I made a formatting mistake edit

I added a short synopsis to Season 1/ Episode 29, but the font doesn't match, and I created a gray box around it. It's good there's a synopsis now, but it looks cr@ppy. If anyone can change that, please do  : ) I've never edited in tables like that! Thanks Codenamemary (talk) 10:13, 6 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

Spoilers edit

I came here to look up a general plot outline and found nothing but spoilers. All of these plot encapsulations need to be rewritten OR have spoiler alerts. The Photoplayer 05:28, 17 October 2015 (UTC)Reply

My understanding is that plot summaries have to be complete, and that wikipedia no longer uses spoiler alerts, per Wikipedia:Spoiler. AD (talk) 05:54, 17 October 2015 (UTC)Reply

This is an encyclopedia.. do you read those for an "outline" of how WW2 worked out?

Also, how many did you read before you realized they were being spoiled? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 159.117.1.11 (talk) 22:53, 28 October 2016 (UTC)Reply

I'm just wondering if (especially considering the length of this list/page) it might be better to simply split the individual Season sections into separate pages (keeping the explicit summaries), and turning this page into a simple listing of the episodes, with number, Season, broadcast date, and (if allowed) a shorter summary of each episode?

I am splitting List of Alfred Hitchcock Presents (1985 TV series) episodes off as a separate article.

Here's why.

As you may know, I have been transferring data in this list (as well as this list) from the less-appropriate tables in which they have hitherto found themselves into the standard tables for episode lists.  The thing is, the number in series column automatically generates page anchors, e.g., #ep1, #ep2, #ep3.

I am about to begin the same transferral process to the revival series, but since it is a new, separate series, I have no choice but to list the first episode thereof as first episode in series, the second episode thereof as second episode in series, etc.  In order to avoid having duplicate #ep1, #ep2, #ep3 (&c.) anchors on the same page, I have no choice but to split this list into a separate article.

Cheers,

Audio problems (wind noise) in first episode edit

The first episode, "Revenge", had a continual problem with the audio. Specifically, it sounds like they needed a microphone windscreen on the microphone to protect against wind noise. I can't find any reference to the problem, but it's obvious to anyone who listens to the episode. Should we mention this ? StuRat (talk) 06:33, 21 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

Is there an explanation for the ending of "The Glass Eye"? edit

It would be nice if there were something in the description of this episode (Sn. 3 / Ep. 1, #79) that explains the very end, i.e. after she discovers the truth about the ventriloquist. At the end we see Billy Barty driving a coach and he turns his head and we see that he now has an eye patch. So what does that mean? The glass eye is supposed to come from the other guy, so why do they show him at the end wearing the patch? It seems to contradict the big reveal just before that. __64.82.141.78 (talk) 00:56, 18 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
