Your statement that “it consumes crazy people who have no life” is a bit harsh. I would say that it is much like reading a murder mystery. You don't really know what is going to happen because like a good book, it is unfolding before your eyes. I am not a strict follower of these sensational murder trials but I can understand those who are.

There is a big difference between a good murder mystery and a bunch of white trash drama where "analysts" discuss whoever it was that was out nightclubbing or who the father was or who was sleeping with who.

Here's the essential difference between reading a murder mystery and watching a trial: You can read a mystery in a few hours, put it down whenever you like or when you need to tend to important matters. A televised trial is time-dependent; you're mesmerized into following it, one dreary minute after another. Before you know it, you've blown huge chunks of time on...what? I thought that was what TIVO was for, so that we could live our lives and watch the idiot box on our schedule. But apparently it was important enough to millions of people, that they were willing to pay with their time for the experience.

A bigger waste of time I can not imagine.
