Have you ever been watching a show and were so into it that when a to be continued popped up it left you breathlessly waiting till next week?

Follow up question—— Does any show get the accepted credit as to being the first to use this trick?

If we are talking about sitcoms, 2-parters go all the way back as early as The Dick Van Dyke Show. Personally, I cant stand it when sitcoms use this gimmick.

You see a lot of it with series finales that are broken up into multiple episodes.

I don’t remember the words popping up onscreen on The DVD Show but that could be faulty memory on my part.

I Love Lucy also used 2-parters as well but the words “to be continued” never flashed on the screen. Their first one was “Tennessee Ernie Visits/“Tennessee Ernie Hangs On”

Yes I have many Opus!!!!

Quite annoying :(

One Day At A Time did a bunch of them. Barbara’s Friend was the best one.
