Pumps' Perplexities

The "cliffhanger" was a product of the old movie chapters or
serials which were shown during the 30's and 40's....They
were designed to get you back into the theater the following
week to see the story continue....To some extent the present
day TV Soap Opera does the same...."Tune in tomorrow."

The real big important "cliffhangers" are still used at the end
of a TV season when the last episode has you "hanging" until
the series returns in September or October...

Unfortunately a lot of people are now left "hanging" forever
because the TV series is canceled and no longer in production...
In some instances a one or two hour series finale may be
forthcoming but do not hold your breath...

would like to have their hands around some TV producer's
neck instead of "clutching to a cliff"....Pumps
