O.J. Unseen: Exploitation of Evil

Matt Roush says...

File this under “Worst Ideas Ever.” A four-part docuseries (concluding Tuesday at 9/8c) exhumes unseen footage from an ill-conceived hidden-camera prank series in 2006 that starred O.J. Simpson, an attempt to cash in on his notoriety from his infamous murder trial a decade earlier. The show, titled Juiced, featured the ex-athlete in tasteless stunts that would end with Simpson shouting, “You’ve been juiced!” When word leaked of the show’s development, backlash kept even the most shameless networks from buying the show, which ended up as a Pay-Per-View special. Unseen features interviews with the show’s producers and crew and excerpts from interviews with Simpson, who had hoped to restore his reputation. No such luck.
