Overview

Drama

Cliffhangers is an American drama series that debuted on February 27, 1979 on NBC. Each hour-long episode was divided into three 20-minute segments : Stop Susan Williams, The Secret Empire and The Curse of Dracula. The show aimed to revive the classic movie serial format but was canceled after just ten episodes due to low ratings. To add to the "in-progress" feeling of the proceedings, all three series were started with different chapter numbers (although this was the first broadcast for all of them): "Stop Susan Williams" began at Chapter II, "The Secret Empire" started with Chapter III, and "The Curse of Dracula" with Chapter VI.

I was a young child when I saw this show and it was one of the best shows I ever watched. For years I tried to find the name of the show and people thought I was crazy when I asked if they remembered this show.

I Remember Watching This As A Kid! I Wish I Could Watch The Full Series..

I loved this show back in the day when I was young. Especially "Dracula, 79" and "Stop Susan Williams". I fell totaly in love with Susan Anton when i saw "Stop Susan Williams". I even went out and bought a pin-up poster of her.
