Topic: The Osbournes


In the News (Fri 1 Jan 10)

  
  Herman Munster, rock god - Salon
The Osbournes even have a self-conscious "normal" daughter (eldest daughter Aimee, who declined to participate in the series) in the phantom role of Marilyn.
The president has reportedly invited the compulsively potty-mouthed Osbourne family to the White House for a visit, Ozzy's lifelong banishment from the state of Texas notwithstanding.

 Stardom hasn't spoiled "The Osbournes" - Salon
The thing about "The Osbournes" is that, no matter how big a thing it is, it has always been about the little things: like hearing Jack call Kelly "a sexualist" when he means "sexist," watching Sharon stoop to scoop another dog turd, observing Ozzy as he puzzles over the cuff links.
After all, the Osbournes (the family, the phenomenon, the financial entity) would not exist without her.
But it says a lot for "The Osbournes" that people will most likely continue to judge them for who they are, and not who their friends are.

 Reason Magazine - Ozz Fest
The Osbournes has already had that most traditional of sitcom episodes, its Christmas special, "A Very Ozzy Christmas." Diehard fans of Black Sabbath may take some comfort in the fact that it aired on April 30, which I'm guessing is Christmas in the Satanist calendar.
For all the foul language that gets bandied back and forth in the Osbourne household, we get to witness moments of genuine affection among the family members--and it seems to be genuine precisely because we've seen them at each other's throats as well.
The show is of course much cruder than the sitcoms of the past, but at the same time it is much more sophisticated, both in the way it parodies the earlier shows and the way it gives us deeper glimpses into the psychological reality of family life.

The first series of The Osbournes is a hilarious fly-on-the-wall documentary concerning the day-to-day domestic misadventures of Ozzy Osbourne (former frontman of Black Sabbath), his relatively sensible wife Sharon and their kids Jack and Kelly.
This real-life sitcom fodder has led many to describe the Osbourne family as "dysfunctional"--however, despite the generous helpings of expletives with which the series is garnished, like The Simpsons, they're actually a loving and stable family unit underneath it all.
The Osbournes without a doubt is one of the funniest programmes around, with Jack and Kelly constantly fighting, Ozzy trying endlessly to get various appliances in their house to work, and Sharon spending a lot of her time canoodling the shed load of dogs that they have.
