As I read further, I see that you knew it was an urban legend. Continue spreading it. 8-)

What is Cosby right about? He doesn't approve of Ozzy? Who cares what he thinks about Ozzy or anything else?

Condemning the morality of others is always a waste of time because it inevitably bites the one who's condemning on the butt and makes them look like an ahole blowhard phony.

This case is no exception to the rule.

It got Cosby's name back in print didn't it? And tentatively it's putting him on the "high ground" (he's not on the receiving end of a controversy although he may receive some backlash).

[dougherty]

What can you possibly say to a sanctimonious racist, that would re-write history (as in Buying up the Little Rascals to prevent their showing..) because he finds it unsuitable...

He actually did that to the Little Rascals?? When did he do this? AMC was showing the Little Rascals episodes not too long ago. I don't like Cosby, never have. I saw a few episodes of The Cosby Show and thought it was a total bore. Give me Sanford and Son or What's Happenin' any day of the week over that snoozefest.

She's the one that's an orphan and is always sick. The other girls hate her because she is hot and has such a smoking body.

No, her roommates, both the men and women, cannot stand her because she is annoying as hell. Talk about a hypochondriac! And whiny and b*tchy as hell. I felt sorry for her boyfriend when he came to visit her. I think the prettiest female on Real World Chicago is the one from Louisiana. She is beautiful.

[Skooz]

How about the Cuban girl from Miami? She was on a few years back. It was the Real World with the gay model from Kansas. I think they stayed somewhere in Florida. I cannot recall her name, but I thought she was mega-cute.

I didn't say he was perfect, but at least he doesn't promote his indescretions. Compare The Cosby Show to the Osborne idiocy and you'll get my main point. I used to live the lifesyle those trailer trash revere - then I grew up.

[Tourist Guy]

>>>It may make folks think poorly of your family<<<

Matters not. Both of them have passed on, and frankly he was a jerk. Years later she was on Sally Jesse Raphael with her kids as a disfunctional family. Sad but true.

[A Navy Vet]

"Cosby's personal life has been a lot more unsavory than Osborune's."

I really doubt that. His personal indescretions and politics aside, which one has done more to promote traditional family values? The Cosby Show was a fine example for all Americans while the Osborne's are nothing but Jerry Springer at home.

[A Navy Vet]

Fine, lower the bar even more.

Next up on MTV, "At Home With Teenagetransvestitehookerswhos leepwiththeirstepdads".
Later, "Boxers or Briefs: The Defining Answer", guest starring ex-president clinton.

Wasn't the Cuban girl identified as a Republican? I caught some of those episodes during one of the marathon broadcasts but only vaguely remember some of the news "press" that season generated.

I think that they were trying to create "controversey" by putting a Republican woman and a gay man in the same house. Now there seems to always be at least 1 gay cast member, with possibly some bi- cast members as well.

Chic-a-go-go is a program from Chicago that is somewhat based on a program called "Kiddie-a-go-go".

"Chic" gets old and new performers on the show to sing or lip synch their "hits" for a crowd of young kids, their friends, their parents, their parents' friends, and assorted hipster doufuses.

The hosts are a "straight-edge" rat puppet called Ratso and an asian woman. At times they'll interview bands and ask if they have any advice for the kids.

They caught Lemmy backstage at some show and got him to do an interview but he didn't want to cooperate with the puppet. That quote was Lemmy's advice to the kids.

MTV would have another hit on their hands if they'd only pick it up.

[weegee]

We need to create a pool to guess how long before X42 makes his debut in an MTV performer's video as a castmember.

[BunnySlippers]

I liked Tiny Tim!

I did too. Remember his wife Miss Vicki?
Tip toe through the tulips ....

[weegee]

He was not with Miss Vicki for years. He later found a new "flame" but I don't even know if they got together before the end.

He died onstage.

Where's Tiny Tim's Behind The Music episode???

[sakic]

How can the Osbornes be lowering the bar when Rosie and every stupid comedy with an inane laugh track preceded them?

Most shows in the last 40 years lowered the bar further than the Osbournes or maybe you miss the good old days of Three's Company?

[sakic]

I used to live the lifesyle those trailer trash revere - then I grew up.

He didn't grow up. He got caught. And one can only wonder what he hasn't been caught for. He's a load of dung.

[BunnySlippers]

He died onstage.

I actually saw Tiny Tim live in a really, really small theater in Los Angeles just behind the old famous (since demolished) Hollywood Ranch Market. It was just before he became famous ... the theater had about 15 seats. There was some guy who lit up neon lights without electricity and passed them around, someone played a sitar and Tiny Tim sang a medaly of Sonny and Cher songs (I Got You Babe).

[Twodees]

Duh. Of course the Dickens character isn't funny. That's why Cosby implies that it's inappropriate to laugh at him? Nevermind, son. You watch MTV. That puts you on another planet than the one I inhabit anyway. Later.
