Hundreds of books have been written about Alfred Hitchcock and his movies, but rarely has anyone covered the Hitchcock television series that still remains popular today.  ALFRED HITCHCOCK PRESENTS and THE ALFRED HITCHCOCK HOUR have been broadcast over network television far more than Hitchcock's movies yet very little has been written dealing with the subject of the Hitchcock television series - until now.

This 660 page book (yes, it is that thick!) documents the entire history of the television series including a detailed episode guide for each broadcast, a chapter covering the AHP collectables, spoofs and comic books related to the Hitchcock television program, a listing of the anthology paperback and hardcover books using the AHP name, and a generous helping of extras!

Quoting one book reviewer: "Each of the 441 episodes is covered in a separate entry containing original airdate, complete cast and credits, the text of Hitchcock's on-camera remarks, a succinct episode synopsis, and the teleplay's original source material.  Many entried contain what the authors call 'Trivia, etc.' - additional behind-the-scenes information or other insights.  The material is excellent, much of it gleaned from the industrious interviews with the show's longtime producers Norman Lloyd and Joan Harrison; such writers as Henry Slesar and Ray Bradbury; directors Gordon Hessler, Joseph Pevney, and many others; and performers including Vincent Price, Julie Adams, Hazel Court, Warren Stevens, Marc Richman and many others."

REVIEWS

"It is a treasure trove of information and lore, based on enormous research and a number of interviews.  The index alone, which runs 31 pages in small type, makes it a must for any reference library.  The authors have attempted to put Hitchcock's television work into the larger context of his career, and similarly, provided useful background

material on many individual shows that

allow us to see the big picture as well as

the details."

"THE ALFRED HITCHCOCK PRESENTS

COMPANION by Martin Grams, Jr. and

Patrik Wikstrom contains an enormous

amount of material on Hitchcock's

activities apart from his role as a film

director . . . From beginning to end, THE

ALFRED HITCHCOCK PRESENTS

COMPANION is overflowing with Hitchcock

and all things Hitchcockian."

-  Sidney Gottlieb, THE HITCHCOCK ANNUAL, 2001-02

"Grams and Wikstrom's very ambitious, meaty book is by far the best yet to trace the history of the Hitchcock television phenomenon and its ancillary activity.  In fact, so good is this volume that it likely will never be surpassed."

-  David J. Hogan, April/May 2003 issue of FILMFAX Magazine
