   Another show we don’t watch. We ARE watching reruns of Alfred Hitchcock presents. Interesting show. One of the few things for which we can’t predict the ending — probably because Hitchcock often doesn’t actually include an end. The show just stops. I can predict most endings … but not NO ending.

      I loved, and still do, love the old Alfred Hitchcock Presents TV show. I know that most specialised in the O. Henry type of twist ending or, as you pointed out, the non-ending where proceeding just grind to a halt leaving the viewer dangling. Of course the epitome of the latter was The Birds. I love The Walking Dead. Not to the extent of, say, Breaking Bad, but I get so involved in these survivors and their struggle to keep going. But it is one of those shows that took me ages to get into because while living in England I missed the pilot episode and kept trying to watch it to get in sync. I agree, “no endings” are very hard to predict! 🙂
