Today, I want to know when was the last time that a movie made you cry while watching it in a theater.
Pop Culture Theme Time is a feature where I put a question to you to see what you think about a particular theme. I might later revisit the theme for a future Drawing Crazy Patterns or Top Five.
Obviously, sitcoms in general are about humor and not so much drama. However, at the same time, they often DO have tearjerking moments. So I’m curious as to what was the last time that a sitcom made you tear up. I don’t typically get that emotional at sitcoms, but the last time I can recall tearing up a bit was at the great ending of the Ghosts episode, “Pete’s Wife.”
I won’t spoil the moment, so go check it out!
That’s my pick! How about you folks?

I don’t know the last time, but I can tell you the first time with two words,
Henry Blake.
The last time for me was during the “Will and Grace” revival. Jack’s gay grandson is sent to a conversion camp to “fix” him. Jack goes to the camp to see him and tell him “This place can’t fix you, because you aren’t broken.” I was balling my eyes out then and now.
Does Wednesday count as a sitcom? Because that was just last week I watched it (spoiler alert – it was the hug that did me in).
Most tears definitely belongs to the last season of Chuck though, both times I watched the series.
The episode of The Office where Michael leaves. Particularly the part where Jim and Michael schedule lunch for the next day, both knowing it won’t happen.
Reservation Dogs when Elora found Daniel.
When the crown starts singing the Roy Kent sonmg after he buggers up his knee.
Scrubs.
“Where do you think we are?”
