Is it possible to stage an intervention on a connection?

Foxhadbeen doing so well, you guys.

But then ABC stoleIdolout of their trash heap, and something in Fox snapped.

Judith Regans no-hold-barred interview with O.J.

To give you an idea of how intense the backlash was after Fox announced the O.J.

Having been burned (rightfully so) once before with the O.J.

Over the course of this two-hour special, though, we heard a lot more from O.J.

Simpson, who had plenty to say about his murdered ex-wife most of it unflattering.

All the anti-domestic violence PSAs in the world wont change this fact: The Fox online grid gave O.J.

Are we really expected to believe that Fox had absolutelynothingbetter to air againstIdol?

A bonus episode of9-1-1, perhaps?

Outtakes of Seth MacFarlane forgetting his lines onThe Orville?

A random assortment of cutting-room floor footage fromBeat Shazam?

Youre probably wondering why I havent said anything yet about that lost confession.

Well, much likeGeraldo Riveras anticlimactic live opening of Al Capones vault, there wasnt muchtherethere.

Though Simpson continually referred to it as hypothetical, a better word would be incoherent.

I do remember that portion, taking the knife from Charlie.

And to be honest, after that, I dont remember, he mumbled.

Except Im standing there and theres all kinds of stuff around.

What kind of stuff, Regan wanted to know.

Blood, and stuff around, he replied.

I hate to say it, but this is hypothetical.

Did I mention that Simpsons hypothetical confession involved the creation of a fictional friend named Charlie?

Jesus, I need more wine.

Made in Americaand evenThe People v. O.J.

Simpson: American Crime Story.

Perhaps George Zimmerman would like a few hours in primetime to discuss his thoughts on community policing?

Maybe Casey Anthony would like to be a guest judge onMasterChef Junior?
