Reviews

MaximumMadness "The Osbournes", which ran from 2002-2005, was an Emmy Award Winning Mtv Reality-Show following the Prince of *Bleeping* Darkness himself, Ozzy Osbourne, and his family (sans daughter Aimee, who chose not to participate) living their normal, day-to-day lives. It was revolutionary, and was one of Mtv's biggest hits of all time. It brought us a personal view with the family of a rock icon, and showed us that despite at the glitz and glamor, all the controversy and whatnot... they are a true family, like any others.The series starts with Ozzy, his wife Sharon (who I just adore, she seems like so much fun), and his kids Jack and Kelly (along with about a dozen dogs and cats), as they move into their new home. Each episode deals with something eventful happening around the Osbourne home... from his kid's dating lives, to the disappearance of their cats, to the annoying neighbors, to Ozzy touring and even to personal struggles like Sharon's battle with cancer. It's all here. It's all blatant. It's real.The thing about the show that worked so well was the dynamic of the Osbournes as a family. While there were obviously some circumstances that set them apart from others (such as wealth and notoriety), it really doesn't matter- they went through struggles that are universal for virtually every family. It was quite touching (and refreshing) to see people interacting with one another as a family first on television. It was very humanizing, and nobody was ever portrayed as a bad person. They were presented as human beings, with flaws and perfections. It was indeed a very touching show... it never felt exploitive of the family, and you never were laughing or experiencing feelings at the expense of them.And after that thought, I will say that the show was extremely humorous, because it was so identifiable. Many people seem to point out the profanity in the show, or some outlandish situations, but for me, the humor was always an organic extension of the family, and was the same humor I find within my own family- humor from bickering, humor from saying the wrong thing, humor from doing something you later regret. It is extremely funny, from a personal perspective, as one can easily relate to these humorous situations.All in all, I found "The Osbournes" to be one of the few Reality Shows that actually was real, and was worth watching. Despite having ended after only three years, and having never released it's final seasons on DVD (only the first two were released), it remains one of the shows I still love and occasionally watch, and to me, was the best Reality program of its decade. A 10 out of 10.

tsf-1962 Someone once described "The Osbournes" as "The Munsters" in rehab. This is unfair to the Munsters, who underneath their monstrous facades were quite normal, almost wholesome (after all, "The Munsters" had the same producers as "Leave It To Beaver.") The Addams Family were truly deranged, which makes them perhaps a more apt comparison. I enjoyed this show at first, mainly because I thought it was all a put on; nobody, I thought, could really be that stupid. Then Ozzy had his near-fatal ATV accident and it stopped being funny. Evidently there really are people that stupid. I must admit I admire Sharon Osbourne, a plain-speaking matriarch who proves the adage that behind every great man stands a good woman. It's largely thanks to her guidance that Ozzy has maintained his credibility with the younger generation despite being one of the founding fathers of heavy metal. He was playing with Black Sabbath back in 1969, when Richard Nixon was president, the Mets won their first world series and Neil Armstrong walked on the moon. The nice thing about "The Osbournes" was that you could enjoy it without being a fan of Ozzy or heavy metal. It's hard to reconcile the kindly if stupefied grandfatherly figure (who always makes me think of Benjamin Franklin) with the ghoul who used to bite the heads off of live birds. The kids were the real stars, especially Kelly, but they've had their fifteen minutes of fame and I doubt they'll have a very long shelf life. Still, it was fun while it lasted.

mecleroux Anyone that watches this show for more than five minutes must be brain dead or a complete moron It is stupid, dumb and moronic. How anyone can watch a bunch of people that display absolutely no sign of intelligence is beyond me. This family of lunatics redefined the meaning of dysfunctional. In my opinion it is pure non adulterated Crap with a big C.

BlackJack_B With all this hype about how great The Osbournes T.V. show is, I just had to take a look at it. Fortunately, I didn't have to buy Digital Cable to see this show. One of my channels is MusiquePlus; which is the Quebec version of MuchMusic, and they have a version with no edits (read: the swearing is heard loud and clear) and subtitles in French.On the basis of two episodes (The Christmas episode and one where Jack's stoner friend is lving with them), all I can say is "Why?" What's so great about this show? It's a dysfunctional family to the extreme much like taking The Simpsons and making them even more bizarre. Is it funny to see these people being used as pawns by MTV? That Ozzy, who I consider a legend, making a fool of himself will help him? Granted, it's funny to see him struggle opening a CD or playing a slot machine in his home, but the show goes too far with its antics. The swearing is way out of hand and the show doesn't convince me that this is "reality at The Osbournes"; it's just so fake.Sadly, this another reason why I loathe T.V. There's so much of this "reality T.V." garbage out there. When will this dumb "T.V. fad" end? Oh well, at least my T.V. still has other uses like videogames and watching classic films on DVD.
