I loved several of those shows. Buffy had one of the best episodes dealing with death - when Joyce Summers died- my, it FELT real. It hit me hard every time I watched it, and I watched it several times. ome of the Twilight Zone episodes too -not just weird, other-worldy stuff (which I love) but honest to goodness life and death and what’s it all about? The Twilight Zone episode when the man goes back to his hometown, literally, in time and place, and the poignancy of the fact that it is all gone- the happiness and the wonder. Youth and joy. Gone. Powerful stuff. I could go on and on about other shows, but one epidsode I saw once- a Honeymooners CVhristmas show hit me hard too.
Two more Twilight ZOnes- the one where the old man goes hunting with his dog, and they both die and go to heaven... and the one where the old teacher sees the ghosts of all the boys he taught- some heroes in war... Both beautiful examples of the best TV can be, IMO.
