Friday the 13th: The Series

Friday the 13th: The Series or Friday's Curse is an American-Canadian fantasy horror television series that ran for three seasons, from early October 3, 1987, to late May 26, 1990, in the first-run syndication having up to 3 seasons and 72 episodes.
The TV show series follows Micki Foster and her cousin Ryan Dallion, owners of an Antique Store, and their friend, Jack Marshak, as they try to recover Cursed Antiques, to put them into safety in the store's vault.
Originally, the series was going to be titled The 13th Hour, but the producer himself Frank Mancuso, Jr. thought this would turn away the viewers and instead took the name Friday the 13th to deliberately draw in audiences. Despite the exact same title, the series has no story connections to the film series of the same title: Friday the 13th, as local camp crystal laker slasher Jason Voorhees does not make a single appearance, nor does any character connected to the films.30 FUN FACTS TO CELEBRATE THE 30TH ANNIVERSARY OF FRIDAY THE 13TH: THE SERIES The series and the films have several cast and crew ties, however. The show's producer, Frank Mancuso, Jr., was the producer of the film series from Friday the 13th Part 2 (1981) until the final installment distributed by Paramount (Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan in 1989, a year before the TV series ended). 
The TV Series show's star, John D. LeMay, went on to star in Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday, guest star John Shepherd played Tommy Jarvis in Friday the 13th: A New Beginning, and episode director David Cronenberg appeared in Jason X. Fred Mollin, Rob Hedden, and Tom McLoughlin worked behind the scenes of both series.
