1979 show by Kenneth Johnson with three separate serial-inspired chapters.
The Curse of Dracula-starring Michael Nouri (the only one to finish airing in North America). The Secret Empire --about a US Marshall in the 1880s who finds a cave to an underground city of aliens Stop Susan Williams! - starring Susan Anton as a reporter investigating her brother's death and a conspiracy.
I finally watched the entire series since the last episode never showed here but I found out it showed in Europe and someone recorded it back in the early 80s and put it online. Terrible video quality but good enough.
Glad I watched it--was so cool to no longer be left hanging after 4 decades.

LOL, I had totally forgotten about this series. Cool that somebody actually uploaded the endings...and it was sort of a fun idea; someone should revive this for tv.

No I didnt get it from there-nice to know it is online though in a more accessible place. The Les Baxter score for the Dracula one was released to a CD.

One thing I DIDN'T like is that the uploader DIDN'T upload the first episodes. They start on the second OR after. So I WON'T watch UNTIL I can watch the first episodes.

Do not be alarmed when watching episode one. Stop Susan Williams does start on Chapter 2. The Secret Empire does start with Chapter 3. The Curse Of Dracula does start with chapter 6.
This was just an attempt by the network to copy the structure of the serials. The episode is very easy to follow and has plenty of introductory scenes.

I watched the show when it first aired in 1979 and never forgot about it. Sometimes it felt like I was the only one who knew about it.

I remembered the Dracula and Secret Empire (the little green alien) but had no memory of Stop Susan Williams.
Fred Ward appears in the last 2 episodes but it's not listed on his IMDB.
