Status: Partially Lost
Top 20 Countdown: Most Shocking (also known as Top 20 Most Shocking, and also known simply as Top 20 in other countries) is an American reality television show produced by Nash Entertainment and truTV Original Productions. It is a spin-off to Most Shocking, which originally aired from 2006 to 2010. The show is narrated by Tyler Derek who also narrated Most Shocking and Most Daring alongside Brian Cummings. The show aired for 5 seasons and 66 episodes (not including the 4 specials).
Synposis
The show counts down videos of the most shocking moments and disasters around the world caught on camera from 20 to 1. This show's narration is less serious than the other 2 shows because of the puns he says in clips.
Broadcast
The show premiered on TruTV on October 3rd, 2012, and ended on March 30th, 2012, and then aired 4 specials between August 30th to December 16th, 2012. TruTV continued to air reruns (even shortly after its rebrand) until 2015. It has not aired on another network since.
Availability
For the first few years of the show airing, only clips were uploaded to YouTube and no full episodes. It wouldn't be until January 17, 2014, when a YouTube channel DarkDestraction uploaded a load of full episodes from TruTV airings. However, over the years, some of the episodes were removed, most likely due to them violating YouTube's community guidelines, including the episode "Practical Jokers Gone Wild 3" which the channel had uploaded, but since its removal, the full episode has since been lost.
Then during 2018 and 2019, the YouTube channel ManxBox OnDemand uploaded some season 1 episodes and others, but not from TruTV airings. In 2020, channel VinatageVideos 2.0 found and uploaded 2 more specials, and an upscale episode of "Worst Days on the Job 2"[1], then in 2022, actually found some clips for the lost Escapes From Death 1 episode with some English dubbing. During 2020 and 2021, channel danostalgiafada uploaded clips of some of the lost episodes, unfortunately, most are dubbed in Russian and are not full episodes. In 2021, the channel Rookie Raceway uploaded an upscaled episode of Whackos at the Wheel 2 he got.[2] In 2022, channel El Lucas 44 most shocking channel uploaded some more lost episodes, unfortunately, some episodes were taken down, but he put the episodes on his Internet Archive.[3] Another channel MixelsFan15 uploaded some lost episodes including "Practical Jokers Gone Wild 1" in December 2022, and "Dumb Dudes 5" in May 2023.
