Friday's Curse

Micki Foster

Jack Marshak

Ryan Dallion

Ryan and Micki weren't acquainted until the series premiere. It is also established that none of them had personally met Uncle Lewis. Because Lewis never left a will, Micki and Ryan inherited the antique shop simply because they were the closest relatives.

The fictional address of the shop "Curious Goods" is supposed to be Druid Avenue 666.

Atom Egoyan, David Winning, and David Cronenberg directed episodes. Jennifer Chambers Lynch wrote one as well. Guest stars include Sarah Polley, Fritz Weaver, Colm Feore, Ray Walston, Keye Luke, Carrie Snodgress, Gordon Pinsent, and Vanity.

In the first few episodes of season 1 the shot of the Curious Goods store front has the same woman dressed in white walk by and stop to look in the store window.

In "A Cup of Time", Jack poses as a homeless man and removes a toupee from his head after Lady Die gives him the cup. Posing as a homeless man was a spur of the moment decision after he got to the park and realized Lady Die was there, so he wouldn't just happen to have a toupee since he doesn't wear one normally.

Although no geographical location is ever given during the run of the series, it was clearly meant to be set in the US, with such things as American currency being used in any scene that involved money, and in one episode, a character saying something about being "in America." Even so, there were often things shown in scenes that clearly identified the location as Toronto, where the show was filmed, or Canada in general. Well known Canadian landmarks such as Casa Loma and part of the Toronto skyline, showing the recognizable Royal York hotel were seen, a train boxcar is shown with the word Canada written across its length in large letters, and vehicles also had Ontario license plates. While most outdoor scenes were kept non-descript, there were several scenes throughout the run of the series where the trio was driving along Yonge Street in Downtown Toronto, which is one of the most recognizable areas of Toronto. Americans who had never been to Toronto would likely recognize the area, just as Canadians recognize well known areas of New York and LA seen in TV shows, even if they have never been there before. These are just a few examples, but there are others as well.

Uncle Lewis: [to Jack] I'll send you straight to hell!

Jack Marshak: [to Uncle Lewis, who is attempting to reanimate a corpse] Lewis, you've had your time. You've made your choice. God help you. And now you must abide by that choice.

Ryan: [as Uncle Lewis materializes] Uncle Lewis?
