O.J. reality TV show in the works
Thursday, April 24, 2003 Posted: 5:22 AM EDT (0922 GMT)

MIAMI, Florida (CNN) -- O.J. Simpson -- acquitted in 1995 in the killings of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ronald Goldman -- is preparing for his debut as the star of his own "Osbournes"-esque reality show.

Fort Worth, Texas-based Urban America Television Network said it will distribute a 13-week series about the former football great to its 75 independent broadcast TV station affiliates starting in June, according to a story in The Hollywood Reporter.

The series will chronicle Simpson's daily life in Miami using footage collected over several months of filming in 2001 and 2002.

Simpson maintains he did not commit the crimes and has said he thinks the case eventually will be solved.

Following the criminal trial, Simpson was sued by both families of the victims in civil court. The families were awarded $33.5 million in damages in 1997.

Since the trials, Simpson and his children have been living near Miami on a $4 million pension earned with money from his careers in sports, acting and television pitchman. Such pensions are exempt from civil court judgments.

In December 2001, federal agents searched Simpson's house and nine other area homes as part of an investigation into a drug, theft and money-laundering ring.

Simpson was at home during the search and no large amounts of money or drugs were found, his attorney said at the time. Simpson was not involved in the ring, the attorney said.

In October 2001, Simpson was acquitted of charges stemming from an alleged road-rage argument. He was accused of grabbing eyeglasses from a driver's face and scratching him.

The Associated Press & Reuters contributed to this report.

I believe he was guilty and so I think I would find it hard to support him in any way, including giving him ratings. I'd be disgusted the entire time and yelling at the tv too much anyway. Wink

There is no way I would watch this, or even flick on it for a minute. I am tired of the aggrandizement of tastelessness and scandal. It's fine to ogle at Anna Nicole or Ozzy and be bemused and entertained, but when it comes to someone who has most likely harmed someone, I can't see supporting it in any manner.

I think we ought to take a stand before society is permeated with this crap and it's considered okay. I would be willing to help in any way, MzWings, if you have found a method. Just let me know.

I just checked that site again:

Quick Survey!
UATV has been approached by a group in Florida about the possibility of airing an OJ Simpson mini-documentary based upon footage taken in 2000 and 2001.

Should UATV air the OJ Simpson mini-Documentary?
(You have already voted)

[Survey results coming shortly]

The following is a copy of an em I sent this morning. I urge everyone to voice their opinion.

Thanks!

TO: [email protected]
SUBJECT: OJ Simpson

Thank you for giving us - JQ Public - the opportunity and a place to voice our opinion about the issue of OJ Simpson hosting the aforementioned reality show.

Being an active member of two International websites, afforded me another opportunity - that I was able to spread the word even further about this show and receive the opinions of people all over the world about how they feel.

The general concensus world-wide is an angry NO: they do NOT want this show aired with Mr. Simpson as host.

Further, if Mr. Simpson is the host, these same people will view the premiere episode only to make a list of the sponsors as well as the products being advertised for the exclusive purpose of boycotting same.

Thank you for your space to let us speak and vote.
