Falcon Crest had the best cliffhangers always. Seasons 2, 3, 5 and then most especially 6 and 7 were the best ever. Loved Falcon Crest and still do to this day, and I’m so happy to see it again on IMDB Tv!

I'm assuming this is most watched at time of airing, and if so Dallas didn't gain the major viewership numbers till after the J.R. got shot. Being as the following season averaged the most viewers that year I believe. Makes sense

Great vid..i,too as a child,loved these supersoaps..I think the only one that followed in the 90s with great cliffhangers was Melrose Place and also the one,more recently, that a had a lot of glitz and class act was Revenge with the fab Madeline Stowe..Madeline was very much like the 80s super bitches in divine gowns..

Me too Nicole! It was a theme that composer John Parker wrote for the Sue Ellen character in her last season. It was jazzy and classy, and luckily better than the one she had in the first seasons (you can hear it in the beginning of this scene: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gKqokqSIvJOXYZs.html ). I found this one cringeworthy...

@supersoaps
@supersoaps 5 жыл бұрын
Travis, I was surprised too, because it´s one of my least favorite cliffhangers. This happened because none of the other big soaps was established as "competition" for "Dallas", though Alexis already was causing trouble that season.

I think a large part of why the Season 4 cliffhanger with Cliff rated so highly was because most viewers tuned in waiting to see what the jaw dropping moment would actually be since the previous two years had ended with jaw dropping moments. By the time the end credits had rolled, those 28 million viewers had already been recorded. Even if they were disappointed by what they'd just seen, there were still 28 million of them. Likewise, I believe the previous year's finale ended Number One because viewers were tuning in to see what the producers would come up with to match the hype of Who Shot JR? Great channel by the way 😉

Let me tell you how much I adore your channel. What great memories from all of the soaps I watched in the 80s. The most famous was Who Shot JR back in 1980 remember there was no social media, internet or cell phones. It was a phenomenon. The most shocking cliffhanger for me, the one we talked about all summer was Dynasty The Royal Wedding aka The Moldavin Massacre. It was a stunning act of violence. That other daytime soaps and many night time dramas have copied over the years. I was 19 years old in 1983. Sadly we live in a world where acts of violence are no longer just on television programs....

Clarence you are much too kind. Thank Warner and KZfaq too because they haven´t "forbidden" my videos (only a couple). I agree with you about the violence, sad to say it happens in every country and time of the year, and every day. I´m (almost) your age (;)) and here in Spain we lived all that with years of delay, from Who Shot JR (2 years and 2 more years to watch "who did it"), to the Moldavia massacre which, believe it or not, was aired here as a daytime soap in morning schedule. Keep tuned in for more videos!!!

It´s based on the Nielsen ratings. Season 4 attracted more viewers because the Who Shot JR phenomenon got many more people to watch the show religiously. Of course, "Who Done It" still is the top of the tops. Toni www.supersoaps.org
