I beg your pardon?

It's a running joke on both Ghosts series. Being assumed to heaven is referred to...that.

Surely you mean “moved on”?

Come on, I set you up perfectly for that joke!

"Mister Worf...fire."

The #1 by an absolute country mile, because not only was it a fantastic episode, but it was also widely reported that Patrick Stewart may not renew his contract and we'd have to wait all summer to find out if Picard was being killed off or not.

Reboot's fourth season was two tv movies. However, it was originally supposed to be 3. The series ends with the reveal that Megatron is alive and back in mainframe with new powers. He announces to the city that he had considered sparing it for a time, but now he was going on the hunt. Every fan badly wanted to see the follow up.

This was an awesome one.

The best part is that you absolutely did not see it coming.

Jericho season 1's cliffhanger ending was memorable for the wrong reasons.

If you're not familiar, the series starts with nuclear bombs going off in the major cities. The show takes place in a small Kansas town as they try to figure out whats going on, maintaining order, etc.

The season 1 cliffhanger ends with a big standoff erupting in a shootout and it cuts to black while you hear the shots. THEN IT WAS CANCELLED.


It was revived eventually, but ending like that would have just been the worst thing in the world.

Breaking Bad was always solid with these, but the end of season 5A might be their very best.

Outside of one vague reference, I'm shocked none of you have mentioned Dallas' "Who shot JR"

The O.C. had a couple.... Marissa ODing in Tijuana during Season 1. The gang finding her at the end of an episode and then there was a break in the show (World Series maybe? I don't remember). Then the Season 2 finale when Marissa shot Tre. Sorry, I have a thing for those Teen Angst shows.

Most of us are more familiar with the Who Shot Mr. Burns version. I was aware of the Dallas thing but it was 1980. I was -3 at that point. However, I remember Who Shot Mr. Burns was huge in the schoolyard.

Up until Hey Arnold: The Jungle Movie, The Journal was one of the biggest cliffhangers in Cartoon History

Arnold's Parents went to a Mysterious Island to help an ancient tribe get cured of a sickness and never returned, and at the end of the episode, Arnold finds a map in their Journal showing exactly where they were going

Hey Arnold fans waited over a decade after the original movie concept was scrapped, and were rewarded with thankfully a very satisfying conclusion to Hey Arnold as a whole as is stands right now.

Probably because the pay-off was cheap and cowardly.

Had The Jungle Movie popped a decent rating, it was going to lead to a sixth season...and in some ways, it still has something of a cliffhanger as Helga still doesn't treat Arnold any different from how she used to even though they're together now. That was intentional as the next phase of the series was for Helga to hide her relationship with Arnold from the rest of the school. This was eventually resolved in an Instagram story Craig illustrated during the pandemic, with Arnold and Helga trying to date despite the lockdown and everyone eventually finds out.

For the super fans  TJM is less a conclusion and just a major turning point in the ongoing story, there's still The Patakis spin-off and whatever Craig had planned after that.#

With Arnold appearing in the Paramount superbowl ad...and getting to play a major part in it...who knows what the future holds.

Well, can’t say I can solve this mystery. Can you?

Feels like most under 35 have no clue what that was.

What about who is Earl Jr's dad cliffhanger on My Name is Earl?
