SYNOPSIS:
This is a red-letter day for Buddy! O.J. Simpson is taking his famous slo-mo ride down the San Diego freeway and Buddy finally feels vindicated for having the wisdom to live next to the 405. Monica puts a damper on his enthusiasm by not appearing to care that "He" will pass by their apartment building in mere minutes. Doesn't Monica understand they could be on CNN? She could care less. It's her birthday and she's competing with the Family Entertainment Unit that dominates the room for Buddy's attention. Their neighbor, Billy has a deeper problem. Should he go out on the balcony and watch the chase or see it on the Family Entertainment Unit? What will win, T.V. or real life?
