1000 Ways to Die (season 1)

The TV show 1000 Ways to Die originally aired on the cable channel Spike, and will reaired on Paramount Network in the future.
== Season 1 ==
The first two episodes of Season One served as the series' two-episode pilot. They were executive produced and narrated by series creator Thom Beers, and directed, co-written, and produced by Will Raee and co-written by Tom McMahon. Both episodes begin with the following disclaimer:
"The stories you are about to see are true and based on actual events. Names have been changed to protect the identities of the deceased."
"WARNING: The deaths portrayed in this show are real and extremely graphic."
The disclaimer then cuts to a scene of a city at night, followed by images of various manners of death, either from episodes or file footages, while the voice-over reads the monologue, which appears in "comic-book" style (comic font inside yellow boxes, as in a comic book):
The first story begins with the opening screenshot drawn as a comic, which fades to the live action. The narrator gives an account of the story as it unfolds, describing the circumstances leading up to the death and details of the death itself. The story is interspersed with expert testimony from physicians and scientists about the science of the death (what happens to the body, etc.). The story ends with another comic screenshot, over which the "Way to Die # " and the nickname for the death is typed over the image in black and red "True Crimes"/"Sin City"/"comic" font.

Originally aired May 14, 2008.
Death #	"Event"Name 	Circumstances of Death
208 	Semi-cide (a.k.a. Semi Crushed) 	A man is run over and cut in half by an 18-wheeler while working under his car in a parking lot. His upper body and legs are accidentally sent to separate hospitals, making the medical crew lose some time. The man dies of pain and exsanguination.
422 	Constriction Accident (a.k.a. Buried Alive)	A construction worker who comes to work drunk arrives with a hangover. He accidentally activates the dumping mechanism and buries a fellow worker under three tons of sand, killing him via crush asphyxia.
92 	Fang Banged (a.k.a. Once Bitten) 	A drunk man is shot at by his equally drunk brother. When he ducks to avoid the bullet, he falls onto a rattlesnake, which bites him near his heart, and he dies from the snake's venom.
832 	Lesbocution (a.k.a. Electro-Cutie) 	After being involved in a series of bad relationships, a woman decides to become a lesbian. While going home to have sex with a female friend to celebrate her coming out, the woman takes off her high heels, steps barefoot into a puddle with a live wire in it and is electrocuted.
125 	Love Bugged (a.k.a. Loathe Bugged) 	A reclusive French amateur entomologist and herpetologist is bitten by his black widow spider in a misguided attempt to build an immunity to its venom. Electing to ride out the symptoms of his latrodectism, he suffers a fatal heart attack, knocking over his reptile tanks as he collapses. The released animals then feed on his corpse for a fortnight before it is found by police.
640 	Tumble Die (a.k.a. Baked Out) 	A repairman is accidentally trapped inside an industrial clothes dryer and dies of being battered around and excess heat within minutes causing hyperthermia.
=== Episode 2: Hard Lives, Easy Deaths ===
Originally aired May 21, 2008. Note: This is the first episode not to feature the death of a female.
Death #	"Event"Name 	Circumstances of Death
293 	Freeze Died (a.k.a. Frost Dead) 	A man working at a mafia-owned South Philadelphia meat packing company is deliberately locked in a walk-in freezer out of revenge for stealing cuts of meat and getting his employer's 17-year-old granddaughter pregnant, dying of hypothermia.
713 	Dive Bombed (a.k.a. High Die) 	A group of friends fly themselves home from Cabo San Lucas in a private plane shortly after going scuba diving. At 12,000 ft, they all suffer from decompression sickness and crash, causing the plane to explode and kill everyone aboard.
91 	De-Coffinated (a.k.a. Casket Away)	A land dispute between two brothers in Haiti ends with one brother asking a witch doctor to poison the other with tetrodotoxin, causing paralysis. Believed to be dead, the poisoned brother is buried alive, and his cadaver is later found by grave robbers, after he has suffocated. Shortly before his death, the brother tried to claw his way out with his fingers, wearing them down to the bone.
606 	Wet Dream (a.k.a. Dead Heat) 	A German librarian who wants to live like a fish constructs a fish suit out of waterbed material and attempts to use it. Unfortunately, the suit is so constricting, that he cannot get into the water fast enough. It also renders him unable to sweat, and due to the very hot weather of 36º Celsius, the extreme heat starts to sear into the man's body, and soon the excess heat begins to percolate from within his body when his body temperature reaches a deadly point of 42º Celsius. As a result, he dies from heat exhaustion caused by a fatal combination of fever, hyperthermia and hyperpyrexia just inches away in front of the lake.
112 	Fur Burger (a.k.a. Chow Ground) 	In the 2nd century, one method of execution was wrapping the victim in freshly killed animal skins, tying them to a tree, and leaving them to be eaten alive by whatever carnivore happened to be in the area (in this case, a flock of vultures, despite the fact they are scavengers).
Shot months after the pilot, the remaining episodes of the first season were executive produced by Thom Beers who also created the series. Season One was written and directed by Tom McMahon. The third episode also debuted a new narrator, actor Ron Perlman, instead of Beers, who previously narrated the pilot episodes.
The episodes in the rest of Season One, while maintaining the "tongue-in-cheek" story-telling aspect of the first two shows, vary in formatting compared to the pilot. The "comic-book" styling is completely gone, as are the trivia bits between segments. Each episode opens with a voice-over by the narrator giving brief summaries of upcoming deaths, accompanied by clips. This fades to a more ominous version of the previous disclaimer: white wording on black background, while a deeper, echoing voice-over reads:
The disclaimer then cuts to animation depicting human figures encountering various deaths, while the voice-over reads (Note: only the ALL CAPPED words are illustrated):
This introduction cuts to a screenshot of the "victim", framed by gray grainy film art, and information appears as being typed out onto screen: "DATE" and "LOCATION" (Typing in the ¨Dirty Ego¨ font) . The stories are played out as in the "Pilot Season", but end as they began, with a different screenshot of the "victim" (this time, they are usually dead), again framed in grainy film art, over which the "Way to Die # " and the nickname for the death typed over the image in yellow and red text in the "True Crimes" font. Two stories are shown in this manner, then an outro to the commercial says, "Coming up:" followed by brief, clever descriptions of upcoming deaths. This is usually repeated twice. After the last commercial break, the real-life story is shown, followed immediately by the end credits, which appear as white spray-painted bold letters on a grainy film background, backed by heavy metal music.
