Snapped#Season Two .282005.29

The series features non-fiction narratives of people who have committed murder or attempted murder or have been accused of committing or attempting to commit murder. Often the target is the individual's spouse. The program is edited in a documentary style, using a central voice-over narration by actress Jody Flader, as well as interviews with people in possession of first-hand knowledge of the case, including law enforcement officials, lawyers, journalists, friends and family members of both the victims and the accused, and at times the criminals or victims themselves. A few rare episodes during the series run have centered on male perpetrators, while a larger number of episodes have featured men who conspired with the central female perpetrator in the crime.

Snapped first aired on August 6, 2004, with the pilot episode, "Celeste Beard Johnson"{{cite web|title=Snapped: Celeste Beard Johnson|url=http://www.tv.com/shows/snapped/celeste-beard-johnson-353730/|website=TV.com|access-date=January 10, 2017|archive-date=January 13, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170113041348/http://www.tv.com/shows/snapped/celeste-beard-johnson-353730/|url-status=dead}} The series is currently in its thirty-third season of production at Jupiter Entertainment.{{cite web|title=Snapped - Season 24|url=http://www.tv.com/shows/snapped/season-24/?expanded=1|website=TV.com|access-date=January 20, 2019|archive-date=January 21, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190121182146/http://www.tv.com/shows/snapped/season-24/?expanded=1|url-status=dead}}{{cite web|title=Snapped {{!}} Jupiter Entertainment|url=http://www.jupiterent.com/projects/snapped/|website=www.jupiterent.com|access-date=January 10, 2017|ref=jupiterent|archive-date=January 13, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170113104754/http://www.jupiterent.com/projects/snapped/|url-status=dead}}
