[td]==Production==[/td] [td]''Friday the 13th: The Series'' was created by Frank Mancuso Jr. and Larry B. Williams originally under the title of ''The 13th Hour''; the series ran for 72 episodes. Mancuso Jr. never intended to link the television show directly to the [[Friday the 13th (franchise)|''Friday the 13th'' film series]], but utilize "the idea of ''Friday the 13th'', which is that it symbolizes bad luck and curses". The creators wanted to tie-in Jason's trademark hockey mask to the series, but the idea was discarded so that the show could have a chance to exist on its own. Mancuso Jr. was afraid that mentioning any events from the films would take the audience away from "the new world that we were trying to create". The decision to name the show ''Friday the 13th'', over the original title, was made because Mancuso Jr. believed a "''Friday the 13th''" moniker would better help to sell the show to networks.
