I can't believe they ran reruns in the 60's. The show was on from 1953-1957.

Anyone remember the TV show "Alfred Hitchcock Presents?"

It started in 1955, the year I was born. Ran for 10 years.

I remember the theme music. And at the end of the intro, he turned sideways for a silhouette shot.

Funny, the wife was watching an episode night before last, and I remember watching a few episodes when I was a kid.

Found it on the Roku channel and watched the first 2 episodes this morning with coffee.

Used to watch it all the time when I was a kid.

My mom and dad didn't let me stay up that late. I didn't get to see Dr. Kildare either. Or The Fugitive.

But I did have a Howdy Doody marionette...

I know Eddie Albert in the picture there. He's the "Green Acres" guy.

"You are my wife." "Goodbye city life."
