'Til Death Do Us Part: Carmen & Dave (Courtesy Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
'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".
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.
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.
