I was a Junior in high school ( 11th grade/16 yrs. old ) when this and Spielbergs Amazing Stories were announced as an hour block on the same night. Everyone was, of course, beside themselves with excitement over Spielbergs return to television, myself included. Little did we know.
Within a matter of weeks it was obvious that Amazing Stories was a well produced bore, and the revival of Alfred Hitchcock Presents was the true gem. It was evident from this, the first episode.
Incident in a Small Jail- Ned( Deliverance )Beatty and Lee( punk band Fear/ Mr. Body in Clue )Ving in a classic mistaken identity story.
Man from the South- A truly twisted performance by John Huston, in one of Roald Dahls best short stories. James and the Giant Peach this is not.
Bang! You're dead!- THE NRA nightmare of all time.
An Unlocked Window- 1980's Annette O'Toole in a nurse uniform ( Meow! ), in a rainstorm, while someone is going around strangling nurses. I'll save you Annette, just give me smooches.
Sorry, flash backed to teenage boy me.
All in all one of the best pilots of the 80's.
