Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Hitchhiker, also known as Deadly Nightmares in the UK, is a mystery anthology series that ran on HBO from 1983 to 1987, and the USA Network from 1989 to 1991.The series' only regular character is an unnamed wanderer called The Hitchhiker, briefly played in the first three episodes by Nicholas Campbell, but most memorably played by Page Fletcher. The Hitchhiker starts each episode by describing its main character and what he/she does, and reappears toward the end, explaining the moral of the character's story, and reiterating how he/she eventually screwed up.Though the series cast a lot of little-known Canadian and American (and later, European) actors, it also showcased lots of established stars and up-and-comers before they became famous, including the likes of Kirstie Alley, Helen Hunt, Willem Dafoe, Brad Dourif, and many others.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The Hitchhiker was a prominent mainstay of the mid-late-1980s mystery/supernatural anthology boom, which also featured The Ray Bradbury Theater, The New Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Tales from the Darkside, and The Twilight Zone. | |

| The Hitch-Hiker / int_8ed5c6e4 | comment |
Asshole Victim: Lots of the main characters are jerks whose fate at the end serves them just right. See: Jerry Rulack in "Why Are You Here," Jane L in "The Legendary Billy B," Jake Purley in "Doctor's Orders," Kurt Hoffman in "Lovesounds," Jack Rhodes in "Videodate". | |

| The Hitch-Hiker / int_b5b3599d | comment |
Amoral Attorney: In "Remembering Melody," it is implied that onetime hippie Ted has become one. Steve (Ken Olin) in "Best Shot" is a particularly Jerkass example of one. | |
