NEW YORK (AP) -- After a firestorm of criticism, News. Corp. said Monday that it has canceled the O.J. Simpson book and television special "If I Did It."

The television special was to air on two of the final three nights of the November sweeps, when ratings are watched closely to set local advertising rates. It has been a particularly tough fall for Fox, which has seen none of its new shows catch on and is waiting for the January bows of "American Idol" and "24."

They should cancel. What a waste of a perfectly good football player. I wouldn't watch a show about that if it was the only thing on the tube and I was out of beer!

Glad to hear FOX does have some limits. I was beginning to wonder.

I really can't believe they even thought this would fly in the first place.
