     That's been my complaint all along about "Alfred Hitchcock Presents".
Not enough shock/twist at the end to make the story worth watching, except
for a few noticeable exceptions (as mentioned above).

     As an aside, I posted an article about one of the four episodes that
aired last summer, and said that John Carradine had starred in it. Someone
pointed out (politley, I might add) that it wasn't John Carradine, but John
Huston. Well, they just reran that episode, and much to my amazement (and
embarassment) it was John Huston, not John Carradine as I reported.
