==History==
Beginning on [[March 14]], [[2007]], the show was given the coveted time slot directly following the [[American Idol]] results show, which led to an improvement in the ratings.<ref>http://www.startribune.com/459/story/1070209.html</ref> On [[November 6]], [[2007]], however, production of the show was halted due to the [[2007 Writers Guild of America strike|2007 Writers' Strike]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://tv.yahoo.com/back-to-you/show/41055/news/urn:newsml:tv.ap.org:20071106:hollywood_labor |title=Production Stops on at least 6 Sitcoms |accessdate=2007-11-06}}</ref> The show went on hiatus on [[November 28]], but returned with a new episode on a special night Tuesday [[March 25]], [[2008]] at 9:30/8:30c. <ref>[http://www.thefutoncritic.com/news.aspx?id=20080219fox01 Breaking News - FOX RETURNS SERIES TO PRODUCTION | TheFutonCritic.com<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> Then on [[April 16]], [[2008]], '''Til Death'' moved again to Wednesday's at 8/7c leading into ''[[Back to You]]''. <ref>[http://www.thefutoncritic.com/news.aspx?id=7558 Breaking News - FOX Overhauls Spring Lineup: New 'House' to Anchor Mondays | TheFutonCritic.com<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>

On [[May 11]], [[2007]] the show was renewed for a second season, which premiered on [[September 19]], [[2007]].<ref>[http://www.tvseriesfinale.com/2007/05/til_death_foxs_brad_garrett_sitcom_renewed.php 'Til Death: FOX's Brad Garrett Sitcom Renewed], [[TV Series Finale]], [[May 11]], [[2007]]{{cite news|url = http://blogs.orlandosentinel.com/entertainment_tv_tvblog/2007/07/fox-announces-p.html|last = Boedeker|first = Hal|title = Fox announces premiere dates; "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?" returns Aug. 30|publisher = [[Orlando Sentinel]]|date = [[2007-07-10]]|accessdate = 2007-07-10}}</ref> On [[May 9]], [[2008]], the series was given a 13 episode order for its third season, while comedy companion ''[[Back to You]]'' was cancelled.<ref name="Season3">{{cite web |url=http://tvseriesfinale.com/articles/fox-cancels-back-to-you-renews-til-death/|title=FOX Cancels Back to You, Renews 'Til Death |accessdate=2008-05-10}}</ref>

==Cast==
{{Inappropriate tone|date=September 2008}}
The show centers around Eddie and Joy Stark, who have been married for ages. They live in suburban [[Philadelphia]], next door to a pair of newlyweds. Eddie and Joy are represented as the more unpleasant couple, known for trading barbs with each other, gloating when right and squabbling. The overly optimistic newlyweds, Jeff and Steph Woodcock, are joined by a fifth major character, Kenny, who joined the cast in the middle of Season Two (Episode #32). In season three's premier epiosde, Kenny's ex-wife Tina makes her debut.<ref>http://www.comedycentric.com/2008/09/06/til-death-season-three-premiere-details/</ref>

*[[Brad Garrett]] as Eddie Stark. Eddie always thinks he's correct over Joy, and always tries to prove that she's incorrect. Eddie can even hold his own when it comes to talking the talk. Eddie's inconsiderateness often puts off people, including his wife. His mistakes, wackiness, and lack of strengths often cause him to make a fool of himself in the end. The fact that Eddie becomes particularly cocky and overconfident in himself at times, makes it even worse for him when he ends up being wrong or goofing up. Eddie has a pedantic side and a great knowledge of history, possibly because he's a teacher. Eddie has a small set of guy friends he's sometimes seen hanging out with. Eddie's full of marital advice for dealing with [[wife|wives]] for his neighbor, Jeff Woodcock. Eddie and Joy have one daughter named Ally, who is in college.

*[[Joely Fisher]] as Joy Stark, Eddie's loving wife. Joy makes valid points, speaks intelligently, and has a talent for making Eddie look wrong and feel guilty. This makes it easy for the audience to assume that she is the sane, logical, and innocent one in the marriage but it doesn't take long before it is revealed that she's as equally badly behaved, wacky, boorish, and off-putting as her husband. She works as a travel agent, as seen in episode one.

*[[J.B. Smoove]] as Kenneth Westchester. Kenny is Eddie's "little brother" from the [[Big Brothers Big Sisters|Big Brother]] program. Kenny is a recent divorcé with a penchant for ice cream and roller-skating. He is also the guy with all the answers (just the wrong kind).

*[[Eddie Kaye Thomas]] as Jeff Woodcock, newlywed next-door neighbor to the Starks. He is the vice-principal at the high school where Eddie teaches.

*[[Kat Foster]] as Steph Woodcock, Jeff's sarcastic wife with a wild past.

===Recurring supporting characters===
*[[Laura Clery]] as Allison Stark, Eddie and Joy's adult daughter (played by [[Krysten Ritter]] during seasons one and two)
*[[Nick Bakay]] as Karl
*[[Anthony Anderson]] as Cofeld
*[[Margaret Cho]] as Nicole
*[[Jerry Lambert (actor)|Jerry Lambert]] as Stan
*[[Will Sasso]] as Russ
*[[Timm Sharp]] as Doug, Allison's boyfriend
