Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Thriller is a British television series, originally broadcast in the UK from 1973 to 1976. Originally screened late night in the US under the ABC Wide World of Entertainment in 1978 there were 6 seasons -------This is NOT the Boris Karloff Series.------- UPDATE April 7 -I'm THRILLED!!!, just got my copy in the mail, there are no extras as commentaries, but there are 13 discs (not 12 as shown in the Amazon specs) in 2 separate packages, Series 1 -3 (23 mystery movies 0n 7 discs) and series 4-6 (20 mystery movies on 6 discs),there are 3 or 4 episodes per disc 61 - 67 minutes each. A quick glance at the first disc shows a very pleasant interactive menu, showing a scene of each epsode. I checked the first show, and there was Barbara Feldon, looking absolutely gorgeous, like she did on Get Smart, and it is such a treat to hear both British and American accents together, the audio quality is superior and the video quality is also very good. One excellent feature, on the back of each case, there is a full episode guide with a recap of each show, and the episode titles used on the back cover are the British titles. From Amazon.Com Season 1 descriprion: Positively Hitchcockian, with a liberal dose of the supernatural, nothing is what it seems in each feature length episode of THRILLER. Witches, serial killers, ghosts, con-artists, Satanists and terrorists are just some of the villains involved in the outlandish plots, the unexpected twists and the even more surprising endings. But it's what you can't see--the sinister atmosphere, the almost unbearable tension--that makes this one of television's most terrifyingly enjoyable shows ever. The stories are often set in the English home counties, but most episodes, especially from the second season onwards, feature at least one American character, usually portrayed by an American guest star, in order to appeal to the American market. In 1978 some episodes were retitled for US syndication and all had additional opening sequences shot, with new titles and credits Some of the more notable guest stars were Barbara Feldon(Get Smart), Linda Thorson(The Avengers), Donna Mills, Judy Carne{Laugh-In}, Polly Bergen, Hayley Mills(Disney Superstar), Stephen Rea, Helen Mirren, George Maharis(Route 66), Linda Day George, Richard Todd, Pamela Franklin, Diana Dors, Judy Geeson(To Sir With Love), Carrol Baker, Carol Lynley, Edd Byrnes(77 Sunset Strip), Tom Conti, Bradford Dillman and Bob Hoskins. A particular trademark of the series' storytelling was to hook the viewer with a simple yet totally baffling situation Some of the more notable episodes: "Come Out Come Out, Wherever You Are" takes place at a creaky country house hotel where a female guest begins asking where her travelling companion has disappeared to. The owner claims there was no such guest with her upon her arrival last night "Screamer" concerns a rape victim who murders her attacker only for the man to then to be seen everywhere stalking her. "The Double Kill", concerns a man hires a hitman to kill his wife, but makes a fatal error in his otherwise meticulous planning. "Someone at the Top of the Stairs", one of a handful of forays into the supernatural, in which two female students move into a boarding house and begin to notice that none of the other residents ever go out or receive any mail, "I'm The Girl He Wants to Kill", in which a witness to a murder finds herself trapped in a deserted office block overnight with the killer and is forced to play a deadly game of cat and mouse with him to survive, there is barely any dialogue throughout its second half.
