FOX says no to O.J.

We were probably not going to show it anyway.

The irony is that in lieu of the OJ special, we were going to run something that I had suggested and The General Manger loved.

Two hours of the Simpsons.

Back to regularly scheduled programming.

Sans OJ.

Ethics, what a concept.

Thank You!

After hearing this, part of me wanted the show to go on. I can't stand OJ even more now.

Please keep suggesting this, in fact, drop that f*ckin Jim Belushi show and show more Simpsons.

Yeah, like wow. . . ethics and all that . . . cool!

I can't help but think that Murdock is going to recoup his losses somehow, like a DVD of the interview slipped on the shelves quietly or something.

Maybe he was putting forth something really despicable, knowing it would be rejected, so he could slip in some programming that's also despicable, but not OJ-level despicable. (Oh wait, he's already running Family Guy.)

Or maybe he's just giving the masses the illusion of control. . . .

I agree. That show sucks. While you're at it, change House and Family Guy to Wednesday nights because the other nights just aren't good for me. Thanks in advance.

haHA!

Unfortunately, this won't work for me. I'm a House fan, but wednesdays are sacred. I don't think I need to explain why, but here's a hint:

4 8 15 16 23 42

Wednesday is your night to solve ISTEP math problems that require you to determine the next number in a seemingly random progression of numbers?

*SIGH*... the smoke monster's coming for you next. Eko said so.

Obvisouly not Lost fans. I feel for you, but hey, whatever. Your loss.

On second thought, you can have wednesdays until Feb 7. Then, you'll have to go. So shall it be.
