In real life, few of us would ever root for anyone to die. When watching TV, it's a completely different story. Knowing it's all just pretend allows us to grow deeply invested in characters, no matter how crazy their adventures get. If the stories are told skillfully enough, sometimes it can feel good to watch a bad guy get what's coming to him. These are moments we cheered at the screen while seeing despicable TV characters bite the dust.
