Tv's Saddest Moments

[Cleon]

I remember this inventors show. Americas next great inventor or something. But there was this guy on it who had sold up everything & was living out of his car. His wife had died. He had this ball game batter ball or something & it was shit. He was hoping to get through but I mean this was the most pathetic game I've ever seen. But even the 3 judges had a hard time telling him no. I felt so bad for the dude, all his hopes & dreams were on that game & he couldn't see how bad it was, he was still adamant as he left that it was going to be a big thing. Completely delusional.

There's a couple. I'm gonna include some spoilers here for people who might want to watch a certain show or be watching it now.

I'd have to say imo one of the saddest is in The Wire

when Bodie & Poot kill Wallace. I found that really genuinely upsetting. As is the end of Series 4, involving Bubbles & Shirard

It's not exactly sad, but probably the most moving moment for me in TV history is the episode of The Simpsons where Homer quits his job to work at the bowling alley & has to beg for his job back when Maggie is born. Mr Burns takes him into a room with a big plaque saying 'DON'T FORGET YOU'RE HERE FOREVER'. The original point was that there were no pictures of Maggie & Homer says he keeps them where he needs them most & it cuts to the same room full of pictures of Maggie covering the plaque's wording to say 'DO IT FOR HER'. The Simpsons has a few that can get me thinking about it as does Futurama.
