Until 2007, all episodes of the show were narrated by Stacy Keach. From that point on, the season was narrated by Erik Thompson. The show was broadcast in the United Kingdom 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 and was 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 in the Philippines that was aired on ABC-5 (now known as TV5) from 2006 until 2007 and was hosted by Johnny Delgado.
The fifth and final season changed the format; instead of multiple random clips in one episode, each episode now focuses on a certain theme.
