Friday the 13th: The TV Series

"Lewis Vendredi made a deal with the devil, to sell cursed antiques. But he broke the pact, and it cost him his soul. His niece Micki, and her cousin Ryan, have inherited the store, and with it, the curse. Now, they must get everything back, one by one, and the real terror begins."

The 1st season (1987) of the series is now out on DVD, featuring episodes with auteurs like David Cronenberg and Atom Egoyan. Friday the 13th the TV Series is scheduled on an occasional basis on SYFY's Chiller TV channel.

Although there have been no new episodes since season 4, the SCIFI Channel (now SYFY) announced a new series "WAREHOUSE 13" starting 7-7-09, in which two government agents (Eddie McClintock & Joanne Kelly) are sent to retrieve weird & mysterious artifacts for a secret government warehouse under the desert. Among the items that "threaten to ruin the world's day" are: a comb owned by Lucrezia Borgia and a samurai sword that can split light. Pilot episode
"After saving the life of the President, 2 Secret Service agents find themselves abruptly transferred to Warehouse 13 -- a massive top-secret storage facility in windswept South Dakota that houses every strange artifact, mysterious object, fantastical object and supernatural souvenir ever collected by the U.S. government. The Warehouse's caretaker Artie (Saul Rubinek) charges Pete Lattimer and Myka Bering with chasing down reports of supernatural and paranormal activity in search of new objects to cache at the Warehouse, as well as helping him to control the Warehouse itself." Pete & Myka are the only residents of "Leena's Bed & Breakfast" which was built when the Warehouse was. Leena (Genelle Williams) is also its sole employee, and has the useful ability to read the auras of both people and strange objects brought to the Warehouse. Artie's (classified) boss is Mrs. Frederic (CCH Pounder). CCH Pounder played Capt. Claudette Wyms for 7 years on The Shield, Dr. Angela Hicks on NBC's ER, and Agent Lucy Kazdin on The X-Files. She was also in the movies Tales From The Crypt and Robocop 3. Saul Rubinek was previously a regular on "The Equalizer" and guest-starred in Eureka, Psych, Star Trek:TNG, The New Outer Limits, and Lost.

Friday the 13th marathon of episodes on Friday the 13th of March 2015
starting with episode "Demonhunter" (1989) @ 7am EST

Warehouse 13 had new episodes starting mid-April, 2014 (final season)

After Friday the 13th Part 6, it looked like the movie series had run its course and a new, syndicated TV series by the same title was created. No relation to the movie series, the TV series was about a man and his two young friends who take over an antiques shop that had been selling cursed objects. Lewis Vendredi's niece (rock singer Louise Robey, listed in the credits simply as Robey) inherited the store, renamed Curious Goods. With help from cousin Ryan (John D. LeMay, replaced in the final season by Steven Monarque) and retired stage magician Jack Marshak (Chris Wiggins), they track down the cursed objects and lock them in the basement vault.

Each item has a different mode of operating, but all require a human victim to be killed in return for something. For example, in "Doctor Jack," a scalpel once used by Jack The Ripper allows its user to save the life of any patient, no matter how close to death. But in return, the surgeon must first go out and kill someone for each life he wants to save. In "The Playhouse," a couple of kids start killing after getting a cursed dollhouse. And so on. Come to think of it, there's a lot of killing in the TV series too, most of it just happens offscreen to keep a PG-rating. The series won two silver medals (in 1988) in the International Film and TV Festival in New York, for episodes "Faith Healer" and "The Baron's Bride"
78 syndicated episodes
