I Hate Cliffhangers

In my office we were talking about Cliff hangers, and how some of them ruined our childhood. One of the biggest Cliff hangers I had when I was a kid was ReBoot. It was one of my favourite childhood shows about the life of a computer when it plays video games... and how the Player is always the bad guy.

Wait... That crazy raccoon was a human player? WTF who would want to play him!

biggest Cliffhanger in my life was Reboot

Anywho this show ended off with the worst ending EVER. It had the protagonist female almost marrying Megabyte... HA I finally get it... anyways, the show ended with the protagonist Bob with the whole society scared saying he's out in the world... and that's the end. If you would like to see the episode, Click on the image with ReBoot on it.






Now this made me think, what other shows were left on a cliffhanger?
See a cliffhanger is made when a TV show wants to rake in more cash, or desperate for a fan base to revolt against the network to keep these shows alive.
Great examples would be Walking Dead, Lost, or even Pokemon. Well not really... but still.
Well this makes you think, how does Power Rangers keep getting renewed :/

Ok moving from that point, movies that have done cliff hangers before to generate revenue were:
[According to Screened ]
- Alien Vs. Predator [Alien comes out of the body of a Predator]
- The Dark Knight Rises [Nightwing's arrival?]
- Cloverfield... well that was a bad ending
- Dragonball Evolution... GOD I HOPE NOT
- Piranha 3D
- Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest... God that was a piss off.
- Resident Evil Extinction... that ending confused me

... Ok personally these aren't the best cliff hangers I would think of...

But here are some TV show ones you may know!

- Alf the Alien: The ending ends with Alf being disected by the government... Apparently it tramatized so many kids they had to make a TV movie special to help kids fall asleep again.

- Little House on the Prarie... did not know they had an ending...

Anywho apparently the whole place burns down and bunnies live in their house... What?

- Finally... Dinosaurs a show everyone should have seen as a kid...
Ended with them all dying Q_Q . . .

Anywho after all this talk we concluded, to those authors who finished a story or at least made an effort to put some closure on some of their works... thank you.

Like Jim Davis and Garfield:

Or even my favourite, Calvin and Hobbes ending

So should producers really end a successful... or none successful show on a cliffhanger to live longer? Personally I don't think so, but I haven't invested my money into these productions, but I really would love to see shows give a proper ending than making it last 3 different movies *ahem* HOBBIT.

Putting a cliff hanger to make people suffer is just horrible. ReBoot, man I had nightmares when I was a kid... or when I was 14 I don't know its been a while. I saw a website where they were trying to create a petition to create closure... but in this age can we really rely on fan support to bring an old franchise back to life?

Arrested Development!

If you have any other tragic cliffhangers I didn't name [I'm sure there were tons... even I can't remember], comment below and I'll add it in a new blog, just right now I'm limited in research tools... andddddd.... I should really get back to work...
