TV Shows that make you cry

ER - the funeral of Dr. Dr.Anspaugh's son, when Jeannie Boulet sings, "Good Riddence".

M*A*S*H - When Radar announces that Lt. Col. Henry Blake's plane was shot down, as he was headed to Toyko and home.

Designing Women - 1) When Charlene has her baby, and the others end up in the room with an elderly black woman (Miss Minnie) marvels about everything she has seen in her lifetime: "....I thought as I got older, the bold outline of truth would be revealed to me, but it hasn't happened. When I was young, I was in such a hurry. And now, I've been here a hundred years. It seems like only yesterday I held my babies in my arms. I'm glad to be going home. It's been a long time since I've seen my family. And I wish for all of you, all the love and happiness I had in my life -- and I hope the world keeps going toward freedom. And I hope that people everywhere can learn to live together in peace. As my pappa used to say......we ain't what we should be, we ain't what we're gonna be, but at least we ain't what we were....." (and Miss Minnie slowly lays back as she gasps her final breath and passes on.)

2) When Suzanne's ex-husband, Dash Goff, gives the following soliloquy:
"Yesterday, in my mind's eye, I saw four women standing on a verandah in white gauzy dresses and straw colored hats. They were having a conversation, and it was hot - their hankies tucked in cleavages where eternal trickles of perspiration run from the female breast bone to exotic vacation spots that Southern men often dream about. They were sweet smelling, coy, cunning, voluptuous, voracious, delicious, pernicious, vexing and sexing - these earth sister rebel mothers, these arousers and carousers. And I was filled with a longing to join them. But like a whim of Scarlett's, they turned suddenly and went inside, shutting me out with the bolt of a latch. And I was left only to pick up an abandoned handkerchief and savor the perfumed shadows of these women. These Southern women. This Suzanne, this Julia, this Mary-Jo and Charlene. Thanks for the comfort. "
---Dash Goff, the Writer

ER- All in the Family. The first time I saw that eppy I bawled my eyes out. It was so sad. Seeing Carter and Lucy flighting to live. Then Benton, who is usually so stoic, upset about Carter. Then Romano, at the end with Lucy, trying to save her and Corday saying she's gone. Then when Weaver comes in and he is stitching her up, so un-Romano.

CSI is making me cry but not in a good way. I'm sooooo incredibly sick of the whole Grissom and Sara secret romance. Gag me. I am seriously ready to cry over the stupidity of it.

Extreme Makeover: Home Edition - Every single episode, gets me everytime. The families have some really sad stories (but also inspirational).

Intervention - I really feel for the addicts and their families. Some of the things that happen to those people that lead to their drug use is really sad to me.

Oh, dear god, I've never bawled so much as when I watch that ep. There are other episodes of MASH that do that to me also.

It is really sad thinking of the shows that make cry. That is because all it takes to make me cry is to see someone on tv crying at a really sad moment. I even cried during "Full House" when the Jesse's grandfather died and the whole family was crying. Bascially, when sitcoms get serious, I will get a lump in my throat.

Don't get me started on dramas. I could easily start bawling at any given moment.
