Oh yeah...I'd forgotten about that little "in three months..." line at the
end of the show.  Also recall thinking exactly the same thing, i.e. some
cast members might not return, or even the show might not return.

If it counts as a cliffhanger at all -- and compared to X-files or
Millenium, it doesn't -- it was at least a rather witty, tongue-in-cheek,
reflexive sort of "cliffhanger".
