That's the new Court TV half-hour series set to debut this winter that re-enacts real domestic murders.
The new series will be hosted by cult film director John Waters, dubbed the "Pope of Trash" by writer William Burroughs.

Court TV will re-enact spousal murder cases beginning at a wedding featuring Waters as the groom. Unlike any other Court TV show, "Til Death Do Us Part" is scripted. The viewer will be unaware of who the killer-spouse is until midway through the show.
The show is destined to offend some viewers, especially those affected by spousal murder themselves.

One man who has dealt personally with it said, "My mother was murdered by my father, does that make for good television? Maybe someone like me is too close to the issues of domestic violence and women murdered at the hands of those who promise to love them."
Guidry Tyiska, deputy communications director for the National Organization for Victim Assistance, said after hearing the description of the show, "Domestic violence and domestic homicide can be very dramatic stories, it sounds like this is designed for prurient entertainment. ... My gut reaction is: Yuck," according to the Los Angeles Times.
The host, Waters, is a homosexual best known for directing the 1988 film "Hairspray," which recently was turned into a Broadway musical. But some say that to understand the mind of the man affectionately called the "King Of Puke," you need to look at his other films, such as "Mondo Trasho."
The 1970 film features a main character who is hit by a Cadillac driven by a transvestite and has her feet replaced with the feet of a chicken. Finally, she has a vision of the Virgin Mary in a laundromat.
Another Waters film features deceased transvestite actor Divine eating dog feces. In "Multiple Maniacs," Divine is raped by a giant lobster.

Waters has said his favorite childhood memory "was seeing real blood on the seat of a wrecked car when visiting a scrap yard and fantasizing about lethal car crashes," according to his biography on the Internet Movie Database.
His bio also says he has an obsession with violence and gore, both on screen and off.
"I pride myself on the fact that my work has no socially redeeming value," Waters has said.
He also stated, "Sometimes I wish I was a woman, just so that I could get an abortion."
