Scrubs - My Last Words

One of those "down to reality" episodes, going so deep into something we all have tons of emotions for. Very strong episode. Especially when he says "No. No!" - really hits you. The part I remember most from the first time I saw it was when he says "You thought that was deep? That's not deep! I'm over here dying, and that's all you got??"

It's truly amazing how well Scrubs handles death, much better than every single other doctor show. And better than most other shows in general. Incredibly for a sitcom.
 
I've always been fond of an episode of King of the Hill: Won't you Pimai Neighbor:

Particularly the ending. Wasn't able to find a video or a good picture, but it was surprisingly touching.
 
The scrubs one and the episode where they mess up and lose 3 patients (my screw up maybe) the bit with 'how to save a life playing'

Also it may not count as its real life but the Raw after Eddie Guerro died, there was a montage of his career set to 'hurt' and with the other wrestlers in bits on the stage it was all too much.

Storyline wise hbk - flair 'I'm sorry - I Love you!'
 
Can't believe it took 66 posts. I defy anyone to watch all five seasons of Six Feet Under and not be bawling like a baby by the end if it. I get upset just remembering it and I haven't seen it for at least five years.

I just finished all the seasons and saw that last episode.

The show is so sloppy so often, but I guess it's sort of like life that way... but even with all that and the wonky as fuck old makeup, that was easily the most powerful moment I've ever seen in television. Easily. The show doesn't rank up there for me, but that scene does.
 
In the Season 2 finale for SOAP - just before Burt Campbell is abducted by aliens - Corinne's baby is possessed by a demon, and Jessica Tate has a final confrontation with the demon where she goes through all that the family has been through. Quite moving.
 
Just remembered one from the latest season of Futurama. In Cold Warriors, the whole episode shows some of the relationship between Fry and his father. It's pretty much what we've expected over the course of the series, until the end where he reveals he's hard on Fry to prepare him for what he may face in the future. I didn't really think much about it until I saw it the second time and caught the last line, while Fry's trying to keep warm. "Now bundle up, I wouldn't want you getting frozen." It's a really devastating line.
