Where To Watch
Did these classic shows ever have any two-part episodes?
Which shows teased “to be continued” and which didn’t?
With the rise of streaming, many new shows these days continue storylines from episode to episode, but it’s a relatively new phenomenon. In the era of classic television, each episode was a self-contained story in case viewers missed a week or two.
Of course, sometimes a series would tell a longer story over two or more episodes and flash the dreaded tease “to be continued” right after a cliffhanger at the end of part one. While it happened more often in dramas, plenty of sitcoms had two-part episodes as well.
Here are 20 classic series. Guess whether each one had two-part episodes or not. It’s a simple yes or no question but the answers may surprise you!

This was a pretty tough one.
15/20.

* Some of those hour-long series 2-part episodes are edited into movies shown in theaters in European countries dubbed into various languages. BTW I got perfect quiz score!
i got 10/20
16 out of 20.
I cry FOUL on the I LOVE LUCY answer! How can anyone forget the 2 parter involving JOHN WAYNE's footprints in cement outside the famous Chinese Theater??
Pt 1 Lucy and Ethel stole them and BROKE them! Pt 2, they kept trying to get The Duke to make some more!
And how about the 2 parter where "Cousin Ernie" moved in but didn't the money to return home? In pt 2 everyone went on a variety show to earn the dough? It was used in MeTV's "Y'ALL COME" ads!

I've taken the quiz twice because I couldn't remember the answers the first time. But I do remember ILL fans talking about the JW two parter, so it must be true.
Yep, and CBS recently ran both parts colorized!
I agree!
And the two parter where Carolyn Appleby visits them in California. In the first part, Lucy becomes Van Johnson's dancing partner. At the end of the episode, she talks about having a fictional house party she's having with lots of Hollywood stars, which, to her dismay, Carolyn rearranges her travel plans to attend. In the second part, Lucy steals Carolyn's glasses and stages the party with elaborate costumes and masks, not knowing that Ricky and Fred invited Harpo Marx!

#4, to my knowledge, I can not think of any show that had a 3 part episode (MASH) GOOD-BYE RADAR! Probably one of THE BEST good bye episodes ever! I get a lump in my throat when they find the teddy bear in the swamp!!
I Love Lucy had several two part episodes, although they were not announced as such.
* Wasn't Cousin Ernie a 2-parter?

20 for 20. Like Todd below, I wondered if the 3 episode Washington DC arc counted.
I always recalled those Gomer episodes because the episode with Gomer at the Lincoln
Memorial originally aired the night when my family got back from DC.
My uncle Pete took us to the Memorial at 11 PM because it is astoundingly beautiful and
moving at that hour, completely silent with not even 10 people present. Trust me, there
is no better time to view it, you will thank me if you do. Nixon would go there late as
well. I also recall that night because my twin sister, me and my cousin Jeannie were
running on the stairs and my sister slipped and was knocked out when her head hit the
stairs. Whoa, sorry to go off on a tangent here.

I don't know if you can really say Gomer didn't have any two part episodes. Although they weren't in two parts there was a three parter when he goes to Washington, another when they have sea maneuvers and a third when they are in a movie.
* Wasn't Gomer, Sergeant Carter & the rest of platoon in Hollywood making a movie a multi-parter?
Not that I didn't miss more than a few others (only got 12/20)
I could have sworn that Dennis Hopper's Twilight Zone appearance in 'He's Alive' was a two-parter

It was one of the hour long Twilight Zones. Maybe the station you watched it on split it in two?
wholly possible...
I got all 20 correct.yay!
11 out of 20 - My third eye is still asleep.
14 out of 20. Not my best try.
