Synopsis

Celebrity Deathmatch is a claymation television show that depicts celebrities against each other in a wrestling ring, almost always ending in the loser's gruesome death. It was known for its excessive amount of blood used in every match and exaggerated physical injuries. The series was created by Eric Fogel; with the pilots airing on MTV on January 1 & 25 1998. The initial series ran from May 14, 1998 to October 20, 2002, and lasted for a 75-episode run. There was one special that did not contribute to the final episode total, entitled "Celebrity Deathmatch Hits Germany", which aired on June 21, 2001. Professional wrestler Stone Cold Steve Austin gave voice to his animated form as the guest commentator. Early in 2003, a film based on the series was announced by MTV to be in the making, but the project was canceled by the end of that year. In 2005, MTV2 announced the revival of the show as part of their "Sic 'Em Friday" programming block. Originally set to return in November 2005, the premiere was pushed back to June 10, 2006 as part of a new "Sic'emation" block with two other animated shows, Where My Dogs At and The Adventures of Chico and Guapo. The show's fifth season was produced by Cuppa Coffee Studios and the premiere drew over 2.5 million viewers, becoming MTV2's highest rated season premiere ever.

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
Celia A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Marcus Geebs I remember back in the day, I used to watch this show every time it came on. This show is pretty cool because its the only show that you can see celebrity's fight one another. The announcer's had the most of the comedy but the stars had more of the intense violence and it's shocking to see that it's a show only for teenagers for that type of violence it shows. Some episodes however were to live on and some were at least to say to be blown up in smithereens. The battles are really funny, and well written, but there is a few episodes that are actually pretty nasty in certain ways. I remember there was this pattern in the show. Usually, the celebrity that seemed to be winning at first, always ended up as the loser.
jts0405 Rockstars, Movie Stars, Baseball Stars, Basketball Stars, Rap Arists, Wrestlers, and Boxers. They have it all. Celebrity Deathmatch is a show where you can switch off your mind for a half hour and watch popular people duke it out. Just like Ray Charles when he went one on one with Jamie Foxx, Chris Farley vs. Horatio Sanz, Adam Sandler vs. Ben Stiller, Stone Cold Steve Austin actually was on the show for a while and during the time he was on he fought his real wrestling rival Vince McMahon. Everybody has been on this show once or twice. If you look back at it Charlie Sheen was on there twice he fought Woody Harrelson, and then before that fought some guy but I don't remember. This show is one of my favorite shows of all time. Heck they even had Beavis vs. Butt-Head on here before. This show has ran from 1998 to now. One of my favorite CDM matches had to be the new seasons Ben Stiller vs. Adam Sandler, they are two of my favorites and it really went well. Another favorite of mine was the Charles Manson vs. Marilyn Manson. That was a good one. I still think Charles should have kicked Marilyn's butt.
Greatwhitewhale 2 Celebrities (or more). Beat the crap out of each other in the ring. And the celebrity who kills the other wins. That's pretty sick so why is it good?Probably because it's a show that concentrates on trying to make it funny as well as violent. It's quite a satirical show as it pokes fun at the world of celebrities and the celebrities themselves. (Movie stars act like famous characters they play, sports people usually fight like they play that sport). They also got their own characters. Johnny Gomez and Nick Diamond the commentators who get into situations during the show. Stacy Cornbred the backstage reporter, Mills Lane (though he's real) the referee. So it's a pretty fun show.I'll never forget the first time I saw this show. It was the sci-fi special. Celine Dion was performing the national anthem and they poke fun at how she sings. Then Keith Flint from Prodigy comes in with a chair and whacks her with it. Then Celine Dion battered Keith till she pulls his head off and swallowed it whole. She turned into an alien and went into Don King's head. And I wanted to see more. And before I knew it, I saw David Duchovny and Gillian Anderon vs. Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith, Jim Carrey vs. Mariah Carey, Quentin Tarantino vs. Spike Lee, Backstreet boys vs. Beastie boys, 3 Stooges vs. 3 Tenors and more!So great show, see it unless you're faint-hearted.
TMC-4 Celebrity Deathmatch can be entertaining and is inventive with the way it can take various attributes that lie within celebrities and taking them a step further along with the numerous gags. The show will occasionally throw in some type in joke about the celebrities in the process of the fights. While Celebrity Deathmatch makes numerous references to particular movies, television shows, etc., there seems to be a certain restraint in these areas. Rather then attempt to be a hard hitting satire of the way the entertainment industry functions and the various topics that surround it, episodes tend to break down into an assortment of typical parodies of movies and television shows that rely heavily on sight gags (which at times can be fairly predictable) and puns.
