Cliffhangers was a short-lived TV show that aired in 1979 on NBC. It featured three segments that aped the format of cliffhanger serials, which were
* ''Stop Susan Williams'' -- a female reporter investigates the murder of her brother and becomes involved in an international conspiracy
* ''The Secret Empire'' -- A hybrid Western/sci-fi story, heavily inspired by ''T[[The Phantom Empire]]''
* ''The Curse of Dracula'' -- [[Dracula]] comes back as a modern-day college teacher
 
The series all started [[In MediaMedias Res]] with chapters greater than 1 that even continued from nonexistent cliffhanger endings from the "previous episode". OnltOnly ''The Curse of Dracula'' ended in the USA, although international broadcasts and [[Compilation Movie]]s end all three series. They generally aired one segment of each per week. It was intended that serials would be replaced by new serials or new stories in old serials once they had ended, but the show didn't last that long.
