearfully says she feels she will never be the same again.
How about the Doctor Who episode where The Doctor and Rose had to say goodbye through a hologram? "I...I love you..." "Quite right too...and I suppose...if it's my last chance to say it...Rose Tyler..." (Hologram ends) ALWAYS makes me cry rewatching that episode
I'm glad "Bad News" made it to this list. My Dad nearly died during the pandemic, and the first words I said to him when he left the hospital was "I'm not ready" specifically thinking about that episode. Even though my old man is still around, it's still a tough watch. What an emotional rollercoaster that episode was for us geriatric millennials.
Spongebob's have you seen this snail really got to me. My dog ran out of the yard because the fence was damaged. I was scared the whole time I couldn't find her. Thank God the neighbor called me and told me they had her. I got the fence fixed soon after. I know how it feels and the anxiety when you don't know where a member of your family is.
Free Churro should have gotten BoJack Horseman an Emmy. It is one of the most perfectly written, voice acted, and overwhelmingly heartbreaking episodes of television. And of course Jurassic Bark makes me cry EVERY SINGLE TIME. Futurama should also get an honorable mention for the episode where Fry finds out his brother named his son Phillip to honor his missing uncle.
How I Met Your Mother one with Marshall's dad actually did a quasi-cool thing in it, as it did a countdown from 50 and when they got to 1 (the number of the cab) is when it hit.
Of course, Jurassic Bark is the saddest episode on the list. However the episode didn't explain how Seymour ended up being flash fossilized in the first place, in a standing position. If Seymour died at the very end of the episode, how could this happen? Thankfully, Bender's Big Score revealed the truth. Seymour was still alive, and taken care of by Fry's doom clone. Bender's attempt at assassinating Fry resulted in an explosion that flash fossilized Seymour, in his standing position. Now Fry's decision to not clone Seymour makes less sense, given that he didn't forget about his master, given a duplicate of said master took care of him for him. Crazy, isn't it?
While Bad News is a really sad episode for HIMYM, i honestly think Time Travelers hits way harder. Especially when you consider the fact that Tracy is technically dead and Ted begging for 45 more days with her isn’t born out of selfishness but out of sadness.
I remember " the wonder years " always made me cry...I remember the part where Kevin's math teacher died and his father also died in the last episode. I guess nobody remembers this show.
I was never a HUGE fan of Ritter... but the fact that the cast was hit SO hard by his passing makes those two episodes amazing, but hard to watch without bawling, whether you knew him as an actor or not.
Not gonna lie every time I see that episode Jurassic Bark it always made me cry 😢 I was just crying right now from this video thinking about my Cat/Brother. God how badly I missed him.
Brian is one of my several favorite characters in Family Guy. Killing the character off was a big mistake, but Seth MacFarlane and other producers decided to bring the character back in a couple of episodes later.
This is so depressing why, in the heck, did I click on this video. The line "My mom is dead and everything is worse now" from Free Churro still hurts like a freight train collision.
The Mirlock Episode Of Power Rangers SPD (2005) The mirror guy that killed Sky's father prior to the series great 2 parter episode one of the franchises best Of all time
this needs to be a Top 50.....with streaming services at play here....i can name 5 more shows with sad episodes...for example....Teen Wolf, The Vampire Diaries, etc
You forgot the episode from season 5 of Criminal Minds where Hailey Hotchner dies and the Season 3 finale where Rip Hunter dies in DC Legends of Tomorrow
Jurassic Bark may have one of the saddest endings ever, but it does put a smile on my face because Seymour never forgot Fry and waited for him to come back like a loyal dog would.
Do you enjoy those sad episodes or do you think they should leave it to the dramas? Let us know in the comments!

You should make another list there are a lot of sad episodes throughout tv history. The last dance from full house should have been on the list
I am 73 going on 74 in October. I’ve had an amazing life. I still play tennis and golf and I tried to live every day as best I can I mean I know that eventually I’ll be gone too, and hopefully I’ll always be remembered for good things that I’ve done in this life.
Jurassic Bark is the most heartbreaking episode of any show ever. R.I.P. Seymour 😢
Luck of the Fryish and Jurassic Bark are top tier sad futurama episodes
Yeah, but Bender’s Big Score ended up retconning their emotional impacts for whatever reasons, right? 🤨
YOURE DAMN RIGHT JURASSIC BARK IS #1! IM NOT CRYING! YOU'RE CRYING!
Estelle performance in the Golden Girls was heartbreaking. I may not be a parent, but to lose a child has to be the worst feeling ever.
Golden Girls was a great, great show of even greater women❤
Saw the dog from Futurama and I will not be watching this. 😭😭😭
No for real, I've seen it SO many times and it just wrecks me every. single. time. R.I.P Seymour 😭😭😭
Smart choice! I'm sobbing into my cat right now!
Jurassic Bark rips my heart out every time. A testament to the writers of Futurama.
I absolutely loved the way 8 Simple Rules handled the family working through their grief over time, and not just having it being a single episode and everything is normal again...exceptional writing by the show's team

Jurassic Bark could’ve been left alone after Fry believes Seymour lived a good life after his was frozen…
But NOOOOOOOOOOO they had to be buttheads and tear our heartstrings apart with that brutally sad ending :(
“The Body” from Season 5 of _Buffy the Vampire Slayer_ hits hard, and I haven’t even seen a full episode of the Buffyverse.
“Heart of Ice” is definitely one of the few most tragic episodes in the ‘90s Batman animated series.
Anya: But I don’t understand! I don’t understand how this all happens. How we go through this. I mean, I knew her, and then she’s, there’s just a body, and I don’t understand why she just can’t get back in it and not be dead anymore! It’s stupid! It’s mortal and stupid! And, and Xander’s crying and not talking, and, and I was having fruit punch, and I thought, well Joyce will never have any more fruit punch, ever, and she’ll never have eggs, or yawn or brush her hair, not ever, and no one will explain to me why.
Gets me every time. 😢
“How come he don’t want me man?”
That’s something that no child should ever have to ask about their father or mother
If someone doesn't cry at that, they have no heart
Honorary episode should've been criminal minds, season 5, episode 9. Hotch's wife had her life taken away while everyone heard. Then Hotch finding her body along with his son, Jack, who hid in a chest. He then says " i solved the case, just like you wanted" to hotch
Futurama made me cry as a kid
Nothing in TV/Movie history has made me cry more than "My screw up" . Ben was a fan-favorite side character but aside from that, the acting, the red herring in the beginning and the very very subtle clues that it was in fact Ben who died, to the reveal, and even the tiniest of character tweaks to really sell how tragic this was (like Cox actually allowing JD to embrace him and comfort him during the funeral, something that we would not see again until the series finale). It's just the perfect episode all around.
I'd add various parts from The Clone Wars, such as:
- Death of Fives
- Death of 99
- Ahsoka parting ways from Anakin
- Death of Duchess Satine
- Asajj suffering the extermination of the Nightsisters
- Any scene that happened during Order 66
- Vader at the crash site, picking up Ahsoka's discarded lightsaber
Rebels:
- Ahsoka learning that Darth Vader was Anakin Skywalker
- Kanan's self-sacrifice
Futurama:
- Yeah, definitely the Seymour episode. I'd also add the end of the Devil's Hands are Idle Playthings, with Fry playing an amateurish but sincere song on a holophoner for Leela alone.
- Fry learning that his brother named his son after him
- It was a comedic thing, but it was oddly sweet when Calculon made a movie about the death of Coilette (who was a sex-changed Bender), and watching TV, Bender bid him farewell with a pet name
- The display of how Leela's parents had been supporting her the whole time from the shadows (and sewers)
- When Fry and Leela have around 60 years together in frozen time
Batman: The Animated Series:
- Harvey Dent taken into police custody as Two-Face
- Ra's al Ghul recovering his elderly and essentially brain dead son
- Tim Drake befriends a girl called Annie, who was revealed to be a sapient spawn from Clayface, who absorbed her back into himself, killing her
- Mary Dahl/Babydoll's first defeat
- Revelation of the Judge
Justice League:
- Hawkgirl forced to euthanise Solomon Grundy (and again in Unlimited, which was even sadder since she hoped to see her friend again, but only found him a mindless husk)
- A bitter sweet one. When Vandal Savage helped Superman returned to the past to prevent the apocalypse, Savage fades out of existence, content
Doctor Who:
- Leaving Susan behind
- Death of Adric
- Death of Jenny
- Pete Tyler being comforted as he died by his daughter Rose, whom he would have never met otherwise
- "John Smith" compelled to return to being the Doctor
- First death of Harold Saxon Master
- War Doctor finally feeling like he was the Doctor again
- Missy's death
- Deaths of Amy Pond, Rory Williams (final one), and Bill Potts (Clara Oswald to a lesser extent)
- Bitter sweet, Vincent van Gogh going to the future to finally feel validation for his art and pain
- Deaths of Doctors 1, 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11, 12, and War
Poor Seymour That episode was so sad😢
Jurassic bark is so sad. Fry deserved to be reunited with his loyal friend😢😢😢😢😢
I saw that episode exactly 1 time. I'll never watch it again. It's too much for me😭
🥈
If you want to put the time the actor died in real life ahead on list thats fine. but the death of buffy's mom has never been beat in a TV series.

RIP Tony Todd for making that an S tier trek episode
Please... would you *stop* revealing the number one pick in the thumbnail? It defeats the whole point of a countdown.
Not surprised the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air episode “Papa’s Got A Brand New Excuse” is on this list.
Mark Greene's death in E.R., with that beautiful version of 'Over the Rainbow' on it-killed me 😭😭.x
Where is the death of Will Garner on The good wife? Such an emotional episode, and so unexpected... I think you missed that one guys... 100%...
Oh don't - I'm still not over that
Scrubs episode "My Screw-up" where Ben dies and Dr. Cox is grappling with it, hits me in the feels every time. The shock is so real. It's hard not to feel it, too.
ER had so many sad moments especially.Dr. Mark Green
We are never prepared for our parents death. I called my Dad's cell phone number for a long, long time. It obviously transferred to someone else. That hits hard. I miss my people. Being an only child this just sucks.
Yeah. I liked to look at my parents’ house on Google maps. They took the photo when my mom’s car was in the driveway, meaning she was home at the time. I liked to think of her at home. Sadly, Google updated the photo.
I'm really sorry about your dad. I'd hug you if I could. Peace and love to you friend.
Jurassic Bark is Futurama retelling the real life story of Hachiko the dog.
You make this list and don’t include the MASH Finale?
They didn’t have Abyssinia, Henry either. Both were worthy candidates for this list.
He's asian foreign not citizen america
Jurassic Bark, I can always re-watch because it was such a great tear jerker 😭
Jurassic Bark will always be in my heart
Good Times (1974-79) Season 4 episode 2, The Big Move: Part 2. Everyone's sad and emotional since James sudden death except Florida who seems emotionally unaffected. That is till the very end while cleaning up after the wake she then finally breaks down smashing a punch bowl on the ground with family immediately trying to console her . That scene always makes me cry especially since I lost my mother a year earlier
16:22 I lost my mom 10 years ago this December, it was so fast and sudden, hearing “I’m not ready for this”, rings so true- even now. Wow 😮💨
My condolences to you. January will mark 10 years since I lost my mother as well
@ sending you love and massive hugs 💛
Didn’t Seymour technically get to reunite with Fry in that time traveling special before being blasted into petrification by Bender?
Saddest episode is Reaching Out from The Owl House, Luz's father Manny Noceda passed away, when she was little
I recently rewatched Soap, and Elaine's death still hits just as hard as the first time.
I can't watch "Real Life" from Star Trek Voyager. It was devastating. I was mad at B'lanna for a whole season for what she put the Doctor through: essentially murdering his daughter just to prove a point.
It was an crime john c mcginley never won an major award for dr cox
The "Love's Labor Lost" from ER would seem like a shoo-in for a top 3 entry for this list, I would think.
What about "The Last Dance" episode from Full House? The girl's great-grandfather, Papouli, comes over for a visit, but sadly passes away in his sleep. Everyone is upset, especially Michelle. Michelle was expecting Papouli to be in school with her to show her class a traditional Greek dance. She's so upset she stays home from school, but her uncle Jesse informs her that it's okay to be sad. Jesse later takes her to school and shows Michelle's class the dance.
12:01 Chuckie´s mom always will touch my heart 😭❣
A few episodes from tv shows that broght me to tears.
Live bait. The walking dead. The governor was without a doubt, a ruthless villain, but honestly, seeing him walk around with nothing left as that song "last pale light in the west" was actually heartbreaking. It grounded this guy in reality, a person who despite just doing horrific things, reminding us that deep down inside, he was a human being, just like everyone else.
The deerfox. Hilda. Utilizing a lot of visual storytelling, seeing where twig came from and him making a heartwarming choice in the end is enough to make anyone shed tears.
Last of the starmakers. Courage yhe cowardly dog. The opening alone is hard to watch. And the mother squid turning into a garden in the end is beautiful, yet sad too.
And tale of X9. Samurai jack. This episode was not afraid to give us a hearbreaking ending, where even Jack himself felt sorry for the enemy he slew.
#2 even sadder with that scene of Naya Rivera belting out “If I Die Young” by The Band Perry given her own tragic and untimely death 😢
Had a feeling this video would bring tears to my eyes. DAMN IT
How is Dr Green’s death from ER not in this list?
Yet again you have forgotten ER. Wow.
I have one of the saddest but uplifting episodes of all time.
The episode: Sanctuary For A Child.
The series: Nightmare Café.
Frank is brought to his hometown by the titular building as a kid enters the door. It's soon revealed that the boy is actually in the hospital in a coma, barely clinging to life. Worse, it's the son of his best friend from childhood. Worse than that, the accident was, in a roundabout way, his father's fault. What really has you reaching for tissue, if you haven't already, is the ending and the little bit of closure Frank receives in the final moments is both life affirming and heartwrenching, helped by an 80s radio classic.
One that got me real bad was from House M.D. Spoiler alert for anyone who started watching it recently.

The death of Dr. Amber Volakis.. Wilson's girlfriend.
I actually didn't like her at first.. but was super happy for Wilson that he finally found someone that genuinely made him happy. Until.. that incident.
I bawled.. so hard. The way it was done, I don't know.. it was heartbreaking. Poor poor Wilson..
Jurassic Bark is a very sad ep. on its own but those final scenes, with the music, are tuff to get thru...
I would say The Life Of Brian was a sad episode. Especially if you have ever lost a beloved pet.
Is no one even going to acknowledge Tales of Ba Sing Se from ATLA??
The ending is enough to make a grown man cry
Iroh...iroh made me cry with that one
Futurama "Luck of the Fryrish" is equally heartbreaking as "Jurassic Bark".
You kids sure have a short memory. Where's the death of Henry Blake? You're missing your #1.
You didn’t have NYPD Blue when Andy found out Andy Jr. was murdered. You’ve got to be kidding.
The Neighborhood episode where Dave and Gemma lost their baby especially the scene when Gemma tearfully says she feels she will never be the same again.
Young Sheldon finale episodes
Sheldon dreaming of everything he DIDN'T say or do when George left the house 😢😭😭😭💖❤💖
AKA, the ones you skip when rewatching a season.
8 sime rules goodbye is genuinely beautiful and heartbreaking
When i knew that the title of the episode of HIMYM would be "Bad News" i thought would a sad episode, but it shouldn't had be that hard...😢
How about the Doctor Who episode where The Doctor and Rose had to say goodbye through a hologram?
"I...I love you..."
"Quite right too...and I suppose...if it's my last chance to say it...Rose Tyler..."
(Hologram ends)
ALWAYS makes me cry rewatching that episode
Honorable mention:
Have You Seen This Snail? - SpongeBob SquarePants
The “Gary Come Home” scene alone is a huge tearjerker 😢
I'm glad "Bad News" made it to this list. My Dad nearly died during the pandemic, and the first words I said to him when he left the hospital was "I'm not ready" specifically thinking about that episode. Even though my old man is still around, it's still a tough watch. What an emotional rollercoaster that episode was for us geriatric millennials.
Barney and Friends "Oh, What a Day" can make one feel sorry and sad for Tina and cat lovers might become sad that her and Lucy's kitten gets lost.
Spongebob's have you seen this snail really got to me. My dog ran out of the yard because the fence was damaged. I was scared the whole time I couldn't find her. Thank God the neighbor called me and told me they had her. I got the fence fixed soon after. I know how it feels and the anxiety when you don't know where a member of your family is.
the end credits of mother simpson is beautiful
In my opinion, the episode “Goodbye” of The Good Doctor should have been included. Absolute tear jerker.
Free Churro should have gotten BoJack Horseman an Emmy. It is one of the most perfectly written, voice acted, and overwhelmingly heartbreaking episodes of television.
And of course Jurassic Bark makes me cry EVERY SINGLE TIME. Futurama should also get an honorable mention for the episode where Fry finds out his brother named his son Phillip to honor his missing uncle.
LtCol Blake in M*A*S*H gets me every time 😭
How I Met Your Mother one with Marshall's dad actually did a quasi-cool thing in it, as it did a countdown from 50 and when they got to 1 (the number of the cab) is when it hit.
Out of all of these, the Rugats was the first one I saw. Still in HS, and cried for that little boy. It was a beautifully done episode ❤
I'm amazed that Melinda's death was addressed in the reboot (yes I support it).
Imagine not even having Six Feet Under series finale here 😹😹😹. You guys must be new to television.
Of course, Jurassic Bark is the saddest episode on the list. However the episode didn't explain how Seymour ended up being flash fossilized in the first place, in a standing position. If Seymour died at the very end of the episode, how could this happen? Thankfully, Bender's Big Score revealed the truth. Seymour was still alive, and taken care of by Fry's doom clone. Bender's attempt at assassinating Fry resulted in an explosion that flash fossilized Seymour, in his standing position. Now Fry's decision to not clone Seymour makes less sense, given that he didn't forget about his master, given a duplicate of said master took care of him for him. Crazy, isn't it?
While Bad News is a really sad episode for HIMYM, i honestly think Time Travelers hits way harder. Especially when you consider the fact that Tracy is technically dead and Ted begging for 45 more days with her isn’t born out of selfishness but out of sadness.
I remember " the wonder years " always made me cry...I remember the part where Kevin's math teacher died and his father also died in the last episode. I guess nobody remembers this show.
Code of Hero. That was Heartbreaking.
Where's "The Bicycle Thief" from Dead like me?
This Is Us was such a wonderful show.. I'm going to go back and rewatch it. Also the episode with Miguel dying was heartbreaking.
I was never a HUGE fan of Ritter... but the fact that the cast was hit SO hard by his passing makes those two episodes amazing, but hard to watch without bawling, whether you knew him as an actor or not.
The Greys Anatomy death still destroys me
Where is the Courage the Cowardly Dog episode where his parents get sent into space when he’s a baby?
Not gonna lie every time I see that episode Jurassic Bark it always made me cry 😢 I was just crying right now from this video thinking about my Cat/Brother. God how badly I missed him.
Jurassic Bark made me cry again! 😢
Ozymandias in breaking bad was quite sad. That episode could have been mentioned.
Why in the H*LL did I watch this video?! This was BRUTAL.
Brian is one of my several favorite characters in Family Guy.
Killing the character off was a big mistake, but Seth MacFarlane and other producers decided to bring the character back in a couple of episodes later.
This is so depressing why, in the heck, did I click on this video.
The line "My mom is dead and everything is worse now" from Free Churro still hurts like a freight train collision.
I saw Seymour in the thumbnail and thought, “sure I’ll ruin my week”
One of the saddest Grey’s Anatomy episodes made me cry so hard I threw up on my carpet 😔
Number one: Jurassic Bark
My: Gooooooooooooood
The Mirlock Episode Of Power Rangers SPD (2005) The mirror guy that killed Sky's father prior to the series great 2 parter episode one of the franchises best Of all time
this needs to be a Top 50.....with streaming services at play here....i can name 5 more shows with sad episodes...for example....Teen Wolf, The Vampire Diaries, etc
The quarterback is my number 1. When I hear "when I die young" it is over.
What about the walking dead when Glenn dies? And Abraham that is one of the saddest episodes I’ve ever seen in any show
You forgot the episode from season 5 of Criminal Minds where Hailey Hotchner dies and the Season 3 finale where Rip Hunter dies in DC Legends of Tomorrow
And arrow where Oliver, Quentin, Laurel and Sara died
Jurassic Bark may have one of the saddest endings ever, but it does put a smile on my face because Seymour never forgot Fry and waited for him to come back like a loyal dog would.
"The Golden Girls" when Phil dies and Sophia couldn't deal with it. On"Good Times" when James was killed. Florida tried to stay strong for the kids.
What about six feet under's finale
