Thanks, Matt. This is a head scratcher of a release. As you said, if no improvements from the prior release were made, why bother?

I'd much rather see a HQ release of the complete TV series either SD or BD.

If they were going to include those episodes in this set, why not remaster them and release them on a Blu-ray? That way, there could have been more episodes fit onto each disc including some of the most famous ones which have been omitted here.

Thanks for a wealth of great info...I will be getting this new reissue set, and like a lot of us, giving away previously acquired single BD's to friends and family...the price point still makes sense for me as I hadn't previously purchased most of them...glad to see that the transfer for Man Who Knew Too Much is improved, at least somewhat, in this new set...I'm very glad that I got the R2 Fabulous Films releases of all 3 Hitchcock Hour seasons, the slight PAL speedup doesn't bother me and they look stunning for the most part...and I also got the rest of Hitchcock Presents (S7 and single sided S1) that have yet (never?) to be released in R1...
