== ''[[CSI]]'' franchise ==
* [[CSI]]. "Goodbye and Good Luck". 'Nuff said.
=== Documentaries ===▼
** Also, {{spoiler|Warrick's apparent death}} in "For Gedda".
*** {{spoiler|The horrible confirmation of all the rumors in "For Warrick". When he died in Grissom's arms.}}
*** {{spoiler|It wasn't even so much the confirmation that Warrick was dead. It was Grissom completely losing it while holding Warrick in his arms. Grissom spent the entire series beforehand showing two emotions: indifference, and occasional happiness. Watching him fall apart as his friend and colleague dies in his arms as well}}
**** {{spoiler|And when Grissom breaks down reading the eulogy at his funeral.}}
*** {{spoiler|Warrick was a father who was looking to gain custody of his son when he died. There is a video of how he considers Grissom to be a father figure when he didn't have one himself.}}
** Just mentioning the episodes "Dead Doll" and "Living Doll".
** "Grave Danger" when they found Nick. Warrick pleading with him to drop the gun and Grissom using his father's nickname for him to keep him from going hysterical again.
** "Feeling the Heat". Namely the ending, where {{spoiler|Catherine tells the Winstons, who killed their baby because they thought he was going to die of Tay-Sachs anyway, that the tests for the kid came back negative.}}
** ''Miami'' had "Wannabe", an episode where a CSI wannabe fanboy witnesses a crime. After retrieving evidence the fanboy "borrowed" from his apartment, Speed starts making friends with him. Then he dies horribly. Evidence can't link the suspect to the fanboy's murder, but he does go down for the original. Then Speed finds out the kid was mentally disturbed, and actually killed ''himself''.
{{quote|'''Speed''': What do I do?
'''Caine''': You go home, get some rest, and you come back tomorrow. }}
** The last 5 minutes of "One to Go" reduced her to a blubbering pile of mush.
* The ''CSI:NY'' season 5 finale "Pay Up" when {{spoiler|Detective Jessica Angell was shot and killed. First of all, she's on the phone with her boyfriend, Detective Don Flack, when the bad guys drive a truck into the diner she's in. His panic makes you tear up. Then, later on in the episode, we find out that she died through Flack's quiet, stressed, "She's gone..." before he breaks down. The fact that Flack was the last person many fans expected to see cry on the show makes it worse. Flack's expression through the rest of the episode, especially when he gives her police badge to her former-cop father, is heartbreaking.}}
** The show hasn't been the same since, and more's the pity for that.
* The fate of Cassie and Ashley James. Two sisters, both of them beautiful and outgoing, drawn into the modelling world. One of them ends up dead of eating disorders and self-neglect, the other crazy and homeless, wandering the streets of Vegas with her shopping cart...
* "A Thousand Days on Earth" - a little girl is found in a box, abandoned, only to be recognized by her father, who is in prison. The whole episode is said, but seeing her father ([[Hey, It's That Guy!|played by the same actor who plays Det. Sanchez on The Closer]]), a hardened criminal, break down in tears of anguish and impotent rage when he sees her picture on the news is ... wow.
* One section of the PBS documentary ''Carrier'' as the sailors stand on the deck while pulling into Pearl Harbor. The combination of Five For Fighting's "World" in the background and the sheer beauty of the execution of the scene sent her into a blubbering mess.
* The documentary series "Secrets of the Dead" also had one incredibly tear-jerking episode. The scientists were trying to identify several anonymous corpses recovered in the aftermath of the Titanic disaster, nearly a century after they had been buried. When they exhumed the bodies however, they found to their horror that most of the graves had been filled with water and there was almost no DNA left they could use for identification. Only one grave wasn't flooded - the grave reserved at the top of the hill for the body of an unidentified baby boy. Incredibly, they found a tiny bone fragment that hadn't decomposed yet, and it contained just enough DNA so that they could finally identify the boy. The scientist who performed the identification was so moved that he seemed to be holding back tears, and could only say that "Someone wanted us to know who this child is."
Line 22 ⟶ 40:
* One episode of ''Nova'' documented a six-year attempt to identify a World War II-era submarine that had been found off the coast of New Jersey. It was finally identified as ''U-869''. The filmmakers found that one of the crewmembers' sisters had emigrated to the United States after the war and had settled in Maryland, a few hours from the New Jersey coast. She had been told that her brother's U-boat was presumed lost off Gibraltar. The filmmakers went to her home and filmed the moment that she was told that her brother was much closer than she had believed...
* Given its [[Anyone Can Die]] policy, [[Kamen Rider Ryuki]], unsurprisingly, has a fair number of these moments.
** {{spoiler|Kamen Rider Imperer}}'s final moments are particularly painful. Betrayed and left for dead in the Mirror World without his armor for protection, he spends his last seconds alive in the rain, gazing at the lone figure of a woman who may have represented everything he wanted in a life, as his body slowly dissolves into nothingness.
Line 38 ⟶ 56:
** A [[Bitter Sweet]] moment: {{spoiler|The Sonozaki family reuniting peacefully in death. After having spent the entire series fighting and backstabbing each other, Wakana and Saeko are seen embracing while Ryubee tells Philip they'll be watching over him.}}
* Several people have actually ''committed suicide'' after being contestants on a reality TV show. Cheryl Kosewicz from the show ''Pirate Master'' was found dead during the show's run on TV (after filming) and someone{{who}} from ''Paradise Hotel'' also did the same.
* [[Big Brother]]: All Stars had a small tear jerker when Dr. Will and Boogie, Chilltown, were put up on the block against each other and they chose to evict Dr. Will. Throughout the game, they played around in the diary room and pretended to call each other on the telephone. After Dr. Will was evicted, Boogie had one of those where he had the phone-hand to his head and asked "Hello? Hello?" and there was no answer.
Line 46 ⟶ 64:
** A few ''other'' people being evacuated. There were a few people where it wasn't really that big of an impact and was sort of a relief to see that they got treatment. (Like say, Bruce in ''Panama'' or Jonathan Penner & James in ''Micronesia'') But some others were odd...Kathleen quit the game in ''Micronesia'' and was having a ''mental breakdown'', but the most recent was in ''Samoa'' where Mike and Russell S. both had extremely low blood pressure and Russell S. was saying "No no let me get back into the game"
* {{spoiler|Mikoto}}'s death in ''[[Super Sentai|Bakuryu Sentai Abaranger]]'', made all the more amazing by the fact that {{spoiler|for most of the series he had been the resident [[Magnificent Bastard]]}}.
* ''Any'' episode of ''any'' Super Sentai series where the rangers befriend a [[Monster of the Week]] that doesn't want to hurt people or cause trouble ''never'' ends well for the heroes.
