O.J. Simpson

[LittleRickyII]

This episode aired today on Cozi TV. I had assumed they had been skipping over it. This is the first time I have seen it broadcast since the 1980s. When the old Pax TV network reran Here's Lucy in the late '90s, they skipped right over the O.J. episode. It appeared that it might have been banned from broadcast television (although it's included on the Season 6 DVD), but I guess not.

LittleRickyII, do you support legacy erasing? I do not, because they are a part of history, and banning an episode of the show with O.J. Simpson certainly doesn't seem like the solution. If they are banned from television and other forms of media, how will people learn from their mistakes, to not repeat them? I'm sure there are plenty of people who can separate O.J. Simpson from the characters in his film and TV work, and I am one of them.

Also, as I type this, two channels will show documentaries about the deposition tapes. I plan on watching them.

Do you know when the A&E one is going to air? What channel is the other one going to be on?

Where in my comment did I imply anything about supporting "legacy erasing"? All I said was that this episode aired yesterday on Cozi, that Pax used to skip over it, and that I had never seen it broadcast since the 1980s.
