I don't know about the rest of you but I get so emotional when I watch extreme makeover the home edition on tv. Every single episode I am in tears of joy. I also got emotional when they released all those trapped minors. I wonder if other people get affected like that.

hi there! Just like you, I also felt like that, I don't know why but one thing is sure, I get so emotional when I watch movie like for example the notebook and the last song. Those movies touches my heart. I could really feel the emotion in there. I think, being an emotional is normal because that's our only existence, to be emotional.

i agree with you that being emotional is normal but when its not real, like most movies or tv it surprises me that something we know is not real can cause us to get all teary eyed. The people doing the acting probably don't get all emotional but the viewers do.

You are not the only one. I hate to admit it, but I do get teary and emotional when I watch some shows. The most recent one was "Undercover Boss." The episode was the one with the CEO of the Great Bear Lodge. . . it just got me all teary. How about this for weird, but sometimes commercials tug at my hear too.

I am glad you all can identify with me. The commercials that make me sad are the animal abuse ones. I cannot watch them, they make me really sad.

Of course. Some of those crime dramas that have really sad or dramatic endings get to me, like Law & Order SVU. I don't necessarily start crying, but they can be REALLY sad. It's a sign of good directing, in my opinion!

Yeah good directing and good acting to bring about emotion.

I never watch the show so I don't know (not even aired in my country). However, there's some show about makeovers as well produced by local TV. I did watch but I don't feel anything much. But I do feel touch if I watch any show with kids' scene in it. Some even really brought tears to my eyes. It's embarrassing if anyone saw me.

I am certainly one of those people who gets emotional when they watch TV. if the scene is sad or tears at your heart, I can not help the tears. Ecen if i try to hide it, i can't stop the emotions that might come.

Sometimes when I watch undercover boss the employees always seem to have sad stories and it is very sad. Even though people say it is scripted but if it isn't scripted then yeah it is very sad.
