I've seen several postings expressing approval of the new "Alfred
Hitchcock Presents."  I was disappointed with this show.  [I was
also disappointed by TZ and was not surprised by "Amazing Stories",
which I plan never to watch again.]

I hated the coloration of Hitchcock's introduction.  It would have
had considerably more class in B&W, and I (partially colorblind!)
was not impressed with the appearance of the colors.

I felt no suspense at any time during the episode, except perhaps
a desire to know when the predictable ending would occur.  I certainly
felt no sympathy for any of the characters.

I've never seen this episode from the original anthology, so I
can't compare the two.  Perhaps I'm expecting too much.  This is
(U.S. commercial) television, after all.
