Episodes you actually get emotional over..

[Spawn67]

We all know that T.V. sit coms aren't real life but is there ever a episode or episodes you get emotional over?

For me it's the Happy Days episode where richie says goodbye...

That and the "Memories" sequence from the final Happy Days show right before the wedding (tried to find it on youtube but I guess they took it down)

Couldn't agree more about Happy Days. When Ritchie tells Fonz he wrote him a letter....gets me every time

The Lost in Space episode The Time Merchant.

For 3 years Doctor Smith has been a total butthole throughout the years.

He would never raise a finger to help anyone and would quickly sell everyone out if it would get him back to Earth.

In The Time Mechant he is finally back on Earth but the cost will be everyone in the Jupiter 2 will die.

In a stunning moment clarity Smith yells --- NO --- I CAN'T DO IT !!!

He is then Lost in Space again with his now saved pals.

Being a huge LIS fan that scene always gave me a lump in my throat

Star Trek...The City On the Edge of Forever.

At the end, Kirk's reaction to Edith Keeler's death.

For me with Star Trek, it's Devil in the Dark when Spock is melded with the Horta and communicating for her. There's "something in my eye" every time.

Dr. Corey's self-realization and Christine's loss is also very poignant IMO in "What are Little Girls Made Of?"

Many films affect me thusly, but I can't think of any sitcoms that did. Maybe when Edith died on All in the Family.

In Spongebob when the Flying Dutchman tells Spongebob and Patrick they have three wishes and Spongebob wishes that Squidward was there with them.

Final episode of MASH gets me...
The episode where Henry Blake dies is up there too.

Andy Griffith episode where Andy gives Opie the talk about killing the mama bird with a sling shot.

Wow, all these and believe it or not, the Waltons. Almost all of the episodes have moments like this and take you from the Great Depression through WWII. Great history lesson and pulls you in like a first person experience. I watched them all with my wife a few years back and was a fan pretty quickly. Brother can you spare a dime? No wonder it won Grammies. Allot of the people (the greatest generation) were our ages when it originally aired.

^Finally!!! Another Walton's fan here. Worth so much more than custom fodder ;-) If you don't cry when Grandma comes back after her (real-life) stroke, you're dead inside.

Final episode of MASH gets me...
The episode where Henry Blake dies is up there too.

Andy Griffith episode where Andy gives Opie the talk about killing the mama bird with a sling shot.

The two Mash episodes you mentioned, Archie Bunker's Place when Edith dies, and the finale of Barney Miller come to mind for me.

I don't really get worked up over television shows, but some touching moments, sure.

One of them was the Good Times James Evans' death episode. His death was revealed at the end of the episode in the fourth season opener. Story picks up on the second episode, and we have Florida acting nonchalantly for the entire episode, not displaying any emotions...until she finally breaks down in the end...

Learning of James' death...

after the commercial of course.

Can't think of any TV shows but I I certainly got choked up at the end of Brian's Song and Schindler's List.

Bonanza had a few emotional episodes, when Hoss was a new born infant, his mother shielded him from an Apache arrow.
Hoss was ready to get married, but his fiancé was sick and had to leave, she only had weeks to live. Other episodes
involving Little Joe, Adam and the Father, some real tear jerkers were thrown in there.
