Have you ever cried when a show ended? [possible spoilers?]

Daemos

I very nearly did on two occasions

The first time was the last episode (at the time, it came back a few years later) of Futurama. The writers knew that it was very likely that the show would be cancelled so they wrote a story where Fry and Leela finally got together at the end after an emotional singing piece (something they completely discarded when it returned but that's beside the point)

The other, more recent one was when I bought the Friends boxset and got to the last episode. It wasn't even the fact that Ross and Rachel had finally gotten together (again), but rather the final scene where they all left the empty apartment for the last time.

What about you? Ever shed a tear when your favourite shows came to a end?

robby^5

At the end of Band of Brothers when it first aired. That last scene with the real Richard Winters still gets me choked up to this day.

When I finally got the Freaks and Geeks DVD after a long fan campaign to have it released (having never seen the last episode) I got teary eyed.

KeithM89_old

Cried at the end of 24 a couple of months ago :cool:

The only show ever to make me cry - and it happened more than once

jonnym61

Like Robby above said, the end of band of brothers got me, and my old man it has to be said, and more recently the last episode of dollhouse got me a bit and the last episode of lost, not the very end of it but the part where they all rememberd who each other were!!

Silverfish

Last episode of Band of Brothers and last episode of Six Feet Under.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

no, but I get chocked up whenever I watch the last episodes of that 70's show and 3rd rock from the sun

so sad

Basq

Six Feet Under..


.. that is all!

claiva

Bawled uncontrollably at the last few scenes of Lost.
Missus thought it was hilarious.
And Six Feet Under.

KerranJast

End of Farscape, Band of Brothers and The Pacific. Thank God I saw all those away from the mockery of others

nalorac

Dollhouse and Buffy. Loved them So much!

Infact anything by Joss Wheadon

Anything that Fox cut (hate Fox)

Aw god the bit with Marissa, I was sitting there bawling, my boyfriend walked in and said 'whats wrong' I pointed at tv and he said 'omg I thought someone died', I was sobbing 'they did' he still laughs at me now

DenMan

The very end of Star Trek: The Next Generation when the entire crew are playing poker (including Captain Picard) and then it shows the Enterprise going off in the distance. My favourite TV series of all time.

Lu Tze

Choked up on the last episode of the west wing - best show ever made.

It was a sensational ending. The best I have ever seen anyway.

grenache

The end Ashes to Ashes was highly emotional. Seeing 4 out of the main 5 characters walk into the pub (heaven) was tear inducing, as was watching DCI Gene Hunt remain as guvnor of 'coppers purgatory'. The end and full explanation of the Life On Mars / Ashes to Ashes storyline, the best scripted shows the BBC have and will ever produce.

rebel girl 15

I got tears watching the last episode of the West Wing when

President Bartlet opens the box on the plane and finds the paper napkin that Leo had written Bartlet for America on.

humanpunchbag

The ending of Studio Sixty on the Sunst Strip.
Not because it was particularly sad, but because it only got one season!:mad:

+ 1 - that was a great show!

ThatNewGuy

Not in the end, but in Scrubs there was a scene when 3 of Dr. Cox's patients died while How To Save A Life was playing in the background. I got really teary there

liah

Skins (the first generation), particularly when Sid and Tony are saying goodbye. Just gets me for some reason. Didn't cry, but definitely had tears welling!

The Pacific and Band of Brothers definitely made me well up, too. Very powerful shows.

There may be others, but I doubt it. I don't get that attached that easily, and the ones that I am attached to haven't had horribly sad endings or were cut off before expected and had to throw together an ending.

And no endings, but DEFINITELY more than a few moments in Scrubs! Ben, Laverne, My Lunch.. Oh, what a quality show.

kryogen

Came close to tearful anger when i first learned Dirty Sexy Money was not coming back, there is so much i need to know!

i cried at the end of 24 also, not ashamed to say it

kryogen

Dr. Cox knows how to get a tear from me also

krudler

Band of Brothers for me too.

"My grandon asked me, "grandpa, were you a hero in the war?" and I said "no...but I fought in the company of heros"

Also not the end but in the "Why We Fight" episode, where

Liebgott has to tell the Jewish prisoners to get back in the camp until they sort out supplies for them

clived2

The Wire


No explanation needed

halpin17

I cried when

marissa died

because I knew it was the end of the show from that point on.

kelle

I loved Mile High, which was shown on sky tv between 2002-2005. I cried when it's last episode was shown, which was set a year after the previous one. Will and Janice were no longer working with the airline industry but now owned a restaurant in Spain. The whole episode re-capped on everything that had happened the previous year, and it emerged one of the leading air-hostesses had died in an air crash. I cried, thinking how her son was left without his mum. To this day, I still miss this show as I've never followed
another series since.

mountainy man

Six feet under was an amazing show , there has been nothing to touch it before or since and the final episode had me blubbing into my cushion, i miss it so much.

Six feet under
2001-2005
RIP

Timistry

Any of the awesome shows that fox seems to love axing prematurely. I almost cried with disbelief at the ending of Terminator: The Sarah Connor chronicles. What a load of BS! Ooh i waited over a year to watch the end of Boston Legal. Just did not want it to end:D

humanpunchbag

The ending of Firefly too!

That so deserved another season!

emmabo25

The end of Six Feet Under made me cry for about a week. All I had to do was think about it and I was off again. I thought it was so touching & upsetting at the same time. I miss that show and those characters so much

Yes Yes Yes - I was so down after it ended, needed more. Damm Fox

Busi_Girl08

Friends - I started sniffling when Ross and Rachel were reunited, and then at the end, th picture frame, the peephole, the keys


Lost - I cried like a bitch at the last 20 minutes. But here's the clincher....I had never watched an episode of it beforehand. I was flickng round, turned over to it on Sky 1, and thought "feck it, see what all the hype was about"
Mum thought I had gone mad.

Six Feet Under - Ditto

Futurama - I got teary at the end of the finale, with Fry and Leela.

EDIT: OH OH OH!!! BUFFY!!!!!

Also, quite embarrassingly....Charmed

Basq

'Lost' was very sad also..

.. these are characters that I watched through my college life and into my full-time job. I loved these characters and although the final season was hit and miss, I was very upset to see it go.

Plus the final shot / closing moments is an absolute stroke of genius!

Always number 1

Bawled my head off watching the last episode of Friends: Ross "did she get off the plane?" Rachel "I got off the plane"

The end of Prison Break nearly finished me off too - I well up everytime I hear Spiritualized Lay it Down Slow

alandel2001

I'm such a white stereotype for saying this, but the last episode of MASH. Saw it on Sky One as a teenager, and the last bit where the helicopter pulls away and all the stones are arranged on the ground made me weep.

I want to blame teenage hormones, but don't think I can.

emmabo25

Just thought of another one, the end of Blackadder gets me every time. I think the fact it was such a funny show and then it goes out on this somber moment makes it all the more effective.

STIG83

Def the end of Scrubs and Prisonbreak

Riddle101

I didn't cry but I did get chocked up at the end of Scrubs, where JD is walking down the corridor and all the characters from past episodes were standing in a line, as well as the end sequence with the song.

Ah hell i'll post it

Princess Peach

I'm a big crier in general! Please don't laugh at what I have to say.

I cried at the last episode of Dawson's Creek, when they showed 4 years in the future.

I cried at the end of the O.C, again when they showed the future.

The end of the Gilmore Girls, when Rorie and Lorelei are saying goodbye.

The end of Lost. Not because the end was particularly brilliant, I think it was just saying goodbye to such a big part of my life if you get me.

Yes I am a mess!

Tallaght Saint

I was just about to post that, Riddle

phasers

I was in floods of tears when the 10th Doctor regenerated (kinda-sorta counts), and cried whenever I thought about it for ages afterwards. He was my first proper Doctor ;-;

I got a bit choked up when Futurama ended as well (wish it had stayed cancelled tbh, it ended perfectly and the new stuff is crap)

Very close to tears at the end of Scrubs too, that last season (the 9th doesn't register with me as Scrubs) as a whole was a great end and really pulled the standard back up.

Father Ted too, but mostly because it reminds me of Dermot Morgan's death.

silvervixen84

These ones finished in "my time" rather than me watching them years after they actually finished, otherwise my list would be really long!

24 - devastated that it ended, but I think it finished the best way it could have

Friends - when I saw them place their keys on the counter, I bawled

(JD's last)Scrubs - amazing last episode

Lost - hated the ending, but did cry at points during the last episode

Fr Ted - knowing DM had died a day after the last episode was filmed, plus the usual flashbacks in the episode made it so poignant.

Only Fools and Horses (before they made the Christmas specials) - again, crying like a baby

I'm always crying over TV shows!

+1 to all those.
I also teared up at the last episode of MASH, an amazing show with a fantastic final episode. The 135 minute long finale got ratings of about 106 million viewers in the USA! It's a real roller coaster of a final episode and a fitting end for all the characters. Definitely the best, and saddest, ending to a TV show that I've seen.

Silvervixen, knowing Dermot Morgan had so recently and suddenly passed away also made the last Father Ted poignant for me too.

These too, i didnt exactly cry, well i tried not to, the flashbacks in Fr Ted really tugged at my heart strings.

The end of "Extras", when Andy gives his speech and apologizes to Maggie, really put a lump in my throat.

The Wire, simply because it was over and i knew i watched something very special and will probably never see a show as special again.

darrenw5094

I felt a tear every time i watched an episode of Prisioner Cell Block H.

STIG83

The Season four finale of House, when Wilson lost his Girlfriend, heartbreaking episode

Bacon and Cabbage

Cant believe no one has mentioned frasier yet!! :eek:
