Investigation Discovery Airs WIVES WITH KNIVES Marathon on Superbowl Sunday

Superbowl parties can get dicey when football rivalries turn friends into fanatic foes, but especially when the woman serving your game-day snacks is a knife-wielding femme fatale. So reach for your finger foods with caution and change the channel to Investigation Discovery for a primetime marathon of Wives With Knives this Superbowl Sunday, February 3, from 6PM to 5AM ET. The series was recently mentioned during a hilarious spoof of Arianna Huffington on Saturday Night Live's Weekend Update [beginning at 2:20].

In this encore marathon presentation of Wives With Knives season one, women stab their husbands, sometimes killing them. Each wife sits down with Dr. Casey Jordan, a criminologist and behavioral analyst with a law degree, to reveal what events or motivations led them to slice and dice.

The marathon schedule is as follows:
