The World's Most Amazing Videos is a reality television show similar to Real TV and Maximum Exposure. Like these shows, it showcases accidents, disasters, police chases and other extraordinary events that are caught on video camera, and few videos with deaths are shown. Although it is similar in content to Maximum Exposure, it takes a more serious tone. The show originated on NBC as a timeslot filler program. A new series of episodes of the show were created in 2006 first-run for SpikeTV, after a six year hiatus from the NBC stint.[1]
As of September 2007, the show now is shown on Spike. Until very recently, most episodes of the show were narrated by Stacy Keach. The 2008 season was narrated by Erik Thompson. The show is shown in the U.K. on the two channels Virgin1 and Bravo. In Australia, it is shown on the pay-TV channel FOX8.
In the second season of broadcast in England, Lee Boardman was the narrator.
