And because it's so true...

Forgive me for double-posting, but you can't talk cliffhangers without this guy, so I have no choice.

After all, resistance is futile.  Article is still here.
 


If you need it, there's an episode summary, with air dates and some wicked anti-spoiler devices(damn straight!) here!

Oh man! That was one looooooong summer right there. I didn't hear any rumors/spoilers at the time, being that my friends and I had no idea what the internet was, ha ha.

Putting out fake spoilers like that, thought? Would ruin it for us spoiler-lovers. So in trying to not ruin their idea of how things should be experienced, they're ruining ours! That just seems mean. Just sayin' . . . :-P

Not sure I agree with the rest of the list. Angel in particular had a couple better cliffhangers than the one they chose. And so did Lost.

I think putting out fake spoilers is the greatest idea ever, and if I ran a television show, you can bet I'd do it if I could. Since I'm in a mood tonight, I'll give my frank opinion. Actually, I won't. I have not a single nice thing to say about anyone who spreads spoilers (not even one charitable thought), so I'll stop here.

Oh, and in 1990, no one knew what the internet was.

As for the list, no one will ever agree with everything, but it does say that they only allowed one cliffhanger per show, and it specifically mentions that they did that so that Angel wouldn't be in every slot. Having never seen Angel, I can't speak to that.
