A series to die for. True life tales of wedded woe. Get out the confetti, the wedding cake, and the hearse. John Waters (Hairspray, Serial Mom, Pink Flamingos) stars as the Groom Reaper in Love You To Death, the 13-episode, half-hour, anthology series featuring stories inspired by true crimes involving married couples whose once wedded bliss ends in murder.As presenter and narrator, The Groom Reaper, he brings his macabre sensibility and wry comedy to a series of dramatised stories which reveal the real life cases of ill-fated relationships, what they did, why they did it, and how they covered it up. Recalling great anthology series like Alfred Hitchcock Presents and The Twilight Zone, each episode of this dark, edgy, and unique series has a happy ending, John Waters style, with the guilty spouse getting caught in a way he/she never expected. "Such good sickly fun." - The New York Times

True crime fan? You'll love this!
I was so excited when I found this show on DVD. I was devastated when court tv stopped showing it. Absolutely fantastic! And the narrator is so cheesy it just makes the show!

Quirky, Fun, Macabre
If you like John Waters then you will enjoy this 1 season of marriage murders (every episode is of course about one spouse killing the other). 13 episodes of marriage murder, complete with John Waters intro and commentary. Of course, every episode has a bit of a macabre twist, and we love the John Waters appearances (like Alfred Hitchcock). The stories are supposedly based on true life stories, with some poetic license to keep the story fascinating. Each episode is about 22 minutes long (no commercials), and was an enjoyable watch. Recommended for Valentine's day or Halloween or for an anniversary gift!

The fun part being trying to figure out who will kill ...
John Waters campy performance as the Groom Reaper is one of the highlights of the end of CourtTv and the transition to TruTv. This show follows couples after their marriage with one of the two killing the other before the end of the episode. The fun part being trying to figure out who will kill who before it is revealed to you. Everything is based on real events though it is very obviously dramatized and with cheesy jokes. This was obviously a show that would only be able to run for a few seasons before getting old, I just wish it was able to run for more than just the one. Enjoy this campy show while you can.

Dream Wedding Show
...You know if your dream was to have your fiancé brutally murdered. This is honestly one of the more quirky true crime shows out there and it's a blast to watch. John Waters is hilarious as the Groom Reaper, the stories are fun and strange, there's a genuine mystery as to who's going to be the one to do the killing, the acting is really quite superb for a true crime series and to top it all off, you cannot watch this show without smiling. it's funny, insane, enjoyable and a great way to spend an afternoon. If you like your comedy dark, it doesn't get much darker than this

Incomplete product
The DVD's came in a generic solid black case (no picture). There was no indication that this was a used product, but even if it was, I would not have minded if it came in the original box/cover. Since this is my only DVD set with no picture/title cover, I can easily identify it, but I would not order from this seller again, as I don't want to start a collection with no cover or have to make my own.I haven't tried out the DVD's yet. I just hope they at least work when I do.

True, Campy Fun
I watched Til Death Do Us Part: The complete first season on Court TV., before the transformation to Tru TV. The stories of love and marriage gone wrong are bizarre, funny in a macabre way and take on a different light when you realize they are all based on actual events. My only complaint was there was never a second season. John Waters as the Grim Reaper figure was marvelous casting.

So worth it
I am very glad I ordered the entire season. It was good to see some of these episodes again. I even became so intrigued with the stories that I began investigating the true stories-the real stories that inspired them. So far I have found the basis for The Funeral Parlor Murder, The Storage Unit Murder, and A Christmas Murder.you can find the article here[...]

Oddly Mediocre
Waters' appearances are well worth the purchase, but the stories presented are mostly second rate. Good for a few laughs if John is your cup of tea.

great true crime black humour series hosted by John Waters
This is a very entertaining series based on the eventual demise of one partner by the hand of the other, when the honeymoon really is over. The three disc set contains all 13 episodes and is deceptively labelled as the complete first season when really it's the entire series - which is a shame because I could use a whole lot more. The set contains a small booklet which briefly outlines each (approx.) half hour episode, and the limited bonus features include interviews and brief introduction by John Waters. Given the current price, perhaps wait for an affordable re-issue. I was lucky enough to purchase reasonably from an amazon marketplace dealer (under $20). Still this set is highly recommended for fans of true crime, black humour and of course your host John Waters.
