I'm such a wimp that I always get so involved with the characters in the series that I watch, and usually cry when something happens to them.

One storyline that I'm still recovering from is the Rose/10 separation in Doctor Who. I mean, every time I see a GIF of the scenes on Tumblr, or watch the episodes I will literally break down in tears.

So, does anyone else get like this over TV shows? Am I just weird? Either way, what are the saddest TV shows for you?

Sons of Anarchy... *Spoilers* Dozens of extremely sad things happen, most recently the main character was supposed to choose one of his friends to die for another gangs retribution, he ended up watching his best friend being beaten to death and couldn't even try and do anything to stop it because him and a few other friends of the dude were in a cell type thing, it was pretty sad.

Breaking Bad, not really sad, but definitely very dark and depressing. When I think of the word sad I think of crying. When I think of the word depressing I think of a hard punch to the gut that hurts and makes you feel like shit.

I only got emotionally invested in Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh. I was sad the poor thing couldn't seem to catch a break and while miserable himself was able to help others and actually be reliable and trustworthy and found happiness in watching lights in the sky.

Every single other character I have ever seen, I don't get attached to. I always find something about them that irks me and just kills them, or I realize that they're not as deep as I thought and are actually 1 dimensional.

Your not weird.

The last episode of M*A*S*H get's me. Anybody who has seen it will appreciate the inner melancholy that is so profound. It's the only tv show since I was a kid to have made me cry. Yes. I get a tear every time I see it. <3

It's also the only series I have ever completely watched 100%.
Sorry I went M*A*S*H again. :P

"That is all"

I was actually more sad when David began to regenerate, I bawled begging him to not go that we still had more adventures to go on together. :(

Really want to watch that but haven't. Seems real sad.

Oh my gosh, I was like that too! When he said "I-I don't wanna go." I was literally on my knees in front of the TV screaming "Stay then! Stay then, you goddamn Time Lord!"

Fire and Blood, the last episode of Game of Thrones series 1 got me like this too. Although I'd already read every book, it still shocked me when the sword came slashing down, mainly because of Arya and Sansa's reactions I think. I'm especially not looking forward to series 3 as I know that another amazing character dies halfway through that. :(

That was the first time I really understood, even though a time lord regenerates, it really is like death to them. The death of a person. That in itself only made David leaving that much worse.

I sobbed at that episode! I just could not get it together after that! I missed the whole introduction of the 11th Doctor and had to re-watch it.

Uh... I cried at the season 2 finale of Supernatural... and the episode of NCIS S.W.A.K.

Oh! The episode of Monk with the baby was sad as crap too.

Yeah, there were quite a few sad moments in Supernatural, and a few in Walking Dead too.

Haha, the Doctor Who regenerations were rough for me. Also, Amber's death at the end of season 4 of House. I cried while watching that episode on about eight occasions.
