I think I just saw the saddest thing I have ever seen on TV. I was channel-surfing during "Dirty Jobs," fantasizing about doing inappropriate things to Mike Rowe in a number of dirty situations as usual, and I flipped onto Animal Planet. They've been showing Steve Irwin stuff all day; on this show his old dog Sue was ill (he named his daughter partially after her), and a vet was talking about painkillers and whatnot. Steve was sitting on the floor next to her as she came out of sedation, it looked like, and she started to wag her tail and lick his hand the second she saw him. Then Bindi came over and cuddled up to Steve, and he was explaining to her that Suey was very old and they were doing everything they could to make her comfortable.

And then I don't know what happened, because I turned it off before I started sobbing. Each of the factors in that little scene individually is sadness-inducing, but taken altogether, I just couldn't even watch it.

Now I'm watching S1 Grey's, the one with the tumor lady and the Parkinsons dad, because it's not like that'll make me cry or anything. God, this show used to be good.
Mood:: 'sad' sad

I miss the good Grey's!!

(I've been staying away from Animal Planet for that very reason today. That and I can't handle the Sarah McLachlan "Angel" ASPCA commercial.)

I'm rewatching S2, and it's so depressing. I was almost always in tears at the end of an episode, rather than shaking my head in disgust like I did through much of S3.

(Yeah, there's always a good chance that something on AP will make me cry, but let's count up the triggers here: 1. Pets dying 2. Steve Irwin's death 3. Father-daughter relationships...)

I still cry over Denny...

(Ahh, yes, the three triggers of AP. I don't watch it unless I need a good cry.)
