- Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2025This totally took me back to my early childhood. When HBO actually had great shows to watch!
- Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2025I remembered watching these on HBO these growing up, always looked forward to new episodes
- Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2012Alfred Hitchcock Presents meets The Twilight Zone! I got into this show in college and loved it. It is basically an anthology series with moral lessons at the end. I loved Page Fletcher as the hitchhiker/narrator. All the episodes were great. They were suspenseful, spooky, and sometimes supernatural. Check it out if you get the chance-you won't regret it!
- Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2025An old HBO favorite
- Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2024Ordered dvd set. Product arrived super fast in perfect shape!! Thank you so much!! A classic...
- Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2025This 1980’s HBO show was great in the day and perhaps still would be today, but these DVD’s have one major flaw to them — all the episodes are edited, sterilized, scenes removed, adult language and content is all gone, and does NOT include the full original broadcasted episodes. It’s almost unwatchable.

This series continued the 'wandering adventurer' style of storytelling wherein the main character is only a witness sharing his experiences. 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.
There is a little confusion as to how many seasons the show actually ran since season one ran for two and a half years! The Hitchhiker ran for a total of seven and a half years with a ten month break between season one and two, and a two year break between two and three. There were a total of 85 episodes over four seasons on HBO (six seasons on USA Channel). The series is available on DVD in two different versions. The HBO two-disc sets for sale in the US contain episodes that are out of sequence to their original US broadcast order. The Canadian DVD box sets by Alliance Atlantis have the episodes arranged by season in the same order in which they were broadcast in Canada.

GARRETT #79Reviewed in Canada on April 19, 20245.0 out of 5 stars HitchHiker DVD
I wish HBO or whoever owns the HitchHiker DVD franchise would release the Complete Series (85 Episode’s) on DVD/BLU-RAY. But for now this will do. Great seller
