What i gathered from all the responses is that Dallas probably was the first show for cliff hangers to make a major impact on the majority of tv show watchers.
Then I’m pretty sure the show Lost is was plunged it into absolutely everything afterwords. Someone mentioned how much people would talk about the Lost cliffhangers while it was airing and with how popular it was I can see it being what made in so mainstream
True I completely forgot about lost, I think that might actually the be the correct answer. I wasn’t necessarily saying that tv invented cliff hangers, I was just trying to figure out what popularized them. Lost is probably what did it do good intuition.
