It likely would have been in color, as almost all NBC primetime shows were in 1965-66. That would have seemed so odd.
I did not know this, thanks for sharing the info. Too bad there was not a 4th season of Alfred Hitchcock Hour in 1965-66.Reportedly, AH was getting tired of the series and James Allardice, who had written all the intros for ten years had recently died and AH didn't want to continue without him.
I don't know about video quality differences. I have the Fabulous Films set and the video quality is very good. However, the Fabulous Films set is in PAL format, which means 4% speedup. I don't know if that would bother you, but it did me, so I had to extract the content and convert it to NTSC for playback. If it were me, and Via Vision is already NTSC, I would go that route.Contemplating a purchase, but don't know whether to order the Fabulous Films set or the Viavision set. Is there a difference in video quality?
Agreed, the Via Vision set is the one to get.I don't know about video quality differences. I have the Fabulous Films set and the video quality is very good.

I like those episodes too. Forecast: Low Clouds And Coastal Fog has a nice dramatic performance by Inger Stevens. An interesting contrast from her role in Farmer's Daughter. A couple of others with nice twists and good suspense are Goodbye George and Final Performance. Probably my favorite episode of the Hours is You'll Be the Death of Me with powerful performances by Robert Loggia and Pilar Seurat.A favorite episode of mine from the 1st season is Forecast: Low Clouds And Coastal Fog. A good suspenseful story with the usual Hitchcock twist at the end, although the first time I watched the episode I have to say that I didn't see the twist coming, it was a surprise to me but in a good way not a bad way. A good episode, highly recommended.
