Which tv shows do people remember that had cliff-hanger episodes i.e. season finales questions that were unresolved because the show was later canceled.
Two shows that I remember were "Models Inc" which had a shooting at a wedding and "Popular" which was just canceled that had someone being run over. Any more shows that drove you crazy because something was not resolved? |
Benson (one of my favorite 80s sitcoms): Lt. Gov Benson ran against incumbent Gov. Gatling. We never found out who won.
|
Now and Again.
Apparently, The Fugitive (2000-2001), as it's been cancelled. |
The Lone Gunmen
Earth 2 SeaQuest 2032 (cancelled in the middle of the 3rd season, just as they took a big plot twist: killing one crew member, introducing another, and introducing a new evil enemy nation). |
HBO's SPAWN
The brought in ANGELA then the series died.... :mad: |
ALF! If I remember right, ALF was surrounded and about to get captured by government agents. It got cancelled after that episode, so there wasn't a followup.

"tour of duty" in a way. It just kind of ended, but with the feeling that they were planning on at least one more season
|
I was going to say ALF too, just for kicks :) Actually the ALF thing got Finsihed up. About 2 or 3 years later. A two hour episode. I never knew about it until a few years ago though. They air it on PAX or Family every once in a while... I think it had Peter Scolari in it, or the guy from Son of the beach... Involves wrapping up the millitary plot... You might be abel to catch it on. i remember it not being watchable though...

Twin Peaks
Soap |
Twin Peaks
I really wanted to find out what happened to Agent Cooper who was stuck in the Black Lodge and was replaced by his evil doppelganger ("How's Annie?") Why didn't they try and wrap this up in Fire:Walk with Me! My So-Called Life Left Angela stranded between Jordan Catalano and Brian Krakow. The Lone Gunmen Argh! |

I remember the ALF cliffhanger. What was the ultimate resolution? Did the original cast return for the movie? If they didn't, I wonder if they were killed
Sorry. Grim BothanSpy |
Another big vote for TWIN PEAKS!
Oh yeah, and here's another (though arguably not a cliffhanger)--I got six words for ya: "Dr. Sam Beckett never returned home." Yeah...my ass... |

Crime Story. The last I remember Ray Luca and Detective Torrello were fighting aboard a plane that was about to crash.

Why didn't they try and wrap this up in Fire:Walk with Me! That would have been very interesting to see and would have made for a fascinating third season. |

Well, there are some of us who feel that FWWM sort of DID wrap things up. There are enough hints in the film and in Cooper's dreams throughout the series to suggest that he never escapes from the Lodge. He went in with imperfect courage, failed to save himself, end of story. It's a tragic, depressing ending, yes, but a kind of ending nevertheless. I don't buy it--David Lynch has stated multiple times that he always intended to make two films, a prequel (FWWM) and a sequel bookending the TV series, and that the second film would wrap everything up the way he wanted. Due to the severely poor box office returns for FWWM, he was never able to realize his vision in its entirety, which is a crying shame. I don't fault you for trying to find your own sense of closure for the series, but to me, the ending of TWIN PEAKS will always seem like an open wound... |

oh, in retrospect, I guess I wish I had left that one alone. Anything I have imagined in the last 20 years sounds a hell of a lot more interesting than that.

I remember the ALF cliffhanger. What was the ultimate resolution? ...or is my memory just confused? |
Originally posted by Jadzia I guess instead of knowing if he got out or what, I really wanted to see what kind of havoc that the "Bad Dale" wreaked in the outside world. |
Ok If David Lynch wanted to make another Twin Peaks movie I am sure he could he has clout as an artist filmmaker and producer. Although I wonder why his failed ABC series Mullhullond Drive ended up as an entry at Cannes this year.
What about LUCY BUTLER in the brilliant Millennium I wanted some kind of finale with her character. In my opinion this series just needed one more season to wrap up and was robbed of that by FOX execs. |
