Friday the 13th was one of Paramount's first entries into first-run syndication (it began the same year as Star Trek/Next Gen), and it quickly proceeded to find its late-night niche. In terms of horror and on-screen gore, it was remarkably graphic. At the same time, it maintained a strong sense of internal continuity, gave us several well-developed main characters, and after a rocky start, weekly presented an imaginative and interesting "cursed" antique. It can still be seen regularly on the Sci-Fi Channel.
This was one of my favorite shows of the late '80s. It featured a group of pawn shop owners trying to track down antiques that had been sold from their store. The trick was, these antiques had been cursed, and they wound up in the hands of people who more often than not were less than willing to let them go.
Part of the cursed antiques was, for the most part, they gave something in return when death or something horrible had happened. For example, a bunch of tattoo needles could be used to draw a tattoo on someone, and the tattoo would come to life and kill the person it was drawn on, upon which the owner of the needles would be given great fortune/luck. They wound up in the hands of a compulsive gambler who was in tremendous debt. Or a scalpel(which had once belonged to Jack the Ripper) needed to be recharged by killing someone, upon which it could work wonders during medical operations.
I was hooked (and partly obsessed) with this show when it was on, but have been unable to locate it on reruns. If anyone can, please drop me an email!
I look back with fondness at the characters too, with Ryan, the gorgeous Micki, and wise Jack.

F13th: The Series was fresh--with a fresh cast and guest stars every week. The storyline where John D. LeMay left the series has me shaking my head in disbelief to this very day. I think I speak for lots of faithful fans, we were made to feel total disbelief when Ryan regressed to a 10 year old boy. The ending to LeMays' storyline did everything but tie things in a neat package. If anything, it turned lots of fans away. Steve Monarque didn't have a chance. And we can thank the execs of Friday the 13th: The Series for that.
Having said all that, I'd still watch the series from beginning to end. When it was good--it was VERY good!! Need I say more?

My husband and I use to watch it every chance we'd get. Unfortunately, we can't seem to find it any where on re-runs.
I'm hoping to purchase the series on DVD, if available, so that we can enjoy it anytime we wish.
All it takes is one episode and you're hooked! We thought it was going to be more of a horror show and were pleasantly surprised it wasn't. It was a cross between the X Files and Twillight Zone.
We can't understand why more people don't know about this wonderful show. Maybe we'll get lucky and someone will make a movie out of the show. I'd go see it!!!

When I first heard the name of this series back in 1987 I refused to see it. I assumed it was just about Jason killing different people every week--but with no gore (since this WAS TV). What was the point? But I tuned in one night out of curiosity and was surprised how different it was from the movies--and how much I liked it! It was about some antique owners who have to track down antiques each week that had been sold from their store. It seems their uncle (the previous owner) had made a pact with the Devil and the antiques were cursed. Sounds silly but it really worked. There were some doses of pretty funny humor but this show concentrated on the horror. Also it was pretty gory for a TV show at that time--my station didn't show it till 11:30 at night! The acting was good...but it all started to fall apart after season 2. The main actor left and was replaced by someone who just wasn't as good--the third season was a major disappointment. I think that's what killed the show. Still it was a fun, sometimes scary and a little gory TV show. Recommended.

- WissenswertesThough they share the same title, this series is not linked to the Friday the 13th movie series. The main characters search for magically-cursed objects that were sold through their uncle's store. Reportedly, the last item that was supposed to be retrieved by the characters in the series finale was to be a hockey mask which would undoubtedly have belonged to Jason Voorhees. While the show's crew did play with the idea of having a hockey mask in one of the episodes as an in-joke, there was never any serious intention to tie the film series with the television series.
- PatzerIn The Inheritance (1987), Micki and Ryan state that they are only related by marriage. Later on, in Pipe Dream (1988) it was established that Ryan's father, Ray, and Micki's mother, Catherine, were actually first cousins. therefore Micki and Ryan are second cousins and blood relations.

Lewis Vendredi: [to Jack] I'll send you straight to hell!
- Crazy CreditsDuring the end credits, there is a shot of the item featured in each episode.
- Alternative VersionenWhen originally aired in the 1980s, each episode began with a narrative explaining the background of the cursed antiques and how Nicky and Ryan now had to recover the cursed objects previously sold by their Uncle Lewis. In later syndication runs, as well as the extremely rare DVD release, this narrative is omitted from the start of the episodes which begin simply with the opening credits.
