Friday the 13th was cool by Darth Chef	Sep 23rd, 2008 04:30:40 AM
I loved that show as a kid. I would stay up late on Friday nights to watch it. I might have to pick it up!
I might have to pick up FT13th as well... by Kirbymanly	Sep 23rd, 2008 04:49:49 AM
I used to have the biggest kid crush on the redhead.
Egoyan and Cronenberg directing horror on tv? by newc0253	Sep 23rd, 2008 05:34:45 AM
most of the time, Canadian tv sucks ass, but every now and then they get it right.
Parker Lewis by MrGonev5	Sep 23rd, 2008 06:39:06 AM
I'm just waiting for the day that I'll check a dvd release thread and see what parker Lewis is finally coming to dvd. I can't wait...
there almost was a movie connection by Bouncy X	Sep 23rd, 2008 07:04:36 AM
they actually tried to do a jason related story. i think his mask was going to be one of the items they were looking for. not sure how or why that fell through but yeah.
Friday reference by Gislef_crow	Sep 23rd, 2008 07:10:48 AM
Well, also, the family name was Vendredi: French for "Friday." And they filmed in Toronto.
John D. LeMay was in "Jason Goes to Hell", though. by tonagan	Sep 23rd, 2008 07:32:16 AM
Not as the same character, though. Too bad they couldn't have gotten Robey, because then we might have been able to see her disRobey.
Crystal Lake Series by Rex Manning	Sep 23rd, 2008 07:37:09 AM
In the foreword to the the excellent CRYSTAL LAKE MEMORIES book, Sean Cunningham says they are developing a series set at Crystal Lake. No mention if Mr Voorhees stars..

Every week I check for Daria and Andy Richter.
Before I Die... by Aquatarkusman	Sep 23rd, 2008 08:46:10 AM
... I want to meet one person... just one person... who purchased the "Alvin & The Chipmonks: Holiday Gift Set," which includes the indispensable Halloween episode "Trick or Treason." That's more horrifying than the F13th TV series, which scared the shit out of me back in the day.
Yes, Robson Arms is a Canadian series by Chaosinabox	Sep 23rd, 2008 09:05:07 AM
It's a lame-ass prime time soap that tries to be quirky, but is just stupid.
Yeah Herc Jason killing teens every week would be ..awesome? by Circean6	Sep 23rd, 2008 09:55:23 AM
Watch the show Herc, it's pretty cool.
Jason's hockey mask to have been final antique by James_O'Nasty	Sep 23rd, 2008 10:08:59 AM
It was cursed, hence the evil powers bestowed on Jason... the series wasn't picked up again and it ended midway through the third season. Last episode was the Charnel Pit, with a 2 sided Marquis De Sade painting. Throughout the series, they made mention the store was in Chicago, but it was definitely filmed in Canada.
Uncle Louis was fucked up by tme2nsb	Sep 23rd, 2008 10:31:08 AM
That's all I have to say. I used to watch it on Sci-Fi with my dad like in the mid-late 90s...some great memories...the opening sequence used to scare the shit out of me too!
Colbert Christmas by skimn	Sep 23rd, 2008 10:57:35 AM
I was wondering why the writing staff was featured on the Emmys in a Christmas surrounding (the writing staff bit for Letterman, Daily Show, Conan, etc. is always a highlight). Colbert in underwear and shotgun was the capper though.
Friday's Curse? by Charlie & Tex	Sep 23rd, 2008 11:26:36 AM
There was no intention to have Friday the 13th: The Series ride the coattails of the movies, as Mancuso Jr was originally going for titles like "Curious Goods", and had his heart set on "The 13th Hour" - but realised that a show with a moniker like that would be easily dismissed. In the end, he bowed to pressure and logic by calling it "Friday the 13th: The Series". With all the shit flung at the genre by the tabloid press in the UK, this is probably pressed Paramount into retitling it "Friday's Curse" for the video release, keeping the same name for the overnight TV screenings on ITV over here. The show was very enjoyable for the initial run, went downhill come series 2 and was a chunk of shit once LeMay jump ship. I definate dip into the old wallet for this one!

I almost forgot about that show. I liked it.
Still need PARKER LEWIS, MAX HEADROOM & SUPERBOY S2-4 by SpyGuy	Sep 23rd, 2008 01:35:19 PM
Only then will you be allowed to sleep at night.
Who gets paid by Amazon? by Super Nintendo Chalmers	Sep 23rd, 2008 01:38:10 PM
Herc or the site?
freddy's nightmare's by elvirasbuttboy	Sep 23rd, 2008 02:54:22 PM

What happened to Monica Keena? by Flim Springfield	Sep 23rd, 2008 05:02:56 PM
She was SO hot in Undeclared. Why isn't she showing up in any Apatow movies? Did they not like her?
Hey, congress, I could use a bailout! by worldofwarcraft	Sep 23rd, 2008 06:59:46 PM
Looking at this list is such torture. I can't afford anything right now, so I'll just Netflix away, but it's not the same. Although, I did drop a few bucks on Supernatural 1-3, and though it felt pretty irresponsible at the time, just seeing them in my paltry DVD collection pleases me.
Q regarding Supernatural sea. 3 by worldofwarcraft	Sep 23rd, 2008 07:07:08 PM
It comes with a 'digital copy' or something like that. Tells you to go to iTunes and enter a provided code. Now, that means you get a copy of season three from iTunes right? Like the digital file, or whatnot? Will I be able to play said file on my iPhone? And if so, why doesn't seasons 1&2 come with this feature? Or every DVD imaginable, come to think of it. I know someone who Rips all their DVDs then uses some program to play them on his iPod.
Friday The 13th: The Series Is Currently Airing On Chiller Weekd by FilmCritic3000	Sep 23rd, 2008 08:42:06 PM
http://www.chillertv.com It's available on DIRECTV, DISH Network, and other providers. The series still holds up, IMHO, although the last season (with Johnny replacing Ryan) had a lack of chemistry between the two leads.
Fri13 The Series - Weekdays at 8AM & 3PM Eastern on Chiller by FilmCritic3000	Sep 23rd, 2008 08:44:07 PM
Sorry. The subject line of my previous post was cut off.
ROBEY is so HOT!! by Redfive!	Sep 23rd, 2008 09:38:49 PM
The picture quality is crap on the dvd set,but there so much fun to watch it gives it a nostalgic feel.
Redfive, by Kirbymanly	Sep 23rd, 2008 10:37:42 PM
Tell me about it... Its as if they took the original VHS and just copied it
Micki & Ryan...and Jack Marshack! by METHOS	Sep 23rd, 2008 11:32:05 PM
I haven't posted here in awhile, but I just cannot believe f13 The Series is on DVD. Too bad Paramount can't be bothered to do anything special about it for the fan. If you're a child of the 1980s, you probably grew up watching this shit late at night, desperately trying to avoid your mom finding out. Tales from the Darkside, F13. Monsters, 1980s version of Twilight Zone, ST: TNG, I loved my WPWR Channel 50 Chicago, IL! BTW: Check out the first episode and discover that the little girl is played by an incredible young, pre=Munchausen, Sarah Polley! Also this weekend is the 21st (!) anniversary of the series premiere. I remember Cronenberg's Faith Healer episode, but I think my favorites were the "Vanity's Mirror" episodes from season 1 and season 2. Best Wishes,
friday the 13th the series by hellnback	Sep 23rd, 2008 11:55:45 PM
this takes me back to my childhood. wow. finally on dvd. can't wait to get it. back around the time the series was on dvd, i can't remember which magazine it was. fangoria or gorezone. but there was an interview asking if they had any plans on bringing in jason for an episode. there had been an idea, there was no mention of a cursed mask story but that the idea was to have mickey and ryan go to crystal lake looking for a cursed item only to get stuck there with the threat of jason. they thought the whole thing didn't fit with the storyline of the show so they nixed it. what they did do was write and create an episode called "scarecrow". it's the only episode that comes close to the hack and slash stylings of jason. the scarecrow goes after anyone who's picture is put on it's coat. people just kept getting killed with it's scythe from left to right. it's one of my favorite episodes.
Saturday Nights in the 80s. by Redfive!	Sep 24th, 2008 03:18:46 AM
Tales from the darkside,then MONSTERS!,followed by Freddys Nightmares then Friday the 13th the series and to cap it off The 80s Twilight Zone.And yeah they did the exact same to the 80s Twilight Zone,put the entire series out with crap quality picture.But those are amazing to watch.More so the FT13.
And then, unfortunately, Barney left Mayberry... by Kid Z	Sep 24th, 2008 07:32:04 AM
...and suddenly, everything was painted in horrible pastel blues and greens and Sheriff Andy got increasingly boring. Before long, Ken Berry moved to town and it was game over, man, game OVER!
Just wrote an e-mail to Paramount about the quality by Kirbymanly	Sep 24th, 2008 01:53:12 PM
...of FT13th. I mean, we paid close to 40 bucks for this and got second generation VHS. I suggest anyone else who bought this do the same!
Re: Mr. Mcpoops and Freddy's Nightmates by MrGonev5	Sep 24th, 2008 08:13:31 PM
I agree. I'd buy it.
