It's funny how attitudes change. If I had written this review when I was a kid I would've told you I didn't like the series and thought it was stupid. I think I had caught some of the series when it was on TV Land when I was younger and I just wasn't impressed with it.
I gave the show another chance when I was older and my attitude reversed itself. Alfred's intros and outros are hilarious and the episodes themselves are well written and acted. It disappoints me that the series really doesn't get the appreciation it deserves, whether we're talking about episodes being labeled as classic or even high quality dvd releases. I would LOVE to own the series on dvd but I don't want to shell out money for discs that are 'flipper discs' and it sounds like it's a hit or a miss if certain discs or episodes are viewable.
I had just done a review for Little House on the Prairie and I said it was rare for me to find a series that was good from start to finish. Alfred Hitchcock Presents is another one on that very short list. And just like with Little House, there's a few episodes I'm not fond of. But it's still not a case of getting to a certain season and thinking "Well, let me wait for the series to start back over because the series really started tanking at this point." It was excellent from the first season to the last. Quite impressive and major credit goes towards the cast and crew for doing such a great job.
