The People vs OJ Simpson (SPOILERS)

[ten ocho recon scout]

From the previews, all the people involved look like their real life counterparts...good job casting

[wopphil]

Can someone fill me in as to why this is such must see tv? I watch almost no tv and am not familiar with this type of series. Are they well directed? An original format? Why is this better than all the Dateline-type shows on the subject?

And as to OJ, I recently read that now a majority of blacks (like 52%) finally believe in his guilt. Do we have any black board members who can weigh on this issue? How is it so many blacks still aren't convinced he is guilty? And do you guys ever debate with other black people over his guilt? Do you get as pissed off as white people over the issue?

All I remember is the trial was televised on basic TV channels chaotically. Every damn station. As a child I was almost FORCED to watch footage of the trial while sifting through channels, hoping eventually some Angels baseball or Animaniacs would come on, and every goddamn channel was the OJ Simpson case.

Old ladies in charge of elementary school recess told me to stop talking about the OJ case, and stop speaking about how bulls**t it was he got off a free man after the ruling.

I was so young but even as a kid, it was so damn obvious.

Did you get pissed off when Robert Blake got off the hook?

[Hollyw00d]

And how do you feel about it when you discuss that with other whiteys?

[wopphil]

You are an angry Mexican. Did the curb finders on your Altima get stolen?

[Hollyw00d]

Yeah, I'm still trying to track down your mother

[Hollyw00d]

Crosswalk?

What's that?

[Hollyw00d]

My Tia crosses the street like usain bolt

[Hollyw00d]

An hour?

That's early

[wopphil]

Serious question Hollyw00d: have any of your friends or family members been hit by a car while in a crosswalk?

[Hollyw00d]

I understand amigo. There's only so many hours in the day to impregnate high school girls. Especially if you gotta throw a siesta in there.

My 5th son was just born last month. Thanks for feeding him!

No, we check to see if Asians are driving before walking

Ha ha.

We don't have any black board members.

This place really is a bratwurst fest.

[Lou]

If it helps, I'm black from the waist down

Ha ha.

Looks just like a crowd at an Angels game.

And the Angels

Saw an article this morning. Some head doc is pretty sure OJ has that concussion syndrome, which could explain a lot

it's more of a usc thing

[RallyMo]

It's an admission prerequisite.

Murder is now legal in the State of California

It's like the worlds longest Ford Bronco commercial

[Tank]

one of the greatest skits SNL ever did.

Never seen that before. Had a good laugh!

 

Impressed with the first two episodes. I wonder what case they'll be looking at next season? What are some thoughts?

EDIT: Nevermind, Season 2 will focus on Hurricane Katrina.

The acting is so bad by most of the cast.  But for some reason I couldn't turn it off.

 

 

It's like a slow speed chase on the freeway or something.

Yeah, I have been impressed with how incredibly bad the acting has been. I like Cuba Gooding, but he isn't right for the part. And the Marcia Clark character is horrible.

But I actually like Travolta in it. Probably because he is so plastic and fake that he lends a level of creepiness to the role. And I think the Johnny Cochrane actor/character is going to be great.
