Friday The 13th – The TV Series
I believe all of us will be very happy if we inherited many things from someone. But how if you find out that all of those things are cursed? 
Friday The 13th The Series tells the stories about the death of Lewis Vendredi, the owner of an antique store, who made a pact with the devil for him to be immortal and worshipping them in return. Things gone wrong as he went two ways. He couldn’t stand it anymore and sacrifice his own life to break the pact.
Unfortunately things are not going well that easy. All of his antiques are cursed by evil. All inherited by Ryan Dallion and Micki Foster, both cousins, and Lewis Vendredi was their uncle. They don’t realize about the danger until Jack Marshak, old friend of Lewis, came by and warned them. Now they have to find all of those cursed antiques that Lewis had been selling to stop the evil from sacrificing human lives.
If you’re Indonesian and still watching TVRI station in 1990, I believe you know Friday The 13th TV Series very well. I remember the first episode that I watched back then. It was the cursed cup of tea. Old woman used the cup to get young again. She must ask someone to drink something from it and the cup will kill that person in exchange for her youth.
The star of this TV series is actually the cursed antiques. It can be anything. From the cup, pen, statue, doll, etc. Ryan, Micki, and Jack have to collect those antiques one by one from anywhere. Sometimes they have to work undercover to reach them. Friday The 13th TV Series has nothing to do with Friday The 13th movie series. They both have totally different story. People in Indonesia might know the TV series a lot better than the movie series.
The main characters in this series are Ryan Dallion played by John D. Le May, Micki Foster played by singer/artist Louise Robey, and Jack Marshak played by Chris Wiggins. John D. Le May was once appeared in Friday The 13th Part 9: Jason Goes To Hell (movie series/1993). Friday The 13th TV Series stretched into 3 seasons from 1987-1990. At the last (3rd) season John D.LeMay character was replaced by Johnny Ventura, played by Steven Monarque.
The official DVD for the 1st season of this TV Series has been released. Paramount Home Entertainment a month ago also announced that February 10th, 2009 is the official release date of the 2nd season. Pirated DVD? Surely, it’s available in Indonesia 
Hilites :
1. This show started as a light and “try not to be so serious” thriller in order to build the early interaction between the main characters. However, after several episodes it got more tense and creepier.
2. The interaction between Micki and Ryan is lovely to watch. They were actually cousins in-law (not cousins by blood) and they met when they’re adults. Sometimes their characters were shown to be attracted (and also jealous) to each other. Many fans expected to see their love interest growing along the seasons but got disappointed when Ryan character’s gone in the last season.
3. The lost of Ryan character proved to be the major disappointment for the fans. Source said that he left the series to pursue other acting roles. Too bad his acting career never took off after his glowing performance in this series. Despite his leaving, this series reached its peak at the ratings on its 3rd season.
4. Several sources said that this show was cancelled of having 4th season due to following reasons :
- This series was made together with the series of War of The Worlds. Made by the same studios and shared the same space. War of the worlds was cancelled so they decided to cut this series as well for the consideration of cost.
- There’s an outcry from the parents and religious groups against violent TV show.
5. John D. LeMay is the only actor who played in this series and also appeared in the Friday The 13th Movie series.
6. There was an idea from the crew to make a hockey mask as the last antiques that supposed to be retrieved by the characters in the series finale. This hockey mask would undoubtedly have belonged to Jason Voorhees, the star villain of the Friday The 13th Movies. However, there’s never any serious intention to tie this TV series with the movie series.

Hiiiii syereeemmm. Gue dulu nonton pertama kali dari episode pertama ttg boneka. Bilangnya Praidei de tigabelas tahun…
Koreksi dikit:
- barang kutukan yg coba dikumpulkan bukan hanya hasil penjualan si uncle Lewis, tapi juga barang yang diobral habis2an sama Ryan+Vicky pd awal kisah. Pas Jack dateng, koleksi barang lebih dari setengah udah dijual sama “duet sepupu” amatir tsb (wong kagak tau sih). Karena merasa bertangung jawab, terpaksa Ryan dan Vicky ikut ngembantuin Jack ngumpulin barang2 antik yg mereka jual sekalian juga yg udah dijual sama uncle Lewis.
- John D. LeMay adalah aktor kedua yg main di film layar lebar dan serial TV. Yang pertama John Shepherd (Tengkyu wikipedia atas usaha mempermalukan Sigit dgn sukses
Boss, suka lagu jepang nggak? Gue ngumpulin beberapa album mp3 tuh di gudang. Kalau suka Jazz-Rock blending dengan campuran unik cobain dengar Tokyo Jihen.
betul pren, si ryan dan micki akhirnya sepakat ngejual barang2x yg tersisa. Tp yg diperlihatkan langsung barang dgn kutukannya saat mreka ngejual ya cuman boneka itu aja (si micki sbetulnya uda bersikeras ga mau ngejual tp dipaksa ama si ryan). Kalo buat yg kedua, hehehe kalo cuman pemeran pembantu (cuman satu episode pula) jgn diitung deh pren
Tp btw, nama Tommy Jarvis emang bener2x berkesan banget. Kalo ga salah dia yg berduel ama si Jason Voorhees 
waduh, lagu jepang yg so far pernah masuk ke kuping gue cuman mayumi itsuwa ama casiopea doank pren
Hahaha…situ bikin komen di gudangku pas aku bikin komen disini.
Soal Tokyo Jihen beda men. Lenny Kravitz, Courtney Love sama Mika aja ngebet pengen ketemu mereka pas nonton video LIVE Tokyo Jihen. Kebayang kualitas musik mereka tuh, terutama pas main diatas pangung. Gue lagi nyari2 video konser Tokyo Jihen nih, baru dapet satu. Soalnya lagu yg dibawain konser lebih mantaf dari rekamannya.
Lho koq ngelantur ngomongin musik Jepang
hehe n’tar deh pren kapan2x lagi senggang gue cari tau deh musik2x mreka
Eh iya nyambung jwban yg di atas, ama satu nama yg kebetulan gue inget, Tatsuro Yamashita. Smoga gue ga salah ngetik namanya 
Suka Casiopea toh. Kalau gitu jadi rada gampang nerima lagu2nya Tokyo Jihen, soalnya lagu2 mereka rada ajaib dan unik, gitu udah kena langsung kecanduan deh. Btw, pertanyaan loe digudang gue udah dijawab. Gila, bela-belain panjang lebar sampai mikir mau bikin artikel tersendiri aja.
Soal pemeran pembantu, mentang2 jadi babu koq nggak dihargai? Bukannya jadi pembantu turut menyumbang devisa negara?
Yup Tommy Jarvis emang tokoh yang duel langsung sama Jason.
Ngomong2 itu Ryan asalnya dari Jombang bukan?
Hiiiii syereeemm, Praidey de tigabelas tahun di Indonesia….
hehe iya dulu jaman sekolah sempet agak simpati ama casiopea mskipun bukan pemerhati mereka. Jazz fusionnya lumayan enak. Huehehe yo’i pren, gue uda baca. Beneran tuh, mending dibikin artikel terpisah
Wah kalo semua pemeran dimasukin jgn2x yg cuman figuran pejalan kaki numpang lewat juga ada pren 
btw, jd mirip piala oscar nih buat mslh pembantu sampe mreka ngeganti nama kategori dr supporting actor/actress sampe actor/actress in a supporting role 
Nah ryan yg versi indonesia jatah elo deh buat ngebikin 
ahh emang cuma untuk kalian ber-2 sahaja
wah wkt itu ga sempet nongton TVRI ya
wah bla-blas ga ngerti ….
jaman 90-an mah aku nontonnya Saint Seiya di RCTI
TVRI ‘mah cuma Dunia Dalam Berita sama Monitor Olahraga (yg bawain Rahma Sarita waktu dia early career) yang aku tonton
hehe wkt itu malah gue belon nongton RCTI
Rahma Sarita yg kalo dr samping cantik banget itu yah … 
Ini film yg bikin gw gak bisa tidur ni Bro, gila ceritanya serem2 sih, musiknya jg mendukung, apalagi yg episode vampir, walah mak…… gw sempet nightmare gt
(
ho’oh, ni serial dulu bikin takut. Dulu yg paling bikin takut yg mreka dikirim berdua ke perkampungan sejenis amish gitu deh. Lupa jg judulnya apa. N’tar deh coba ditonton lagi
nih pelem emang top markotop. serem abis. yang vampir adalah salah satu episode terbaik. dua episode, dan mereka ketemu sama bram stoker beneran, melalui bros yang jadi semacam mesin waktu, yang emang ketemu vampir beneran yang mengilhaminya nulis novel DRACULA. serem abis.
sama episode guci anubis yang bawa mereka ketemu uncle lewis di neraka! serem abis.
terus episode terakhir season 2 yang buat si ryan jadi bayi. freaky…
kayaknya gak ada deh film horror bioskop yang bisa nyaingin film seri ini deh.
mmmm baca komen elo gue jadi rada2x inget nih yg episode vampire. Tp kyknya bukan di season pertama yah. Hehe iya itu episode si ryan jd anak kecil skaligus bikin kuciwa ya, krn stelah itu dia kagak nongol lagi
Favorit gue episode ttg vampire yg ketemu Bram Stoker itu. Habis di shoot tanpa warna, pake item putih doang. Kesannya film kuno dan imajinasinya terbawa ke masa lampau gitu loh.
btw, sampai2 ada episode serial supernatural yang ngambil setting cerita vampire/dracula yang juga di shoot pake gambar item putih. Gue jadi inget serial praidey tigabelas tahun..
wah elo ngikutin serial supernatural ya. Gue cuman sempet beberapa kali doank pas disiarin di trans7 dulu. Skrg kyknya TV indonesia belon ada yg muter lagi yah serial ini…
Ngarepin tipi Indonesia sih mending nonton sinetron deh, pren. Perasaan tuh bajakannya banyak2 aja. Lu bisa nyari dari season 1 sampai 3 koq. usaha dong, usaha!
Dari seluruh serial TV gue ikutin sampai sekarang, yg paling stabil ceritanya (tensinya gak pernah turun) cuma supernatural doang. walaupun kadang diselipin episode iseng buat penyegar. Paling sebel sama Heroes, kualitas ceritanya kayak terjun bebas gitu.
hehehe lagi jaman susah nih pren, pengeluaran buat pilem kudu bener2x diatur. Jadi ya mending nongton gratisan di tipi deh ketimbang beli huehehe
Oh ya? gue pikir Heroes itu msh tinggi rating nya. Gue dulu cuman nongton sebagian season 1 doank sih. Abis ngga bisa ngikutin, kerja gue shifting soalnya. Beli dvd nya? males pren huehehe 
He3
Friday the 13th series, my favorite series ever dah.
top pisan ;D
tapi sayang yah cuma 3 season. padahal endingnya gantung gitu.
tapi dengan berimajinasi, sy bikin fanfic season 4 nya hehehehehehe. udah ampe episode 12 sekarang. ha hahahahaha
episode vampir yang ke masa lalu tuh, season 1 episode 13. Baron’s Bride. cursed antique nya Jubah yang fungsinya memikat wanita dan Bros berlian berfungsi membawa kita ke masa lalu kalao tuh bros kena darah.
episode favorit sy, The Sweetiest Sting, Vanity’s Mirror, Crippled Inside, apa lagi ya????
halo bro Taufik, wah keren nih ada yg nge-fans berat ama serial ini sampe bikin fanfic nya sgala
Iya sayang banget nih serial ga diterusin. Sayang jg si Ryan keluar dr project ini dulu. Btw, kyknya gue inget tuh yg bisa time travel. N’tar deh gue coba liat2x lagi 
Thx bro Taufik uda mampir kemari 
He3
Semalem browsing2 tentang F13 ini gak sengaja nemu blog nya mas singgih. Sumpah sy fans banget ama nh serial.
Tp tidak terlalu suka dgn versi filmnya.
Syang bener memang serial ini harus berakhir. Selain karna John D.Lemay yg cabut shngga penontn kecewa, jg karna banyak kena protes disebabkn ceritanya yg menyangkt iblis, terutama ep. Night Prey [ini salh st epd favo sy juga] yg brng antiknya salib.
Dulu bener2 di batasn banget ya kalo bikin cerita yg sedikit menyinggung keagamaan.
Satu lagi yg unik dr serial ini, adalah para bintang tamunya yg kadang muncul lagi dgn peran berbeda. Ha3.
Sy bhkn br menyadari hal itu belom terlalu lama.
Bravo dah buat friday the 13th
iya bro Taufik, movie seriesnya yg keluar duluan emang ngga ada hubungan ama serial TV nya. Gayanya jg beda. Wah bro Taufik msh inget luar kepala ya ama episode2xnya. Bener2x nge fans abis nih
Ok bro Taufik, bravo buat serial ini, mudah2xan segera cepet keluar jg deh semua DVD nya sampe season 3 
Yap
Bulan 2 br kluar dvd season 2nya yg
Yg namanya favort pasti diinget sepanjg masa
Skalian bernostalgia, dulu kn kalo nontn mesti sembunyi d balik bantal
Yg bikin sy jatuh cinta, adalh karena brg antiknya yg unik dan keren.
Dr yg paling kecil yaitu koin ziocle dan yin yang charm ampe yg terbesar trepanator
Tapi ada juga diantara brng2 antik itu yg bukan milik Lewis. Tapi barang2 tsb memang sudah punya kekuatan jahat. Cnth: snow globe dr s2 epd wedding in black, nazi amulet dr s2 epd the butcher, 3 monkey statue dr s3 epd year of the monkey.
huehehehe gue ingatannya ga seawet itu pren. Keliatannya banyak episode2x yg kudu gue tongton lagi biar inget lagi. Tp bener yg elo bilang, barang2x antiknya asik2x
