Do you find yourself weeping in front of the television? I do. Here's my list of my biggest criers of the year. (A few spoilers ahead.)
The seven instances of my crying below from television are symbolic of a catalog that would probably go to 700 at least. But in order to seem rational, I'm cutting myself off. Tell me your criers in the comments section!
Every Second of "Parenthood"
NBC
If I listed the total number of times Parenthood made me cry in 2012, you would call the police. Like, I wouldn't want to see that list either. Going into this season, I certainly didn't think the show could make me cry more than it had for its first three seasons, but Season 4 has brought us the Kristina breast cancer storyline, and oh lord – mess! Monica Potter has been stunning from diagnosis through her near-death infection during the Christmas episode. As The Huffington Post's TV critic, Maureen Ryan, recently wrote in her column, "Good God, the woman has slain me during every single episode this season." Are Parenthood creator Jason Katims and his writing staff emotional assassins trying to cry us to death? Possibly.
I've chosen two Kristina-related scenes out of the one billion options that come to mind.
