Fall 2006 New Shows Rank: #18
Gist of the Show:
The comedic juxtaposition of a long married couple with a pair of newlyweds. 'til Death sees both couples learn and grow from the example of the other. Yech.
Cast Member Looking To Reclaim Former Glory:
Brad Garrett. After playing second fiddle to Ray Romano for years, Garrett gets his first chance to prove he can be the star. I remain skeptical.
Similar in Theme to:
"Father of the Bride"
Time Slot Competition:
My Name is Earl, Survivor, Smallville. Good luck.
Likelihood of Second Season:
1.8%
Final Word:
FOX goes back to the well with another attempt at a domestic sitcom. The buzz on 'til Death has been bad, numerous critics placing it with onerous “Worst New Show� title. 'til Death will continue the trend of supporting characters from wildly popular TV comedies failing in their attempts to become the star of a show.

Why do they say all that stuff at weddings about "sickness and health, richer and poorer, for better or for worse, 'til death do you part?" They say it because things are better, and a lot of times, things are worse. At some point, you're both gonna get sick, you might be poor, and you'll never sleep with anyone else ever again ... because you're gonna be with each other until you die. Doesn't marriage sound like fun?
