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.

Ive 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 youve ever heard. And they are not shy about talking about anything. Ill 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.)

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.
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".

Followed by the maid saying "How the F#(&*! should I know?"
Fun for the whole family.
Ah, just what America needs to see and export to the world; a perverted, disfunctional family spouting disfunctional family values
Youre right. Now the French will think were a country of aging millionaire British metal rock stars, with foul-mouthed, pink-haired NSync-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.

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!
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.
The only adventures I can think of were long after the show, like Ricky's adventures with mid-flight freebasing ;)
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.
Freebasing in an airplane would make a good TV show.
Maybe they can work aerial freebasing into the next "Fear Factor"...
