Another Six Feet Under fan here (woot!).

I didn't necessarily think the finale was particularly sad. I was definitely sad to see the show go though. I thought the finale was really fulfilling. It's probably the best ending for a show ever. Alan Ball is a genius.

I thought the season finale of HBO's Treme was really sad.
 
When Cameron explained to House why she's leaving. Incredible execution and writing. Almost summarizes what the show's about or not about.

Episode 10 of The Pacific. The whole thing is sad, but especially when Eugene had nightmares and his dad listening outside.

House is just a crazy roller coaster of emotions throughout a season.

When he realized he'd been hallucinating the whole Cuddy thing and said, "I'm not alright." Damn that was good TV.
 
My #1 - The end credits of Spitting Image when Sting performed a version of 'Every Breath You Take', with new lyrics - 'Every bomb you make, Every job you take...etc. etc.'; all dubbed over a montage of puppets of Thatcher, Reagan, Ayatollah Khomeini, Ian Paisley, etc.

It occasionally gets posted to YouTube for a few days before being removed due to copyright.
 
Some of my saddest moments are the life lessons I hear about during the final moments of all the episodes of The Wonder Years.
 
Many sad moments with long time series ending, etc. An oldie was when Little House on the Prairie when Albert dies. then there is the real life deaths of Michael Landon and Victor French.
 
When Laura Palmer's dad finds out that he's Bob.

Ah, just watched the second series of Twin Peaks recently and Fire Walk With Me... Leland Palmer, what a tragedy, what a creep. :) Ray Wise turned up in a cameo in last Sunday's Mad Men with his unsettling grin.
 
Why is it that I imagine you watch a lot of David Lynch films?


I don't watch a lot of David Lynch films. I watch the handful that exist over and over. :D The guy's a true genius. How some hack like Ron Howard has an Oscar and America's greatest surrealist goes unrecognised is a sham.

But if we're talking film and Lynch, and sadness... Laura Dern's unravelling and bloody prolonged death scene on the pavement of the Walk of Fame in Inland Empire is stunningly sad. Strange, what love does.

True, Ron Howard is a hammy hack. The Oscars are such a sham anyway. I think they are mainly awarded on the basis of revenue, not merit.
