What are the most depressing sitcom episodes ever? I'm looking for specific eps please, not a snarky blanket statement like "Every episode of (insert unfunny sitcom name here)." Also, I'm not talking about serious episodes (a/k/a Very Special Episodes), as those are usually trying to teach a lesson and rely more on gravity than pathos. I'm looking for tearjerker episodes of shows that are usually humorous. Thanks!
I'll start things off right:
Futurama: season 4, episode 7 - "Jurassic Bark" (the one about Fry's dog Seymour)

Full House. (seriously). Season 2, episode 18, "Goodbye Mr. Bear" (aired 3/24/89 - my ninth birthday, coincidentally). Now, stay with me here, the episode is about the middle daughter, Stephanie, who loses her stuffed bear that her (now deceased) mother gave to her. For a nine year old, the entire thing was harrowing.

Last episode of MASH of course
The Dr Who first season (reboot) "Father's Day" where Rose is with her father as he dies.
Last Episode of Roseanne (yeah it was crappy but still sorta sad) where we learn Dan has been dead the whole time and Roseanne is all alone.
And OH yeah third or fouth Jurassic Bark. What the hell, man???

I, too, came here to suggest Jurassic Bark (the cartoon geek in me is happy that that episode makes other people's Saddest Episode Ever list as well!). Since you're already familiar with that, though, I'll suggest the 'A My Name is Alex' episodes (it's a two-parter) from Family Ties. To be honest it's been a verrrry long time since I've seen it so I can't promise that it'll rip your guts out, but I still have strong memories of it making me cry every time I saw it when I was younger.

Final episode of MASH is what I first thought about as well. According to wikipedia, it's the "single most watched television broadcast in American history", which seems incredible but there it is. I believe that I watched the episode when it aired. I'm sure I saw it at some point back then. Unlike my brother-in-law, who apparently has the entire Simpsons cannon memorized, my memory for specific episodes of TV shows is not good, but I sure as hell remember that one.

I will quasi second Amethyst, Princess of Gemworld's comment about the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode "The Body." It truly is an unbearably sad episode of a show that is usually humorous but I definitely wouldn't call BtVS a sitcom, so, not sure if it 100% fits your criteria.

Good Times, "The Big Move," Parts 1 and 2. John Amos was being written out of the show, so his character was killed, which yanked the rug out from under the characters, as they were planning on finally getting out of the projects.
At the funeral and its aftermath, no one can understand why Florida, the mother, seems so upbeat. She tells her family that she's celebrating her husband's life, not mourning his death and they're OK with that. In the end, though, she's really been holding back all her emotions, which all pour out at once.

While not strictly a comedy, the last scene of the final episode of "St. Elsewhere", where it is strongly implied that the whole series existed solely in the imagination of Donald Westphall's autistic son Tommy, was incredibly poignant.

Chico and the Man, final episode with Freddie Prinze:
"In the last episode to star Prinze ("Ed Talks to God", taped several hours before the comedian committed suicide), there are many scenes in which Prinze appears to be "out of it". Specifically, when Ed's old army buddy is pretending to be God, speaking over a PA system in an effort to convince Ed to attend his own birthday party, Prinze sits beside the other actor on the couch, apparently not paying attention to what is going on around him. Then, in the final scene, when Ed reveals that he knew all along that his buddy and Chico were in on the "God" ruse together, Prinze picked up the knife beside the birthday cake and holds it to his own throat, inviting Ed to use it in revenge."
"Months later, NBC aired the "Ed Talks to God" episode, which proved to be an traumatic moment for fans, as Chico offers a knife to Ed so that Ed could exact his revenge against Chico."

The guy is recovering in the hospital (I think) when George Jefferson is introduced to him by a friend as the man who saved his life.

There's an episode of "Cheers" where Coach's daughter (played by Allyce Beasley) is engaged to a total jerk because she thinks she can't do any better. The scene where Coach tells her that she's beautiful, just like her mother, is so deeply touching that I still choke up just thinking about it.

NewsRadio, "Bill Moves On" -- it's the episode after Phil Hartman dies where they basically pay tribute to him. Apparently they all cried -- repeatedly -- while filming it.
This was the episode that I was going to recommend. It sounds like it would fall under the category of a "very special episode", but (from what I remember -- I could only bear to watch it once), it somehow still managed to fit the normal tone of the show. It was very well handled.

Wayne Knight appears as his guardian angel and shows him what life would have been like without Donna. Angel Wayne then offers to erase the pain of their break up, but at the cost of Eric losing all his happy memories of Donna. That flashback sequence at the very end gets me every time.

When Gloria had a miscarriage on the '70s television show All in the Family, viewers watched to see how the Bunkers would react. Edith hugged her daughter and tearfully expressed love and sorrow.
Archie found himself where men fear to tread. In his world, the words "pregnancy" and "miscarriage" were best left to women. Climbing the stairs to his daughter Gloria's room, the man who had just learned he wasn't going to be a grandpa struggled to find words.
He sat silent at the edge of Gloria's bed for a long time.
At last, she sheepishly asked her father, "Do you want to say you love me?"
Archie's eyes filled with tears.
"I love you, too," she said as she hugged him.
The camera panned to a shot of the living room where the panda bear Archie had brought home that day for his new grandchild sat in his chair. Cut. End of scene. Not a dry eye in the house.

Dr Greene had too many of these moments to count: his bathroom beating, his eventual passing, etc, but I'd be remiss if I didn't mention Season 6, episode 13: "Be Still My Heart". As the ER staff enjoy a Valentine's Day party at Admit, Carter and Lucy Knight are brutally stabbed by a schizophrenic patient within earshot of the party. The noise of the attack is completely drowned out and goes unnoticed by anyone. The moment when Carter realizes Lucy is also bleeding out not ten feet away from him as the loud music continues to play is one of the most shocking, breathtaking moments I've ever seen on TV.

Consider checking out the entire third season of Adult Swim's Moral Orel (or better yet, starting with the two-part finale of Season 2 and going from there). There's a surprising amount of pain in there, (usually) handled with more human decency than I would have expected in an Adult Swim show - if it helps explain the tone at all, a lot of episodes pull in songs from The Mountain Goats' "Tallahassee" album and do so in a way that is incredibly apt.

I keep coming back to this thread for some reason.
"WKRP in Cincinnatti" had a couple of really good ones. I remember vividly when a big corporate sponsor was against WKRP playing certain songs, including John Lennon's "Imagine," and Mr. Carlson telling them--so gently--to go to hell. He said something along the lines of "The song doesn't say there is no religion. It says to imagine."
Another great one was when Venus Flytrap gives himself two minutes to explain atomic structure to a budding gangbanger . . . using gang imagery and iconography.

The West Wing is full of these tear-jerker moments for me, but especially Two Cathedrals, the second season finale. In particular, the scene where President Bartlet is alone in a church, yelling at God in Latin because of his anger and grief, always resonates with me and I'm not even religious.

Satisfaction is an Australian drama about a high-class brothel and the people that work in it. It's not normally tear-jerky, but the sudden murder of Tippi, a lovable hippie who arguably had the most interesting storylines and dialogue, made me howl. It wasn't the first death in the series, but it was totally unexpected (they did it because the actress wanted to leave, but there were so many other ways they could have done it!), left a lot of plotlines hanging, and basically meant the death of one of the show's biggest charms. Of all the people to die, they went and killed the most likeable character.

You know, I'm kind of surprised Lisa's Substitute hasn't been mentioned yet.
I was going to suggest this as well. I was at a friend's house and she had never seen the Simpsons, had no interest, etc. I convinced her to give it a try and since it was on like eight times a day in syndication at that point, we watched that evening and Lisa's Substitute was the episode.
My friend (who perhaps could identify with Lisa all too well in many ways), turned to me as asked why I would make her watch that. She never watched the Simpsons again.
That E.R. episode mentioned above really fits too. Although E.R. was never a sitcom the entire Carter/Lucy Knight relationship was played for huge laughs from day one. They had a fantastic, funny dynamic.
That episode freaked me out like no TV/movie before or since. I was uneasy when I walked the dog at night or alone in the apartment for weeks. Whenever I heard that song I had flashbacks.

The final episode - particularly the last scene - of The Wonder Years kills me every time. The family is reunited for the 4th of July and Older Kevin narrates what will happen to the family in the intervening years (between that 4th and the twenty years hence he's narrating from) - Winnie had married someone else, Paul had left town, his sister had given birth, his mother got a great job and his father passed away.
I grew up watching that show - I was basically the same age as Kevin every season, so although he lived in the 60s and I lived in the 80s, we had similar experiences at the same time. Then the ending basically says growing up happens to everyone, things aren't going to work out like you plan, but life goes on. It's just so honest and moving and eye-opening for someone at that age.

So glad this thread is still open.
The Sister Sister episode Father's Day:
"In the sixth season episode Father's Day, the twins meet their biological father and learn he was white. He never married their mother because interracial marriage was very controversial at the time, and in his job as a photographer he traveled a lot. When the girls' mother died, he was not allowed to see them because he couldn't prove he was their father. When he searched for twins, he never found them because they had been separately adopted."
It was pretty shocking and tragic, considering the light hearted nature of the rest of the show. It affected me pretty deeply as a teenager.
