Francis Cockrell wrote or co-wrote 18 episodes of Alfred Hitchcock Presents: nine in season one, six in season two, one in season three, and two in season four. Five of his scripts were directed by Hitchcock , including "Revenge," the series' premiere. His scripts tend to feature male protagonists and to be more serious and dark in theme than the shows written by his wife, with whom he co-wrote "Whodunit." Cockrell wrote the only multi-part episode in the ten years of the series (the three-part "I Killed the Count") and directed two episodes: "Whodunit" and "The Rose Garden," which featured a script by his wife. Francis Cockrell's nine scripts for the first season helped set the tone for the series.

Between them, the Cockrells had a major influence on determining what kind of show Alfred Hitchcock Presents would be, and they wrote many episodes that are recalled as among the show's best.
