Synopsis

World's Most Amazing Videos is a reality television series that showcases accidents, disasters, police chases and other extraordinary events that are caught on video camera. These videos normally shown anybody involved in these aforementioned incidents survive nonetheless. Although it is similar in content to the other series Real TV and Maximum Exposure, it takes a more serious tone. Originally, the show appeared on NBC as a timeslot filler program. A new series of episodes of the show were created in 2006 first-run for Spike TV, after a six-year hiatus from the NBC stint. Until the year 2008, all episodes of the show were narrated by Stacy Keach. From that point on, the season was narrated by Erik Thompson. The show is broadcast in the UK on Bravo and Channel One, in which David Wartnaby served as the narrator of the first season followed by Lee Boardman in the second season of broadcast in the particular country, and is expected to return in 2012. In Australia, it is shown on the pay-TV channel FOX8. The series was given its own local name titled Global Shockers for the Philippines market and it was hosted by Johnny Delgado.

JinRoz For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!
Beanbioca As Good As It Gets
Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
keerthivasannambiraju You know the opening phrase, "These are the incredible true-life stories of people who face their most desperate hour and lived to tell about it. Everything you are about to see is real – real people, real danger, real excitement. Get ready to experience the thrill of a lifetime. You are about to witness... The World's Most Amazing Videos!"But what is the excitement in watching people in some of the most shocking and extremely life-threatening situations ever caught on tape or film?, is it because nobody involved dies? or is it the thought that "I'm lucky it didn't happen to me!"?I'm saying that anyone who watches this show must be having either nerves of steel or is a complete Psycho!
Michael DeZubiria I live in the middle of China so I don't get to see shows like this very often except when I'm back in the states visiting family, like now, but I've had a soft spot for these amazing videos shows ever since I first noticed how captivating live coverage of police chases in my native Los Angeles was, and then discovered COPS. I haven't seen more than maybe a dozen episodes of this show, but I've seen enough to know that the videos are often groan-inducing or genuinely frightening and are almost always ruined by the goofy narration. Like John Walsh's goofball, wildly over-dramatic narration of America's Most Wanted, the videos, even the really amazing ones, are almost always accompanied by laughable descriptions, which leave me with the feeling that if you took away phrases like bone crunching, or battered bodies, or narrowly escaped, or lucky to be alive, or watery grave, well, they just wouldn't have anything at all to say and wouldn't that just make for a completely different show. But either way, you can hardly do better for a lazy Sunday afternoon. If the show seems repetitive, you watch it too much. Otherwise, enjoy!
amwcsu What the hell were they thinking when they made the awfully thoughtless decision to air this tripe? Almost, if not all the video clips are completely one-sided with an over-hyped, sensationalist narration! Many of the victims are complete dumb-asses who don't have the commons sense to put one pants leg on at a time and the narrator would have you and 75% of the audience (who are no more intelligent than the mindless chimpanzees feature on said reality clip show) believe that these are intelligent people who are victims. Victims? Yeah! Victims of their own stupidity and ignorance!!! These shows are for galactically stupid and the incredibly gullible. Why? Again said narrator would convince you that all these incidents are happening now. How do I know this? Well, the opening line is a dead giveaway! "The world is a dangerous place! Danger is lurking around every corner!" "WHAT THE F*$K?!" Oh that's very entertaining. It's bad enough that local and national news networks scare the sh@# out of us on a daily basis. This show has an agenda. That agenda is from the unholiest of places: A white, wealthy conservative male or Middle American housewife point of view. You notice almost all the robbers are minorities(preferably violent young black men in ski masks)and all the young people are drunk college jock idiots compulsively on the rampage downtown and are COMING TO GET YOU!!!! The streets are crawling with violent police chases occurring outside your front door and that drunk drivers are again COMING TO GET YOU!!!Yeah right! "Before you stock up on semi-automatic rifles, put minorities, homeless people, drug addicts, and immigrants into concetration camps, home-school your children, invest in a "panic room" and sign up for the John Birch Society, let me give you moronic fans of George W. Bush, elitist and souless gated communities, socio-economic segregation, deforestation, neofascistic AM-Radio psycho-pundit banter and of this show a friendly bit of advice: "These shows are often never updated. The majority of the clips are over five to seven years old if not older. They are NOT happening now! All right. Not all teenagers and minorities are criminal lunatics attacking everyone from behind the bushes.Danger is NOT around every turn as these are rare occurrences! This isn't the world outside!!You are more likely to be stuck in traffic or divorced from your spouse then go through what these cheese balls are going through! It also has another agenda for the blue collar Archie Bunker and fat-ass delusional shut-in set: "Turn off the damn TV! get a job, and join humanity. Along with its reality show brethren, these shows should be cancelled...PERMENANTLY!! Get it!! Why? It condones obesity! They use scare tactics and sound bites people to believe that all minorities and teenagers are punks and criminal bastards and to be scared of every person around you!!! That way the viewing audience is terrified of venturing outdoors and will never do so...EVER!!! Except to spend a lot of green at big-box stores like Wal-Mart to get their Plasma screens, a two ton boxes of cookies, and DVD's of horribly acted movies. Thus, the only option is EAT and rot in front of the idiot box. At least that's my theory. In conclusion, don't ever waste your time viewing this junk! This isn't COPS, COPS makes it work, as it tells the risks that go along with being a police officer! This...er..um.. does not. It'll make you paranoid and thinking the world is about to collapse. These shows are elitist, racist, and viciously one-sided with fear-triggered pro-consumption propaganda! People's misery is not and never, ever should be considered entertainment unless you are... RETARDED!!!
Madde-2 Yet another rehash of the network "How do we get as many rednecks to watch our station without actually doing anything ourselves" theory.Makes me wish I were insane so that I would have a defense for going on a rampage through the studios of these almost television producer's offices.
