Timeslot? edit

It's a little hard not to notice that the episodes of season two of The Alfred Hitchcock Hour aired on the same days as the episodes of season five of The Twilight Zone, which begs the question: which show's episodes aired earlier than the other's?

Wikipedia's season-five page for The Twilight Zone pages is very forthcoming with its information.  It says, "The fifth and final season of The Twilight Zone aired Fridays at 9:30–10:00 pm (EST) on CBS from September 27, 1963 to June 19, 1964" (source).

But, Wikipedia's pages on Alfred Hitchcock Presents/The Alfred Hitchcock Hour are less forthcoming.

Firstly, there is no actual page for The Alfred Hitchcock Hour.  It just redirects to this list, which in turn merely notes that the series was on NBC.

The page for Alfred Hitchcock Presents is slightly more informative, but not really.  That page merely says:

Alfred Hitchcock Presents, 25 minutes long, aired weekly at 9:30 on CBS on Sunday nights from 1955 to 1960, and then at 8:30 on NBC on Tuesday nights from 1960 to 1962.[citation needed]  It was followed by The Alfred Hitchcock Hour, which lasted for three seasons, September 1962 to June 1965, adding another 93 episodes to the 268 already produced for Alfred Hitchcock Presents.[citation needed]

Frustrating, right?  It gives the timeslot for Alfred Hitchcock Presents, but not for The Alfred Hitchcock Hour.

So, anybody know in what timeslot The Alfred Hitchcock Hour aired (particularly the second season)?

If so, please improve this page by adding said information.

Thanks in advance,
