NBC initially had a lot of faith in Cliffhangers. There were tentative plans for further serials once these three reached their conclusions. But scheduling the series opposite Happy Days and Laverne And Shirley, which were at their zenith, pretty much killed Cliffhangers. The series was canceled so abruptly that only the Dracula story had a finale. The episodes that would have brought the other two stories to an end were never shown in this country. NBC never reran the episodes, which might have recouped some of the production costs. Kinda parallels their treatment of Dark Shadows a few years later.
