Stop Susan Williams

I was dedicated fan of this TV series and was greatly disappointed when it was canceled. I could hardly wait for the next show to come on again and looked forward to it every week. My favorite cliffhanger was Dracula but I had gotten caught up in the other two before it was taken off the air. I don't remember a lot about Stop Susan Williams or the Empire, but if given the chance I'd like to see them again just to see what I think of them today.

Whenever I see Michael Nouri in a movie or TV show I think back to Cliffhangers. He did a great job as the Dracula character and he is great in whatever role he chooses to play.

I wish I could get copies of this show on DVD.

I always knew the Cliffhangers series was a trilogy, but for some reason I can't remember "Susan Williams." Could be that they never showed that series too often on our local station. I'm quite sure, however, if I were to see it again it would all come back to me.

Nevertheless, I thoroughly enjoyed "Secret Empire" and the best "Dracula" movie ever, with one of the greatest actors of all times, Michael Nouri. Do you remember him in "The Sands of Time" by Sidney Sheldon? He's just so brilliant!! Talk about nostalgia!! To watch Cliffhangers again would be like a dream come true. My family, particularly my sister and I never missed a beat, especially when "The Curse of Dracula" was showing.

If someone, anyone knows where I can find the DVD or VHS for these series/movies, I would be most grateful.

I remember watching this show when I was in the fifth grade and I really enjoyed it. It reminded you like the title of those old fashioned movie serials they used to make where you wondered if the hero or heroine had escaped or how they had escaped. I really enjoyed the Dracula version. Michael Nouri did a great job and I think that Bela Lugosi would have been very proud. Susan Anton did a great job as well in her "Stop Susan Williams" version. I was glad when they made a movie of it called "The Girl Who Saved The World" where they finally let us see what happened to her.

I remember this series fondly, under its actual title "Cliffhangers!". Even though I had a crush on Susan Anton (Hey, I was 8. Tall blondes were my thing then :D!), my favorite segment had to be "The Secret Empire" (This was the "Cowboy finds Atlantis" segment). I remember laughing hysterically when the the hero (the cowboy) was being pummelled senseless by a little green pointy-eared chimpanzee that was actually his Atlantean girlfriend's pet! I remember being bummed that it ended with him falling off a cliff and them showing him laying unconscious (maybe dead, even {?}). I wish this would somehow show up on TVLand or somewhere else. This show would be great to see again!

Susan Anton starred in STOP SUSAN WILLIAMS, one of three segments in the CLIFFHANGERS series, which was just a great show. The other two segments were about a cowboy living in the 1880s who discovers an advanced civilization living under the American prarie(this segment was filmed in black and white), and the other was about Dracula, living in modern day L.A. and pursuing a woman whose mother he had bitten and killed years before. To be honest, the Dracula segment held my interest more because I was in the 3rd grade and crazy for monsters and ghosts at the time. To my best memories, each storyline got about 20 minutes during the hour-long show and, as the title of the show indicates, each segment ended with some sort of life and death situation(one segment ending that I remember from the Susan Williams segment: Susan unknowingly takes a bubble bath as a cobra slithers across the floor toward her bathtub!)Despite being a sure-fire hit for kids, the show doesn't seem to have done too well; I remember that the last episode containing the resolutions of the Susan Williams and cowboy segments was never aired, the series presumably being cancelled due to low ratings. Isn't that infuriating? I took some consolation in the fact that the Dracula storyline was resolved, with a great climatic ending in a wax museum that Dracula had selected as a make-shift lair, with a great fire ala HOUSE OF WAX! Come to think of it, there were several rip-offs of other horror movies, like a sequence where the heroine is partially vampirized by Dracula and taken to a convent where an exorcism is performed on her! I'm sure the show would show it's seams now, but back then it was just great! It would be fun to see it again.
