Friday the 13th: The Series

Though 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.

In 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.

During the end credits, there is a shot of the item featured in each episode.

When 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.
