Bill Cosby who's hit NBC television sitcom idealized family life throughout the 1980's has some harsh words about America's favorite openly disfunctional family, 'The Osbornes.'

'First of all you media need to stop with this Ozzy Osbourne.

This is a sad, sad family; it is a sad case.

The children are sad and the parents are sad,' Cosby tells entertainment show 'Access Hollywood on Thursday, June 20.

'This is not entertainment.'

While many think audiences respond to the MTV series based on the misadventures of Ozzy and crew because it shows that even the rich and famous suffer the same complicate family dynamics as the hoi polloi, Cosby says that enjoying it is akin to 'laughing at Tiny Tim.'

"Cosby is a class act and sometimes is seen at UCLA's track. Stay cool bro!"

In 1977 a woman named Autumn Jackson was arrested after trying to extort $40 million from Cosby, claiming to be his illegitimate daughter. Cosby admitted to an affair with Jackson's mother but denied fathering Jackson. She was convicted of extortion and sentenced to 26 months in jail. Ozzies lifestyle, or Cosby's cheating on his wife, take your pick.

Well, all I can tell you is that I tried to watch Ozzy on Leno, and I couldn't understand a word. How anyone can watch him sputter for an entire half hour is a mystery to me.

Was it the smoking Asian hottie from the Seattle house?

America's favorite openly disfunctional family, 'The Osbornes.'

That may be true, but if you really watch it, they are one of the tightest families I've ever seen. That always impressed me. Normal they are not, to be sure, but they are very close, no doubt about it.

Cos is one of those phony creeps who believes that his TV family is his real family. The guy cheats on his wife and condemns the Osbournes for their poor family values. Cosby is an ahole.

Was it the smoking Asian hottie from the Seattle house?

She wasn't much taller than 5', but no, I don't recall her being Asian.

Did she have light brown curly hair, the one with Lymes disease?

Bill Cosby is right. What he is in essence saying is the folowing : Ozzy Osbourne and his family , like this country , need God .

Like when he was sleeping around on his wife and fathering other children. He's so religious and good. You obviously fell for his image and can't see reality. Much like him.

[sakic]

IF Cosby's time has passed, it is a sad commentary on our values and not on him.

Geez. Another one who believes that Cosby is Huxtable.

Well said, Ozzy is a walking and talking 'dont do drugs ad.'

I simply think it's interesting that Cosby's startin' to sound Republican, in his old age...hmmmmm

This is good. Thank you Ozzy!!!

[Rodney King]

The poor blonde girl with the health problems is totally smokin in the current one.

According to folks in the industry Cos is one of the biggest womanizers in the business, the Huxtable thing is a huge sham.

Bill Cosby should be ashamed of himself-Ozzy probably has more values now than the fornicating adulterer Jello Man

Well, all I can tell you is that I tried to watch Ozzy on Leno, and I couldn't understand a word.

Some peoples english accents are hard to understand. Ive been to England and Scotland, and let me tell you, some of the people i met there I couldnt understand a damn thing they were saying and they supposedly were speaking english.

I have an easier time understanding asian immigrants with no grasp of the english language than some of the people I met over there.

To me, Cosby has always had the "Woodruff & Bernstein syndrome." Always trying to make himself appear above it all and a better comedian as opposed to the other black comedians, like W&B act like Watergate is the ONLY scandal worth talking about.

Besides, Cosby isn't exactly THE man to be talking about family values, is he???

[Phantom Lord]

I simply think it's interesting that Cosby's startin' to sound Republican

Cosby would hang himself before he ever voted for or supported a republican.

And does Dan Quayles support of Ozzy mean he is turning into a democrat?

[Howlin]

BTW, Richard Pryor was right about everything. Everything. :-)

[frmrda]

Yea, much better to have fathered illegitimate children outside of marriage like Cosby did. He called it a "rendezvous". Cosby is nothing but a hypocrite. At least Ozzy's illegitimate kids tried to blackmail him. Wonder how much fathering time Coz spent with his illegitimate daughter while making millions pawning himself off as a "family man", both in his TV show and stand up act.

[NordP]

No...just tryin' to find bright spots in this world.

Thanks (*not*) for bringing the dark, dimness of the dems back into the picture.
