'Til Death Do Us Part (also known in Canada and Australia as Love You To Death) is a television series that debuted on Court TV on March 19, 2007; not to be confused with the similarly-named Fox sitcom 'Til Death.
'Til Death Do Us Part goes by the motto "To Love, Honor, and Perish".
[edit] Format
The series is is narrated and hosted by cult film director John Waters, who plays as "The Groom Reaper." The scripted program reenacts real-life courtroom stories involving marriages and families whose seemingly picture-perfect lives ends in a murderous way. The series has a Tales from the Crypt-like setting, with each episode lasting 30 minutes. At each end of an episode, John Waters would say "I have another wedding to go to, but I hope it won't be yours".
After 15 minutes of the show, Court TV would allow viewers to text message a guess on who would be the killer. Each re-enactment is directed to be intentionally over-the-top, complete with overacting and cringe-worthy dialogue.
Court TV's commercials promoting the show parody the DeBeers diamond television ads, through the use of silhouettes and dramatic background music.
[edit] Production
'Til Death Do Us Part is filmed in Canada as a co-production between Court TV and Canada's Global Television Network. The show debuted in Canada on Global on March 21, 2007, under the title Love You To Death.
