Hitchcock Presents an endless spectrum of Short Stories

in very first season from 1955
now seen ten episodes, extremely different in between
each containing such a unique idea = splendid variation!

As usual I give 1-7 stars for each aspect = 35 maximum
where 3 is good and 7 extremely high
but test especially developed aspects for this series

Hitchcock himself always gets 7 stars, out of pure strangeness. Seldom his jokes fails to surprise me - never thought I would like him even better as a presenter than director.
