Are Cliff Hangers a necessary evil?

You watch a show all year/season, it gets exciting and you’re not exactly sure where it’s going to take you or how it’s going to end, but you know you’re going to be left hanging. Even though you know it’s coming, you still get excited and then fall for it! Then you have to wait for the summer to end and fall to arrive so you can see what’s coming next.

Remember when they would have summer seasons, to keep you occupied. Sometimes, the station will play the last few episodes before the new season returns.

We set our internal clocks to these shows, we set the DVR to record and get excited when it goes off to remind us.

So, while we wait for the next season to start, we find something else to watch, maybe a summer mini series, sort of fill the void, until there is a cliff hanger on the summer series.

Tonight, we watched the series finale of Grimm and the ending was perfect, said it all…
The last thing on the screen was “To be Continued…C’mon, you knew that was coming!”
