Did you watch the thing? What did you think of it? What do you remember/think of the actual events themselves? Do you think OJ did it? Please post your thought here.

People change their minds.

Nah, I was just kidding. No one ever changes their mind.

And he’s not doing anything to provoke you, so can you just deal with it like an adult?

That being said, I love some OJ and vodka in the mornings… But watching a tv show about it? That’s a little much.

Darn, I just tried to change the thread title to that it wouldn’t be confused with orange juice, but apparently, you can’t change thread titles with the new software. : (

I’ll play with you, Warb!

My wife and I enjoyed the series very much. I only knew a little about the trial, my wife even less, so it was educational and somewhat entertaining. I’d say if anyone was on the fence about it for any reason, let me push you over to have you watch it.

I remember being at work and getting called into the conference room to see the verdict read.

Now that’s very interesting. I wonder why the entire nation was so interested in this case, was it just the constant news coverage that forced it to become important? Was everyone really that concerned about race, like it showed on the series?

I was too young at the time. All I remember is that the highway chase interrupted TGIF, which was the only TV I was allowed to watch back then.

What I remember most is turning on the tv after my highschool graduation party and seeing this white ford bronco flying down the highway.

Of course I also remember the verdict. I was in a mall for some reason I can’t remember, I watched it in the tv section of a department store. I remember a whole lot of other people watching it there as well. Back then, I wasn’t sure whether he did it or not, so I agreed with the verdict. Now, I am pretty sure he did it.

O. J. used to be a professional NFL player.

I always assumed you saw Star Wars in theatres.

I honestly forget about that. And he was becoming a movie star. I forgot when people were famous for actual reasons, unlike some people who are featured maybe a bit too heavily on this miniseries?

Thanks? I did see the SE in theaters opening day. Got interviewed on a Knoxville radio station for “not even being a zygote when the original came out”.

Are you sure? Maybe we should have a poll to decide.

You just are so knowledgable about all of the changes that I assumed you were like mverta and had been an avid fan since 1977.

I just like comparisons, saw a need on this forum and helped fill it.

OJ being a football star played a part. His Hertz commercials played a part. The fairly new 24-hour cable news networks played a part. Cameras in the courtroom played a part. Race played a part.

It was the first American reality show.

Wasn’t there also a scandal within the trial about a racist policeman/detective as well? There were so many different layers to the drama.
