Alfred Hitchcock Presents - Series 1 - Complete [DVD]

Alfred Hitchcock Presents - Series 1 - Complete [DVD]

When it premiered on CBS on October 2, 1955,Alfred Hitchcock Presentswas an instant hit ... more

destined for long-term popularity. The series'
original half-hour anthology format provided a
perfect showcase for stories of mystery, suspense,
and the macabre that reflected Hitchcock's
established persona. Every Sunday at 9:30 p.m.,
the series began with the familiar theme of
Gounod's "Funeral March of a Marionette" (which
would thereafter be inextricably linked with
Hitchcock), and as Hitchcock's trademark profile
sketch was overshadowed by the familiar silhouette
of Hitchcock himself, the weekly "play" opened and
closed with the series' most popular feature: As a
good-natured host whose inimitable presence made
him a global celebrity, Hitchcock delivered droll,
dryly sardonic introductions and epilogues to each
week's episode, flawlessly written by James
Allardyce and frequently taking polite pot-shots
at CBS sponsors, or skirting around broadcast
standards (which demanded that no crime could go
unpunished) by humorously explaining how the
show's killers and criminals were always brought
to justice... though always with a nod and a wink
to the viewer.This knowing complicity was
Hitchcock's pact with his audience, and the secret
to his (and the series') long-term success. It's
also what attracted a stable of talented writers
whose teleplays, both original and adapted,
maintained a high standard of excellence.
Hitchcock directed four of the first season's 39
episodes, including the premiere episode "Revenge"
(a fan favorite, with futurePsychocostar Vera
Miles) and the season highlight "Breakdown," with
Joseph Cotten as a car-accident victim, paralyzed
and motionless, who's nearly left for dead; it's a
perfect example of visual and narrative economy,
executed with a master's touch. (The fourth
episode, "Don't Come Back Alive," is also a
popular favourite, with the kind of sinister twist
that became a series trademark.) Robert Stevenson
directed the majority of the remaining episodes
with similar skill, serving tightly plotted tales
(selected by associate producers Joan Harrison and
Norman Lloyd) by such literary greats as Ray
Bradbury, Robert Bloch, Cornell Woolrich, Dorothy
L. Sayers, and John Collier. Adding to the series'
prestige was a weekly roster of new and seasoned
stars, with first-season appearances by Cloris
Leachman, Darren McGavin, Everett Sloane, Peter
Lawford, Charles Bronson, Barry Fitzgerald, John
Cassavetes, Joanne Woodward, Thelma Ritter, and a
host of Hollywood's best-known character players.
With such stellar talent on weeklydisplay,Alfred
Hitchcock Presentspaved the way forThriller, The
Twilight Zone, and other series that maximized the
anthology format's storytelling potential.--Jeff

Advantages: has all seasons and episodes in it!

The Box set is a must have for any Friends Lover. if you watch re-runs of the show on tv and can say every line of any episode, your a fan, so go get this Box set. it includes every season, with bonus extras, out-takes, and bloobers from each season. the best part about it is that you will have them all, and you won't have to go looking online for free channels to watch it, or wait every day to the late hours of the night just to enjoy an episode or two. you can sift through any season anytime your feeling a little down, and you need a friends pick me up! this is great series and you should probably look into getting it if your a true fan of Friends ...

Review of Friends - Series 1-10 - Complete (Box Set) (DVD)

A Box with No End ...

Advantages: Lennard Pearce as Grandad, & Classic Episodes
Disadvantages: Not all the Best & Special Episodes, No Extras

? --------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------- The First Series 1 to 7 Box Set is stuffed with over 50 different episodes listed below. The great thing about this Box Set is that there is no particular order you must follow. There is a vast range of story lines for you to follow which do not overlap with episodes. You could start in reverse order and I guarantee unlike other programmes, you will fully understand from scene to scene without having a specific order to follow. This will allow you and others to view episodes individually at your own choice and leisure. Here you have an almost complete package of Classic British Comedy for both teenagers and adults. The only thing missing is that it does not feature each & every episode ever made for BBC Television. But the Box Set is a great introduction to those who have unfortunately not as of yet discovered 'Only Fools & Horses' as ...

Review of Only Fools And Horses - The Complete Series 1 To 7 (Box Set) (DVD)

39 classic episodes...

Advantages: 39 episodes in one place, classic television
Disadvantages: Addictive

Alfred Hitchcock Presents? Season One This box set includes 6 discs from the first Season, which aired in 1955. Watching every single episode in this box set will take up 16 hours of time. I remember Alfred Hitchcock presents from the remakes in the 80s. When I spotted this box set I decided to buy it as the 1950's originals held more appeal for me. These episodes are classics and in my opinion better than the remakes. Each episode is introduced by Alfred Hitchcock, his introductions are funny and a good set up to the episode that is just about to be seen. He also appears at the end of each episode. I find this box set very addictive as well. I sit down to watch one episode and it seems to stay on for a lot longer. Each episode lasts about half hour and the episodes are very different, it was a very original show. All ...
