I guess I end the year on a morbid note.
I imagine there are many I've left off and I do understand it's very American-centric, the reality is I just watch more shows from there.
Rules I imposed on myself for this list - I have decided to not include any characters that were brought back to life (including The Doctor from DW), only one person per show and I've decided to not include any ones where the actor died which meant killing the character off (which are of course sad because the cast are mourning for them and even us as the viewer we are affected by the loss of life). Also of course beware that there is spoilers here.
1. Angel - Wesley Wyndham Pryce
2. Battlestar Galactica - Dee
The reimagining of BSG killed off a lot it's characters with only a few of it's supporting characters making it to the finale, many of them where sad but it was harder to find a sadder one then Dee (Kandyse McClure).
Galactica finally find Earth but it's turns out nothing like they was hoping for, just a destroyed mess. Later back on the ship, Dee goes on a date with her estranged husband Lee Adama, and comes back to her shared quarters with Felix and tells her she is glowing and she sings to herself seemingly having some hope, but then she then pulls out a gun and shoots herself in the head.
Dee's death was sudden and shocking

3. Buffy The Vampire Slayer - Joyce Summers
Buffy The Vampire Slayer as seen many characters die but what most of them tend to have in common is with it being a supernatural show is that they often have a supernatural edge to them, so that's what made Joyce Summers - Buffy's Mother - so shocking, it wasn't a vampire or demon it was a brain hemorrhage
4. ER - Dr. Mark Greene
His last episode "On The Beach"
5. Game Of Thrones - Eddard Stark
Many, many characters of died on Game Of Thrones - some beloved, some that you couldn't wait to get what was coming to them.
6. Homicide: Life On The Street - Crosetti
Crosetti kills himself rather then return to work at Homicide+
7. How I Met Your Mother - Marvin Errickson
You are the viewer are relieved when Marvin realizes he accidentally pocket dialled Marshall and he of the last things he says his that he loves him.
8. Lost - Charlie Pace
Lost was another show that wasn't afraid to kill off characters and Charlie Pace's death actually had some stiff competition.

9. MASH - Lt. Colonel Henry Blake
