Celebrity Deathmatch
Celebrity Deathmatch is a claymation television program that pits celebrities in a wrestling ring, nearly usually resulting in the grisly death of the loser. It was notorious for the amount of blood utilized in each bout and the exaggerated nature of the injuries. Eric Fogel produced the series, which premiered on MTV on January 1 and 25, 1998. The initial series aired for 75 episodes from May 14, 1998 and October 20, 2002. "Celebrity Deathmatch Hits Germany," which broadcast on June 21, 2001, was one of the specials that did not count toward the final episode count. Stone Cold Steve Austin provided the voice for his animated form as a guest commentator. MTV reported early in 2003 that a film based on the series was in development, however the project was canceled by the end of 2003. MTV2 announced the show's comeback as part of their "Sic 'Em Friday" programming block in 2005. As part of a new "Sic'emation" block with two other animated episodes, Where My Dogs At and The Adventures of Chico and Guapo, the premiere was pushed back to June 10, 2006 from its original November 2005 date. Cuppa Coffee Studios produced the fifth season of the show, and its debut attracted over 2.5 million people, making it MTV2's highest-rated season premiere ever.
