Reply to comment by the_original_Retro in What show pioneered the cliff hanger ending? by GrumpigPlays

Hate to one-up you but it goes back before radio, too. Serial novels, published in newspapers and magazines, have been doing episodic cliffhangers since at least Dumas and Dickens' time.

Agreed, with the caveat that I was being adhering to OP's wording.

Their question was what "show" pioneered the cliff-hanger ending, so I took my answer from that context.
