cliffhangers

Am I the only one that's getting tired of all the season finales on TV that just leave you hanging? Every show does it now. It was cool when they did it every once in a while, but it's getting ridiculous. It seems that when one show does it and it works well, everyone else jumps on the bandwagon. Story lines don't get wrapped up, they just keep them going and going and going. Come on now. Come up with some new material instead of trying to stretch one flimsy story line out forever. Creativity is severly lacking. They come up with a good idea that grabs your attention and keeps you interest for a while and then they milk it for all it's worth and then keep it going for weeks upon weeks after it's outlived it's usefulness. It wouldn't be that bad if a few shows did it, but does every damn show have to do the same thing?

Unfortunately that's how they keep people coming back to watch. If they ran every story line out before the next season, not nearly as many people would come back to watch. Just part of business, I guess.

Which shows in particular are you speaking of? There's dramas like Lost, that do that, but there's shows like 24 where the story wraps up in the season finale. Then there's shows like House, that change each week.

Yeah, there are some shows that wrap up story lines and/or contain a new plot each week. I'm talking about shows like Lost, Prison Break, Stargate, Smallville, Surface...sorry, I can't think right now. I like the shows, but they start to get old after a while.
