The New York Times Ginia Bellafante

Good sickly fun.

Entertainment Weekly Mandi Bierly

The premise is promising. Too bad the poorly-acted premiere is a snooze. [23 Mar 2007, p.55]

New York Post Linda Stasi

What I like about this series is that it is anti-slick and anti-pretty.

Washington Post Tom Shales

" 'Til Death Do Us Part" would be sort of ultimately ordinary, the very definition of a negligible trifle, if Waters weren't lurking around.

Newsday Diane Werts

The stories may hardly be innovative... but their very familiarity becomes comforting.

Wall Street Journal Nancy DeWolf Smith

It's all done in an over-the-top, low-budget sort of way.

Chicago Sun-Times Doug Elfman

It's not a great show, but it's a good concept.

Boston Globe Matthew Gilbert

" 'Til Death Do Us Part"... almost contains enough comically clumsy filming and overacting to achieve camp. Almost, but not quite enough, even with Waters doing his twisted Rod Serling bit.

Hollywood Reporter Ray Richmond

It isn't that "Death" is terrible. It's just too broad to be taken seriously.

New York Daily News David Hinckley

Waters may kill me, but the rest of "'Til Death" doesn't have the same pitch-perfect tone.

People Weekly Tom Gliatto

It's Court TV's first original scripted drama, and it's bad. [16 Apr 2007, p.43]

Variety Brian Lowry

It's a new twist on an old-fashioned anthology, though the endings are only vaguely macabre or surprising, while the murders and sexual situations are trashy but too poorly executed to qualify as titillating.

What is the name of the composer and title of the Cello composition on your tv commericals "til death do us part?

rosemary c. gave it a10:
I love this show!!! I am not a huge tv watcher but I think this show is funny and dramatic at the same time!!!

Chris W. gave it a7:
Entertaining and darkly whimsical. It reminds me of murder mystery shows of the past and Jon waters is the perfect choice as the host.

Franki S. gave it a10:
I love the surprise ending. Need more reruns not only on Mondays

Anne C gave it a0:
Horrible! John Waters is sickening - it makes me throw up to see the ads which are in the worst taste. Depicting marriage negatively in the ads, as well as the frequency with which ads occur makes me hit the remote, and I always love most everything on Court TV!

ANGELA J gave it a9:
Love John Waters narrating. It's kind of Twilight Zoneesque. I like the short 30 minute stories. I watch the show every chance I get.

Abe V. gave it a1:
This show is so bad. It tries to be tongue-in-cheek but it does not work. Really cheesy stories and cheesy acting. It does not belong on CourtTV. It belongs on Wifetime TV. It's that bad. It annoys me that CourtTV plays it so much.
