OJ Simpson's Effect on Reality TV

OJ Simpson was accused of a double murder in the 1990's for the killing of his wife and supposed friend. In an attempt to accuse and talk to OJ Simpson, lead to a car chase down the LA highways. OJ Simpson during the case was on the verge of suicide. All of this was being broadcast live to the public.  Leading to many who sough out to witness it in person. This new form of broad casting lead to a production of large sum of money.  Every thing of this case was broadcast including the court room situations and trials. This was considered the beginning of the true beginning of the reality TV craze,  because everyone was obsessed with knowing what was going on in their lives.  Everyone realized that there was a huge market for wanting to see the real life of others and legal dramas.

  1. The reality of the dramatic events they were watching is what really made people so interested. Reality TV has changed a lot since then. While the trial was a real event that was broadcasted live and unedited, today the most popular reality TV is heavily produced and superficial.
