So True!!

I really like the series - true the name was really just a corporate ploy, but I started watching it at the beginning so it was easy to get into the storyline. If you could get over the name of the show and watch it for what it was, it was pretty good and considering that mainstream TV didn't have much horror series back then it might have helped to pave the way. It did get dumb at the end. The male lead was also the male lead in Jason Goes to Hell.

They will be releasing in on DVD soon

Yippee.

Wasn't the tv series actually based on 2 movies that came out?
I've seen them at the videoshop, and they have the same characters in both of em, ones calles "friday the 13th : the orphan"
and ones called Fridays curse or something...

Maybe those are just episode titles?

They may be, but they are movie length...

supposedly Sean Cunningham is supposed to be working on an idea for a new horror show that takes place on crystal lake

i would watch the series. but yeah it could have had a different title since it had nothing to do what so ever w/ the movies. i liked it

I saw a horror show like that except it takes place in New York and there are all these vacant friends that screw each other. It was scary.

I remember a TV movie between the next to the last and last season. All I remembering happening is Ryan found his mother and got turned into a little kid at the end. Then that other guy took over as they resumed in jumping the shark.
