Didn't Hitchcock himself make cameo appearances in several of these films? Nanobug 16:12 23 Jun 2003 (UTC)

Thanks, I thought I had that already, guess I didn't. - Zanimum

[edit] TV airings

I just wanted to point out that it's a little inaccurate to say that its airing on this new cable channel will be the first time in a decade. I've seen it on TV, and it wasn't as far back as 1985. Perhaps the first time a major channel/network aired it? I think I watched it on one of the local syndicates. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Macphile (talk • contribs) 20:38, 15 May 2007 (UTC).

[edit] My, what a long list you have...

Is it just me, or is the list of actors appearing on the show WAY TOO LONG? I can see having a list of highly notable guest stars, but the new list of seemingly EVERY actor ever to be credited with appearing on the show seems unnecessary. What about creating a new article — List of actors appearing on Alfred Hitchcock Presents List of Alfred Hitchcock Presents guest stars? Then, just have a section briefly indicating that a number of popular actors, and actors that would later become well-known, appeared on the series, and add a {{main}} link. Thoughts? -NatureBoyMD (talk) 04:23, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

Is it better to keep the article self-contained rather than creating a new article, especially since it's easy enough to take a moment scroll through the list? Given the high importance Wikipedia has given this show, why not list every actor whom the original producers thought important enough to list in the show's credits? svharwood1@aol.com 1220pm PT 11/24/07 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.200.122.40 (talk • contribs) 15:19, Nov 24, 2007, (UTC)

My main concern is that the huge long list clutters the page and makes it look unattractive. Rethinking it, I guess I don't really see a problem with listing all actors. Take a look a The Twilight Zone (1959)'s page: The_Twilight_Zone_(1959_TV_series)#Guest_stars. The way the list of guest stars is handled there looks great.

I have taken the bold inititive of creating such an article. The list on the main article had no kind of order what-so-ever. Names weren't in alpahbetical or chonological order. The new page has two lists, just like the one on the main article, with names sorted alphabetically. -NatureBoyMD 20:56, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
