Release and distribution

The film was produced by The Latent Image and originally aired on ABC on December 28, 1974. Romero wanted to name it "2003" because of O. J. Simpson's record number of yards rushing but ABC decided to change the title to "O. J. Simpson: Juice on the Loose". It was later re-released by Vidmark in 1994 during the O. J. Simpson murder case.[1] The film is included as an "Easter egg" bonus feature on the DVD release of the spoof film The Bogus Witch Project (2000). It was re-released again in 2016 by Thomas Chaffee.

Legacy

The film was referenced in the title to the Family Guy episode about Simpson, "The Juice Is Loose" (March 15, 2009).

The film was referenced in the "Simpson" episode, "She Used To Be My Girl" (December 5, 2004) (Season 16, Episode 4) (Timemark 2:16)
