[QUOTE="darkshadows38, post: 331350, member: 19"] i think it did hurt it we all know how good the who Shot JR ? storyline was and how big it was though i was only almost 2 years old when that cliffhanger did Originally air. so i don't remember anything from that year at all let alone a tv show. anyways, the reason i say it hurt it was than they started to try to outdo that episode and while yes some of them cliffhangers are memorable such as the fire for example. but though we had some pretty strong cliff hangers for quite awhile than they i think hurt the show because the fans expected a cliffhanger as well. i think tv shows in itself has been trying to have a cliffhanger as big as the Who Shot JR? that happened in summer of (1980) but it's never been as big or will it ever be in tv history there's been a lot of good ones and with today's shows it's awful that damn near all of them have them i f.. hate them with a passion and my reason is really simple, if you know the show is going to be renewed that's one thing but when you do a cliffhanger than cancel the show you never get that resolve. Twin Peaks as i always use as a good example though we did get a resolve to that one nearly 20 some years later. showrunners don't always know if they are going to be renewed or not. Legend's one of the Arrow verse shows was cancelled on a huge cliffhanger and that was made in due haste as the showrunner thought they had a chance on coming back they have since regretted doing that cliffhanger. but that's my opinion anyways [/QUOTE]
