The Fresh Prince of Bel Air
When Will’s father leaves him for a second time, and he asks Uncle Phil why his dad doesn’t love him. “How come he don’t want me?” When Will asks this question with tears welling up in his eyes, I am furious at Will’s father and am sobbing hysterically. If computers were around then, maybe Will could have found some comfort with online counseling but for now, a hug from Uncle Phil will do.
Dawson’s Creek
Again, another horribly crushing series finale. We flash forward five years and see that Jen is a mom! Great, right? NO. Jen dies because of undiagnosed heart condition and leaves behind a heart wrenching video to her daughter before she dies. That is just cruel.
