 |  | Season Four, NOW, please!!! |  |
Alfred Hitchcock Presents is a big batch of wonderfulness. I, like all other Hitchcock fans, zealously grabbed up the first three releases and have enjoyed them over and over again. But look, Universal...there was an implicit promise that we'd get one of these per year, right around Halloween. And you've dropped the ball with Season Four. You have an obligation to keep these coming until all of them, every season, every episode, are beautifully restored and available for collectors and murder-mystery fans. You owe it to Hitch!
Whatever the delay is, overcome it. Get these out, if possible faster.
And if you happen to be a shopper mulling over this purchase, I can't recommend it strongly enough. Alfred Hitchcock's wraparound segments are worth the price of admission alone. He's warm, darkly amusing, and often downright hilarious. The shows themselves are clever, and often ingenious. Get all three seasons, and help us convince Universal DVD to keep them coming!!
November 26, 2008Universal has a track record for releasing this TV programs slowly and in many cases, stopping early before the entire series is available on DVD. Seasons three, four and five were the best of the bunch and it appears season four is not going to be available. More sad is the lack of extras. Heck, I can Youtube and find bonus film shorts related to the series. Recorded interviews and so on. Thankfully I have The Alfred Hitchcock Presents Companion (a superb book also available on Amazon.com) that helps me learn more behind-the-scenes details I wish were on these discs. Quality of transfers was excellent and each episode is complete and uncut.

I never got to see this show when it aired in the 50's and 60's. I had to go to bed early. So finally seeing these magnificent episodes is like finding a buried treasure. The stories are great (they have that devious little twist at the end), the actors are top-notch, and for me, they are nostalgic time capsules of the world of my childhood days.
The first 3 seasons were just marvelous, and I devoured them with great relish, and happily looked forward to the many upcoming seasons, to be released, I thought, on DVD. Well....it's autumn (same time of year that the first three seasons were released on DVD), and Season Four ain't nowhere to be seen. Was it too good to last? Or are WE the ones this time, who are victims of a Hitchcockian plot? Is this the perverse twist at the end of OUR story?

Well done show. The show could get dark, but Hitchcock always added the humor with his intros.
August 21, 2008It is great to go back in time and enjoy the actors and scripts from 50 years ago. Hitchcock did a masterful job of crafting these episodes. We enjoyed every one.
