Justice & Law Quote by O. J. Simpson

Casual, almost cozy, this is the sound of a man trying to domesticate notoriety. "I tend to watch a little TV" lands like a shrug, the kind celebrities use to signal ordinariness: I snack, I channel-surf, I kill time like everyone else. Then comes the tell: "Court TV". Not sports, not movies, not the harmless escapism you name-check to seem relatable, but the genre most tightly wired to his own public identity.

The genius of the line is its studied smallness. He doesn't claim expertise, outrage, or activism. He "once in a while" watches, and only gets "interested in" some cases, as if legal drama is just another hobby. That understatement functions as a shield: it frames the courts as entertainment rather than consequence, detaching the speaker from the moral gravity the audience automatically drags into the room.

In context, Simpson isn't merely a former athlete with a TV habit; he's a man whose life became the defining courtroom spectacle of late-20th-century America. So the subtext is unavoidable: he's watching the kind of narrative that watched him. The line tests how much the public will tolerate: can he participate in the culture of televised justice as a consumer, not a symbol? It also quietly flips the power dynamic. Court TV once turned him into content; now he claims the posture of an ordinary viewer, choosing what interests him, as if the whole thing was always just programming.
