Here are my top 10 saddest TV moments (left vague for those who haven't seen them, but hopefully descriptive enough to be recognized by those who have seen them):
"Everwood" - "home" in which Colin goes back for surgery and the brilliant Treat Williams lets you know what happened without any words or any sad music cueing the audience. (actually most of everwood season 1 is sad)
"Wonder Years" when the buses go in opposite direction to the sounds of "God Only Knows."
"My So-Called Life" - the christmas episode with the homeless.
"Party of Five" - the seson 1 finale involving Bailey's (Scott Wolfe's character) girlfriend.
"Angel" - The ending of "You're Welcome." Seeing a character that has grown soo much from his/her first appearance die so young affected me quite a bit (especially for a TV character).
"The Mary Tyler Moore Show" - Mary shutting the lights off in "It's a long way to Tipperary"
"Babylon 5" - Ivanova's monologue in "Sleeping in Light"
"Murphy Brown" - the episode where Avery (her mother) dies.
"Buffy the Vampire Slayer" - Dawn's reaction in "The Body".
"ER" - the aforementioned episode involving Dr. Corday's letter.
