Get your recorders ready!

The Decades Channel is celebrating Alfred Hitchcock's birthday on August 13, 14, and 15th by showing endless episodes of The Alfred Hitchcock Hour. (They did a similar thing in April to remember the date he died).

The marathon starts at 12 noon on Saturday the 13th and goes non-stop through the 15th.

Since Me-TV only shows the Hour show once a week now, this is a great time to feast your eyes on your favorite eppys.

Here are some of the episodes scheduled according to TVGuide.com (I see several of my favorites!):

Thanks in advance for your help.
As you know,episodes include intros and afterwords by Hitchcock.
There are also further comments halfway of the show.
I am looking for some of them,sometimes called MIDLINE ,in:

How To Get Rid of Your Wife (# 43 )
&
A Nice Touch ( # 34 )

And, if they exist, I am deeply interested in a transcript too.
Enjoy the Marathon!
Best,
A.K.

Hi Matt. I'm recording these. Perhaps I'll see if I can write up a transcript for you.

I'm recording on a DVD and am not skilled enough to upload the video to the internet from a DVD.

Ah. I don't get that channel.but I can still DVR some episodes on MeTV. Sounds like a cool lineup.

If you live in a place where you can use a digital antenna, I picked up a Clear TV antenna at Walgreens on sale for about $10 (they are normally $20).

I hooked it up to the TV and my DVD recorder and it gets Decades. That's what I have to do since Comcast doesn't allow you to use recorders anyway.

Thanks Synthia! I saw the announcement last night while watching Helter Skelter on Decades. This makes me very happy. It's about time that Decades had a weekend binge that I know I'll enjoy.
I have been watching some AHPs on Netflix this past weekend. I have all of the hour ones recorded on DVD, but it will still be nice to have them on all weekend.... like the TZ marathons on SyFy. I have the whole set but I still enjoy coming to IMDb to discuss.
Hopefully, many folks will be here and watching the binge. It makes it more fun to discuss with other fans.

Thanks for this - I'm watching now. I wish they were showing An Unlocked Window and The Jar - those are my favorites. I don't think I've seen some of these in 50 years? Wow. Did I just say that?

[–] Synthia7 8 years ago

Oh yes I love those two as well. Decades showed The Jar in April and MeTV showed Unlocked Window last fall.

I just saw "Bonfire" starring Peter Falk and Dina Merrill which I had recorded during the binge.

Was really good and great performance by Falk. He played the part of a preacher who was a real sickie, and Falk nailed that part.
