Spike's 'Ways to Die' endures

Spike has bought a fourth season of "1000 Techniques to Die," set to premiere in March with 13 new episodes. The series, that's more than twelve segs into season three (through which its 41 episodes are put into three parts), is doing well for Spike, calculating 1.6 000 0000 audiences, according to Nielsen. "1000 Ways" recreates unorthodox deaths using stars and CGI and includes expert commentary and historic info with each public demise. Series is produced by FreMantle Media's Original Prods.
