4. After the OJ debacle, I'm glad it was not. I just want a conviction.

10. You would actually want to pre-empt Anna Nicole Smith coverage?!?!
We have important things to watch, like Britney Spears haircut, or Paris Hiltons latest party.

12. Most of the media won't even report on the criminals let alone expose them live on television.
