The Crime series that has mass popularity today was also an offshoot from the past. During the late 1950s Alfred Hitchcock produced and partly directed a widely popular television series by the name Alfred Hitchcock Presents. It was literally a series that brought a taste of crime to family dining halls. Each episode was about a crime and its repercussions. Hitchcock himself was the host of the show and presented each episode with flair and in a dialogue that combined mystery and humor.
