    Great documentary. No idea why you have to watch it before offering thoughts on OJ.

    I would give a million bucks to know the identity of the idiot producer who gave the okay to put that guy on live tv.
    This was the height of the Baba Booey stuff, and CNN, etc would allow these jokesters on every day. And I laughed every time.

    Wait. That is Peter Jennings on the air in Brentwood.

    Probably was Jennings. Al was probably being on Nightline with Koppel, which makes sense since the chase ended about 8:30 p.m. PDT.

    And I think NBC had taken over the NBA contract by then. Michaels was set to call Game 3 of the World Series from Candlestick when the quake hit and helped Koppel a lot.

    At a friend’s house, trying to watch the NBA Finals, which was tough to do after the game was shoved into the upper corner of my buddy’s 19-inch TV set.

    I mean it isn't like these guys were telling the screeners they were going to say random crap.

    Michaels was tremendous on the earthquake with Koppel.

    A Facebook acquaintance made a very salient point.

    Today is the day we see what modern social media would have been like in 1995.

    If we all only had second screens in 1994. The ratings for the game stream probably would've been a 0.2, though.
