Like route 66, the fugitive, or the incredible hulk, to name a few, each story is unrelated to any other except by the conceptual vehicle of the perpetual wanderer. Like one step beyond or the twilight zone, the hitchhiker himself is not a player in the tales. Occasionally stories involved supernatural forces, but most plot twists stemmed from the dark side of the human spirit. In 1996, the hitchhiker entered into syndication on the usa channel and so was re-edited to remove the violence and/or nudity and sexuality that were featured on the hbo runs (and to make room for commercials).




Originally the hitchhiker was cast with nicholas campbell as the host, but campbell was quickly replaced with page fletcher. In order to preserve continuity during the syndication runs, campbell;s scenes in the first three episodes were later re-shot with fletcher. But because the character of the hitchhiker initially had more interaction with the people in the stories, this caused certain scenes to appear very choppy.
