I remember the absurdity and brilliance from the original "Night Stalker" film, with Kolchak hiding in the closet while the title character is hanging up his hat and walking stick....and Kolchak freaking out and running screaming from the room....much to the Stalker's suprise and dismay.
Actually, you're confusing the movie, which was about a vampire, with the episode about Jack The Ripper (I think it was simply titled "The Ripper").
It is a good scene, though. It's probably one of the most honest representations of what someone in such a situation would do. Kind of like the old standby in Asian films where, upon being confronted with a monster, a character wets himself.
Things people would do in real life but you hardly ever see them in movies.
And if you mention Automan again, I will SLAP you. I mean, ye gods man.
Oh, like you didn't play Automan with your Tron toys?
Besides, it had Desi Arnez, Jr. I mean, can you beat that kind of star power?

Kind of wonder why someone has not said Knight Rider
That's because Knight Rider sucked.
Team Knight Rider on the other hand, now that was a great show! I'd rank it up there with M.A.N.T.I.S. and Turbo Teen. Maybe even recent Sinbad series or The Master, with Lee Van Cleef as a ninja (now, whenever I think "ninja", I think "Lee Van Cleef").
True, it's no Manimal, but then again, what is?
