Court TV and John Waters: How Weird Can it Really Get?

There's some weird stuff on television, but I guess Court TV thinks we need something really wacky. You say a half-hour series about true-crime domestic murder mysteries isn't that weird? What if I tould you the host was John Waters? Yep, I had had the same expression. According to the The Detroit News:

Taking a half-step from real courtrooms to "Law and Order"-style dramas, Court TV plans to air a new half-hour series this winter about true-crime domestic murder mysteries hosted by iconoclastic film director John Waters.

The series, called "Til Death Do Us Part," will focus on a single spousal murder in each episode, beginning with a reenactment of the wedding. Waters will serve as the "groom reaper," walking the viewer through each story.

"It has a little bit of irony to it, especially to start at the wedding," said Marc Juris, Court TV's general manager of programming and marketing. "Every bad marriage does have a happy wedding."

What's next? Geraldo's special on Yellow Journalism?
