MIAMI, Florida (Hollywood Reporter) — O.J. Simpson is preparing for his debut as the star of his own “Osbournes”-esque reality show.
\nFort Worth, Texas-based Urban America Television Network said it will distribute a 13-week series about the former football great — who was acquitted of the murders of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ronald Goldman in 1995 — to its 75 independent broadcast TV station affiliates starting in June.
\nThe series will chronicle Simpson’s daily life in Miami using footage collected over several months of filming in 2001 and 2002.<\/p>\n

I don’t know who to rant at first, the folks who thought this up, or the folks who green-lighted it.<\/p>\n

And don’t get me started on Firefly <\/i>getting cancelled …<\/p>\n
