ALFRED HITCHCOCK PRESENTS
October 2, 1955 - June 1962
CBS & NBC Suspense Anthology Series - 268 Episodes
Host:
Alfred Hitchcock
The benign countenance of pudgy film director Alfred
Hitchcock welcomed viewers to stories of terror, horror,
suspense, and twisted endings for an entire decade.
His clipped British accent and catlike theme music
became television standbys as the series was seen on
two different networks and was later seen for years in
syndication. The stories would often appear to end with
evil triumphant, in strict violation of the television
code of ethics. This situation was always resolved
following the last commercial, when Hitchcock would
return to explain, in his deadpan sardonic way, what
silly mistake or chance occurance had finally
done the villan in.
Watch the entire episode "Lamb to the Slaughter" (1958).

When the show was expanded to an hour in 1962,
the title was changed to The Alfred Hitchcock Hour.
THE ALFRED HITCHCOCK HOUR
September 1962 - May 10, 1965
CBS & NBC Suspense Anthology Series - 93 Filmed Episodes
Host:
Alfred Hitchcock
For one season on NBC, in the fall of 1985, five years
after Hitchcock's death, the famous director acheived a
unique distinction: he became the first person in
history to return from the dead to host a new series.
Films of his original black-and-white introductions
were colorized and used to introduce new episodes.
Hitchcock's black humor took on an eerie quality
coming, as it were, from the grave. It was the sort
of macabre touch that the master would have enjoyed.
In 1987 an additional year of new episodes were
made for the USA Cable Network.
