Morbid weddings abound on John Waters' new Court TV show


John Waters, the fabulous pencil-mustached director and Baltimorean (my birth city), says his his new series 'Til Death Do Us Part' the first Court TV show in America done with actors based on true crime.
"Its always about a bride or groom that kills one another and you don't know during watching it which one it's going to be until the end," he says during a video interview posted on CourtTV.com. Waters, the creator of such insta-classics as Pink Flamingoes, Female Troubles, Hairspray and Serial Mom, plays the Groom Reaper in the series that premieres Monday (10 p.m. ET/PT).
Waters says in his role as host he plays a sort of "time traveler" who talks to the camera, an observer, watching couples in all their wedded bliss and explaining how the blessed union will eventually result in murder. Click on the links to read articles from The New York Times and USA Today.
