I don't know why, but I left animated out of it, though Kanan's death in Rebels, Satine's death in Clone Wars. Even Jessie's death in the last episode were all emotional.
Fry's dogs death in Futurama absolutely gutted me as he waited for a master that was never coming home.

a few notable deaths (such as Maude Flanders) in the Simpsons over the years, I guess the poignant one that comes to mind is Bleeding Gums Murphy

This is one of the saddest scenes ever made. I had blocked it from my memory.

Archie Bunker was a pretty unabashed racist in a time in American history when sadly casual racism was acceptable.
I remember there was one episode in Archie Bunkers place where he was having a conversation after hours in his bar, I can't remember who, and he came to realize that he had been taught racism by his father and his father before him and he never had or took a chance to change. It was a really powerful scene. Or it could be my imagination that I saw it.

Tara's death on Sons of Anarchy still holds up as one of the most horrifying things I've ever watched on TV. It's just so incredibly violent and brutal.

My wife was never really a cartoon watcher but I eventually got her into Bob's Burgers, American Dad and Futurama. I'll never forget when we got to this episode - as it ended she just looked at me with tears in her eyes and a look of disbelief. She eventually muttered something about '#### this show' and got up and walked away. She was pretty upset about it for days. Such a tough and touching episode for any dog lover.
Back on track, if you haven't watched The Morning Show on Apple TV+, then I'll spoiler this:
Spoiler!
Hannah's death hit us pretty hard for some reason. Very real and surprising.

I wonder about shows like this, and the fact that they will never be made again in today's climate. It was a comedy, with a touch of family drama and social commentary, really a template of what a lot of comedy became after it.
The main character had a fatal flaw in that he was a racist and a bigot, but the stature of man that he was beneath that, was such that people forgave him, and stuck with him. Over the entire arc of the show, it was a touching story about redeeming someone who today would be written off, and as much about the people who put in the time to educate Archie, as about Archie himself.
(That's not even taking into consideration the amazing character that Edith was.)
All in the Family is probably in the process of being banned right now.

Dawson's decided to drop out of USC's prestigious film school for good, and stay in Boston so he can basically hang out with his friends and hopefully get to see Joey's boobs for the first time in their entire lives. (I'd like to remind you here that USC film school was supposedly Dawson's dream.) He takes the bus home to Capeside to break the news to his parents, and they are obviously pissed. How much did they pay for Dawson's first semester at USC, which he ditched in OCTOBER? Yes, it's the second month of the school year and Dawson's already bailed. He's so certain this is the right move for him, refusing to listen to poor Mitch, while Gail admits she doesn't exactly hate the idea of Dawson being only a couple of hours away instead of across the country. He and Mitch fight and fight and fight, but Dawson sticks to his pretty stupid guns, and then before Dawson gets on the bus back to Boston, Mitch tells him he's disappointed in him, which is pretty harsh, but that he'll always, always love his son. I'm glad he said that, because the episode ends TERRIBLY. Mitch is getting ice cream in the middle of the night, and jamming out to the car radio, when his ice cream scoop falls off his cone. He leans down to retrieve the scoop, and the lights of an oncoming truck flood his car, before the episode ominously fades to black.
