​Alfred Hitchcock Presents
Summary: Anthology series created, hosted, and produced by Alfred Hitchcock. Airing between 1955 and 1962, each 30-minute episode presented stories involving crime, horror, drama, and/or comedy.

Bloch: “The reason for my meeting with the Hitchcock people was simple enough. They’d purchased those two short stories [“The Cure” and “Is Betsy Blake Still Alive?”] adapted for the television show by other writers and they’d learned that I wrote for television myself. So what could be more logical than to call me in to do a television script from a story by another writer? At least that’s what they were thinking at the time. Who was I to dispute them? Particularly not when they offered me Frank Maces’ story “The Cuckoo Clock” for adaptation.”
