Alfred Hitchcock Presents (1955)

Written by GenerationofSwine on January 11, 2023

I guess the most powerful thing I can say is that I remember my family gathering around the television to watch this every week when I was a little kid. And it aired on when my father was 2 years-old.

In other words it has lasting resonance, but that it because, like the original Twilight Zone (and to an extent the 80s reboot) it has a little bot of everything and a new story to tell every week.

It's like what American Horror Story wants to be, but can't seem to wrap a story up in a single episode... or at least can't seem to do it well enough that guarantees that viewers will come back every week.

It has a little of everything in a way that is runs the field from fun to scary depending on, well, depending on which episode you watch
