CALL me a sucker, but I love good, family-style entertainment.

Take "The Osbournes," for example. The MTV show, premiering tomorrow night, follows the real life adventures of that typical American family, The Osbournes.

Who are the Osbournes you ask? I'm glad you asked.

I’m not a metal head or an Ozzy fan, and I haven’t even seen the show yet, but I’m betting that this is going to be my new favorite show.

I’ve heard Ozzy, his wife, and his kids on the Howard Stern show at various times over the years. They are the biggest collection of goofballs you’ve ever heard. And they are not shy about talking about anything. I’ll bet it took them about ten minutes to forget about the cameras on them and start acting like they really act.

There is no way that this show can miss being a classic.

I don't know anything about this guy (except the bat head rumors) but I did see a "Behind the Music" special about him.

I don't know, what I saw looked pretty boring. Maybe even BORING. He looked like a typical old British fart who runs a little business where the wife does all the work, and the guy just does the fronting, only his little family business is to sing outrageous metal songs...

It all seemed very Spinal Tap-ish to me. (In a very non-offensive, decent old British fart kind of way.)

OZZIE: What the @&%$# are you doing you little *&%^&!??

SON: Nothing you ^*%$#^@ son of a *^*&&#*!!

DAUGHTER 1: Shut the f*&*^#* up you ass&(&(#&*^@!!

MOM: Where is the valium?

There, that's the whole show. Just keep looping the above over and over.

Ah, just what America needs to see and export to the world; a perverted, disfunctional family spouting disfunctional family values, count me out. I have more important things to do with my life and time, like providing my family with a wholesome and godly role model.

It is so sad that we have arrived at the time in this country where good is presented as evil and evil/perversion is presented as good, wholesome, the "norm" and "entertainment".

Ozzy and his daughter were on MTV's TRL a few months ago, and it made my day. There was his daughter, saying she liked NSynch. Ozzy rolled his eyes and she retorted "I can like any kind of music I want!"

I do believe that last line would be Mom saying "Where's the F*&#^# Valium, you F*#$(@#&*?"

Followed by the maid saying "How the F#(&*! should I know?"

Fun for the whole family.

The last Ozzie worthy of having his own family-tv show had a wife named "Harriet".

You’re right. Now the French will think we’re a country of aging millionaire British metal rock stars, with foul-mouthed, pink-haired N’Sync-fan children. Horrors.

I have more important things to do with my life and time, like providing my family with a wholesome and godly role model.

I put my kids to bed long before 10:30. If you spent less time boasting about your supposed virtues, you might have more time for a little harmless entertainment.

It is so sad that we have arrived at the time in this country where good is presented as evil and evil/perversion is presented as good, wholesome, the "norm" and "entertainment".

You have got to be the only person on the planet who believes that this show was created to show Ozzy and his family as “good”, “wholesome” and “the norm”!

The funniest thing about Ozzy's kids are the fact that they want to rebel like normal children, but they just can't figure out how.

I've heard them complaining that they have to hide all Daddy's dead animals before their friends come over. And they're very embarrassed when he shows up at the school in his "metal death" attire for parent/teacher conferences.

How come on "The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet", they never really had any "adventures", per se?

The only adventures I can think of were long after the show, like Ricky's adventures with mid-flight freebasing ;)

But really, how can you not warm to a family with a dad who is best known as the half-crazy, drug-ravaged 50ish rocker who...

I will always remember him as the jerk who pee'd on the Alamo. I have no use for him or his television show.

I hope they do the life of Francis Bean Cobain ("Frannie") and her mother as well. That would be a hoot too! Frannie is now going to be 10 soon and she seems very innocent and straight laced. I bet Ozzy's kids and Frannie grow up to be Repubs. Even if Love votes Repub and Libertarian at times. (She does). I just think that their kids wouldn't want to be part of all that dysfunctional excess.

The Brady Bunch were ten times more adventurous than the Nelsons (Exploring the Grand Canyon, battling Vincent Price in Hawaii, etc.)

Freebasing in an airplane would make a good TV show.

I liked the episode of the Brady Bunch where they went to Hawaii and were cursed by the evil Tiki god. That was a good one, and much more adventurous than anything the Nelsons ever did. Unless you include the hair-band adventures of these two Nelsons:

Maybe they can work aerial freebasing into the next "Fear Factor"...
