WHich TV show series had the saddest ending?

I remember the finale to quantum leap, the finale episode was rubbish, but the ending was really sad.

24 season 1 was pretty sad for our hero

i'm going to go with a strange choice and say black adder goes forth which ,while being a comedy, had one of the most poignant endings ever when all the men went over the top of the trenches

i also thought band of brothers had a sad ending...especially when major winters told that one of the men who survived went out fishing and was never seen again...

Tru Calling....cry I miss it so much

I'd say Season 1 & 3 of 24

Season 1 - Jack finds his wife dead
Season 3 - Jack breaking down and crying in his SUV after a VERY ROUGH day

One Foot In The Grave.

British T.V show.

Quantum Leap

Quantum Leap was harsh but deliberately hopeful. As for 24, Jack is such a messed-up-in-the-head hero that he seems to get over it.

People don't tend to stand for truly sad endings any more. You need to look towards Sapphire and Steel or Blake's 7.

I think Xena: Warrior Princess had the saddest ending, when Xena dies, and Gabrielle wants to save her, but Xena won't let her...Gabrielle sails off in Xena's boat...

i watched INVASION EARTH a few months ago, for the first time ..... that had a sad ending!

Twin Peaks, I'm sure 'mah boy S.A. Dale Cooper had the worst ending. Along with Cowboy Bebop.

Chrno Crusade. No contest. The ending sucked hard. It was sad, ironic, and it just made you question why the hell you watched the show in the first place. It ruined the whole show for me.

the end to star trek enterprise was just horrible. It's like a kick in the teeth. Why did they have to do that?

DS9 was rather sad as well
As was Lexx

Alot of sitcoms pull the same move at the end of the series, you know what I mean, the empty room of the house, lights being switched off and sometimes, sometimes the disembodied voices of the characters.

Not BlackAdder Goes Forth.

It had them charging over the top of the trench and then ending with a meadow.

Yeah that was amazing, very moving.


Blackadder is a different class though, i was talking about the stereotypical sitcom ending.


It happened in Friends and the fresh prince and im sure many others that I cant recall right now,,

The wONDER yEARS WAS PRETTY SAD, when they tell you that Kev's dad died of a heart attack.


The last episode of Seinfeld was great, not sad though.
