Heh! I did the entire series about 2 years ago. It's still an excellent series! Don't forget the new series as well. It's also quite enjoyable! :Thmbsup:
I also did the Twilight Zone -- both the original and new series.

I thought both Twilight Zone and Alfred Hitchcock Presents packed more punch in the 1/2 hour format. Hitchcock is the only show I can think of where I actually want to watch the original commercials when watching the show. He often had clever comments that wouldn't make sense without them.
40hz:
There was also Boris Karloff's TV series Thriller and the Alcoa Aluminum sponsored One Step Beyond that were similarly themed and quite good - although Karloffs sardonic intros, and Hitchcock's dry wit and backhanded swipes at "The Sponsors," added an appreciated humorous touch that the others lacked.
They're both out on DVD! :Thmbsup:

One Step Beyond seems to have 3 seeders on TPB. ;) :P
Not so much luck for Thriller though. :(
The Alcoa thing is interesting though... They have quite a history.

My favorite episode of OSB was the one where John Newland had a researcher who was investigating the effects of a special mushroom found in the rain forest. The guy gives Newland a mushroom and hits him with a strobe light and if I remember rightly, a hypnotic wheel. You could tell Newland was really flying high. I guess the TV networks weren't uptight about it because they didn't know what it was back then. And the researcher likely had a PHD. :)
