Pushing Daisies/Tear Jerker

Tear Jerkers in  include:

"Ned: Can't we keep the truth between you and me? Chuck: It's hard to keep the truth between you and me when I can't look at you."
 * "Corpsicle." Chuck has learned that Ned accidentally killed her father when he was nine (he didn't know at the time he could only bring someone back for a minute or else someone else would die). At the end of the episode, she forgives him and then asks him to bring her father back to life for one minute. His reply: "No. I'm not going to bring him back just so you can watch me kill him again." By this point, everyone is in tears.
 * Also, Ned and Chuck's argument earlier in the episode.


 * And then Ned falls apart....
 * Despite the craziness of the character just a moment earlier when Olive said  in the season 2 premiere. (And she swears that she hears music from some modern broadway musical playing somewhere every time she watches that scene.)
 * Virtually any episode opening detailing the melancholy childhood of Ned, but especially  Gets me every time.
 * The way Ned teeters between awareness and unawareness of how broken he is. In particular, the scene in "Bzzzzz!" when Chuck asks him how long he'd lived alone and his answer--delivered, heartbreakingly, in his usual quiet monotone--is "Long enough."
 * The cancellation.
 * The scene at the very beginning of "Dim Sum, Lose Sum": all those lonely little boys, playing roulette because they have nothing better to do. Since they don't have any money, they wagering their most cherished posessions: a slinky, a toy car... all those intensely beloved treasures of childhood. (Ned wagers the last gift his mother ever gave him. And loses.) Because they're that desperate for some kind of connection with other people, some kind of bond with other children, even if it's not even friendship. And none of the adults notice or care, because they've all gone away for the weekend.
 * In Pie-lette, the very first episode, Ned is about to touch Chuck for the second, final time and she asks, "Do you want to be my last kiss? First and last? Or is that weird?" He gently replies, "It's not weird. It's symmetrical."
