The Little Man Who was There - I’m glad I learned of the great Norman Lloyd from watching this show. I know he was in multiple eps, so this may not be my fave ep with him, but it was still enjoyable. The Man from the South - I only knew of Peter Lorre from people’s impressions of him, so it was a treat to see him for real. The Dusty Drawer - I loved all Dick York eps, but this one was my favorite. The character reminded me of a grown up Stewie Griffin. Sybilla - This story was so emotional and sweet. The Glass Eye - one of my favorite eps, the twist is hilariously wtf but in the context of the ep super creepy. Directed by Robert Stevens Paul Henreid Herschel Daugherty Alfred Hitchcock.

I will say, my favorite part of the program, though, was Hitchcock’s intros/interstitials, haha haha I tended to like the weird/quirky ones, but the suspenseful/murder ones were also great. I used to watch it everyday on Antenna TV and/or MeTV years ago, and I kept a long list of my faves/other opinions. (I enjoy watching other old shows like Bonanza and Gunsmoke for this same reason) That’s great it’s on the Roku channel! I agree that the hokey/overdramatic ones are part of the charm while some eps are legitimately captivating. Hitchcock directed 17 of the 267 filmed episodes of Alfred Hitchcock Presents four during the first season and one or two per season thereafter. ![]()
