It has become common for soap operas to end their seasons with a cliff-hanger, leaving a central character in jeopardy from June to September. This spring, for example, a major character in "Knots Landing" will be "forced to appear to commit suicide and left on the floor with a belly full of pills," according to the show's executive producer, David Jacobs. "In a serial, ev "We were left incomplete," said Edward Zwick, a co-creator of "thirtysomething." "We had something very specific in mind, an emotional summing up." Glenn Caron, the creator of "Moonlighting," said, "It was like being three-quarters of the way through a piece of music." "Moonlighting' in particular, was left with its plot lines tangled.

Unless a settlement is reached very soon, there will be no time for any of these shows to go back into production this season. Meanwhile, the strike has left the Coca-Cola Co. with a warehouse full of 3-D eyeglasses about 40 million of them. Early in January, the company went to Caron and suggested that "Moonlighting" run a 10-minute three-dimensional segment in its series finale, followed by a 3-D commercial for Coca-Cola Classic. Now there is discussion about doing the 3-D segment next Christmas.
