1000 Ways to Die is an anthology television series that aired on Spike (now Paramount Network) between May 14, 2008, and July 15, 2012. The program recreates unusual supposed deaths, debunked urban legends, and includes interviews with experts who describe the science behind each death. Up until the end of season one, the final story of each episode showed actual footage of dangerous situations that almost ended in death, along with interviews of those involved in the situations. A portion of these deaths have been nominated for or have received a Darwin Award. Ron Perlman served as the narrator on every episode since the third episode (with Thom Beers narrating the first two episodes); beginning with the episode “Tweets from the Dead”, Joe Irwin was featured as the replacement narrator.
