Well, it would make sense to hop over here and give a review for this series since I just reviewed "Alfred Hitchcock Presents". I'd never watched the hour long episodes until I got into AHP as an adult. And I pretty much have the same feeling for this series as I do for AHP. It's so under appreciated and I don't really understand why? AHH has so many classic episodes that go hand in hand with each other when it concerns excellent writing and the performances given by the actors and actresses. I'm talking episodes that will stick with you, one of my best examples is "Lonely Place". And I'll also use that example for why I titled my subject header the way I did. That episode just had so much in it and it would've been impossible to cram that into the time span for an "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" episode. There needed to be more time in order to tell the episode properly.
Another example for the "bigger is better" involves one I recently watched called "Night Fever". This is another one of my favorite episodes and makes me a bit teary eyed at the end....needless to say I can relate to how the main character feels about herself. Anyway, I got online and watched the "Night Fever" remake they did in the 80s "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" and I was more impressed with the hour long episode. Better writing, better performances from the actors and actresses.
And just like my review for AHP, AHH doesn't really get much appreciation when it concerns dvd releases. There's a few episodes I didn't like, overall I enjoyed the series and would love to own the series on dvd. No releases here in my country and I'm wary about buying releases from other countries that might not play once it's all said and done.
