I understand their passings are heartwrenching, but tear jerker pages are not supposed to have meta examples and every actor dies eventually. Sorry.

* In ''Rescue From Gilligan's Island,'' when the parade held in their honor in Los Angeles ends, the genuine sadness in their faces when they realize they are now having to go their separate ways after 15 years together is simply heartbreaking to watch. This moment is made even more tear-jerking when you see them all hugging each other goodbye.

* While a lot of the failed rescue attempts could qualify, "[[ChristmasEpisode Birds Gotta Fly, Fish Gotta Talk]]" is arguably the most depressing. Amid reports they've been found, the castaways get their hopes up that they'll be back home and with their loved ones in time for Christmas, but [[YankTheDogsChain it's actually a different group that get rescued]]. The fact that it took 11 years for this other group to get rescued makes it sting for our group even more.
