Yep. I didn't even try not to cry. I would sit down and stick in an episode and yes with the funny and cute and then suddenly I'd just be openly sobbing and just...WHAT? I decided I probably needed it and maybe it was cathartic to cry at the tv (I was going through some rough real-life stuff, so it was easier to cry at tv characters).
The funny and touching and sad is all woven together very effectively.
Yes! I think they might be the masters at it. And I love them for it.
(though I did have a funny experience with Scrubs when I was back living at home. I was trying to tell my mom how awesome it was and showing her random episodes.
Me: *sticks in another episode* Characters: *talk about sex* Mom: Why is this show all about sex? Me: It's not. Really not a main point at all. It must just be this episode. *sticks in another episode* Characters: *talk about sex* Me: *sticks in ANOTHER episode* Characters: *talk about sex* Mom: *raises eyebrow* Me: I SWEAR I didn't even process that they talk about sex often at all. I don't know! *flails*
