It was way back long ago, I was just a kid but I still remember his programs; they were mysteries and he was absolutely the master of irony.
In one episode a man was apparently murdered by being hit over the head with a blunt object. His distraught wife called the police who were sympathetic and became friendly with her. They stayed for dinner to console her and keep her company, since there was a big roast cooking when they arrived, which was a big leg of lamb that had been in the freezer and had been cooking since morning. They ended up eating the evidence.
I've been "collecting" these image logos for the past few months... have seen some really neat ones. Does anyone have any knowledge of an archive page or something to that end of all the various "Google Logos"?

Mary Maloney is a devoted wife and an exceptional housekeeper. One day, he husband, the police chief, announces that he wants a divorce because he has met another woman. Mary is quite angy and kills him with a blow from a frozen leg of lamb. She calls the police and provides and alibi for herself with the story that she'd been out to the store when the murder took place. The investigating officer, Lieutenant Noonan is further frustrated when he cannot to find the murder weapon. Knowing of the long and hard hours spent looking into the case, Mary invites Noonan to the other investigators for a bite to eat. They dig into Mary's leg of lamb and Noonan still thinking about the missing murder weapon says "For all we know, it might be right under our very noses."

1958 Emmy Nomination: This episode garnered Roald Dahl an emmy nomination for Best Writing of a Single Program of a Dramatic Series (Less Than One Hour).
This episode is based on the short story "Lamb to the Slaughter" by Roald Dahl. This story was first published in Harper's (September, 1953).

Roald Dahl wrote 6 of the scripts for Hitchcock's TV show. The episode Marcia refers to is "Lamb To the Slaughter." Remember, Hitchcock was a director, not a writer.
Due to the exposure, I have gotten over 55,000 hits so far today (my daily average is around 2000.)
Really cute with the bird on his head.
I've had a flash that the bird might be the dreaded Foo bird [webmasterworld.com]. ;)
Birds was the most of Hitchcock's obsessions.
When he was a child, he was forced to pick chicken eggs at the family farm. He hated this, because he had to wake early, and I wont mention the smell.
You can see a lot of bird hate and egg crushing in a lot of Hitchcock's TV and movies.
Just play those old tapes again...
Visit Thailand, maybe it is just a question of backlinks. HM the Queen of Thailand probably has less than Hitchcock.Personally, I have seen some movies by him but never heard of the Queen. I think most people outside Thailand are the same.
Whether or not the last sentence is true I do not want to debate.
Some might say though that for a Global Search Engine which feeds information to people all around the world 'people not knowing' may make it an even more important reason to feature such things.
Official tally for unique visitors - 77,057. Pretty impressive, just from a Google logo ;) His usual daily visitors is about 2000.
Sinner_G, we probably have more backlinks than possibly all the queens and kings out there put together, and get more pageviews, too. Next month is my birthday - September 5th - do you think Google will put a logo up for my birthday? I betcha they won't. ;)
do you think Google will put a logo up for my birthday?
Try sending them a pic of you with a seagull on your head, it might work (and I want a copy too) :).
Nice logo. Wonder how many will know what it is
Probably anyone over 45. That profile was his trademark.
I, of course, am far too young to remember that, but my older friends tell me the above. :)
Um, I'm much less than that, but still recognised that logo.
At first I thought, "Naaah, can't be", but it was!
Glad to know Hitch's birthday is a holiday!
