what was the name of the 80's tv show where an uncle made a deal with
the devil, and when the uncle died, the objects from his antique shop
became cursed, so there was a younger male and female who were going
out and collecting the objects. what was the name of this show??

Hello.

The show was "Friday the 13th - The Series."


From a newsgroup post archived by Google Groups:

 > Has anyone seen a t.v. show called "Friday the 13th"?
...
        Right.  It existed.   The premise was that an evil man (I
suppose he had sworn allgience to the Devil) owned an antique store.
Each of the antiques was cursed in it's own way and caused all sorts of
problems to the poor souls who bought them.
