"Good e-e-evening" - The first phrase uttered each week by Alfred Hitchcock, host of the suspense anthology ALFRED HITCHCOCK PRESENTS/CBS/NBC/1955-65/USA/1987-88. Each episode began with Hitchcock's classic profile displayed on the television screen. Immediately after the real Hitchcock merged with his image, he inhaled deeply and addressed the audience with his now simple but effective "Good e-e-evening." Five years after Alfred Hitchcock died, he returned from the dead (so to speak) when his old black and white introductions and conclusions from the original series were repackaged ("colorized") with newly written stories filmed in color that aired on ALFRED HITCHCOCK PRESENTS/NBC/USA/1985-88.
