Trivia:
Though they share the same title, this series is not linked to the Friday the 13th movie franchise. 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 Vorhees. 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. more
Goofs:
Errors in geography: Although no geographical location is ever given during the run of the series, it was clearly meant to be set in the US, with such things as American currency being used in any scene that involved money, and in one episode, a character saying something about being "in America." Even so, there were often things shown in scenes that clearly identified the location as Toronto, where the show was filmed, or Canada in general. Well known Canadian landmarks such as Casa Loma and part of the Toronto skyline, showing the recognizable Royal York hotel were seen, a train boxcar is shown with the word Canada written across its length in large letters, and vehicles also had Ontario license plates. While most outdoor scenes were kept non-descript, there were several scenes throughout the run of the series where the trio was driving along Yonge Street in Downtown Toronto, which is one of the most recognizable areas of Toronto. Americans who had never been to Toronto would likely recognize the area, just as Canadians recognize well known areas of New York and LA seen in TV shows, even if they have never been there before. These are just a few examples, but there are others as well. more

best show I watched as a kid, 25 November 2005
Author: Michael Markowsky (mmarkowsky@hotmail.com) from United States

I remember watching Friday the 13th the series on a little black and white hand-held television that my father had bought for me when I was 10-13 years old. It used to air at 11:30pm on Sunday nights, and I was supposed to be asleep at the time, so I'd hide under my bed covers and watch it with headphones on. I am not kidding you! I cannot say how many sleepless Sunday nights I had due to being scared out of my mind after watching one of those shows...

Of course that was 15years ago, so maybe I was a little more naive, innocent and impressionable back then. I suppose the fear of my parents catching me up so late watching television added to my anxiety....

I would absolutely appreciate this program being reissued on DVD. I see an online petition has been started, and already dozens of people like myself agree. I am convinced that anyone who actually saw the show when it originally aired wouldn't hesitate to spend a good chunk of change to obtain the whole series. The fact that 15years later, people have such fond memories of this show is surely is a testament to its enduring power and superior quality!
