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.'

According to CBS/MTV network next year there will be words underneath the passages where it is hard to understand Ozzy.

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

I think she had light brown curly hair, but it's hard to remember. I don't know if she had Lymes disease; we didn't talk about it. Like I said: I've never watched The Real World and that's the only time I saw her. She seemed sort of frenetic, but not overly so.

Buy a clue, codebreaker. Cos wasn't talking about Herbert Khoury, the famous queer singer. He was talking about the fictional character in the Charles Dickens novel, "A Christmas Carol". ;-)

As far as I know, Ozzy has no illegitimate children. He was married once prior to Sharon and has at least 1 son from that marriage.

Yea, she was kind of cute I remember her.

I stopped watching the real world after they had the Mormon Girl on from Utah in New Orleans and she got kicked out of BYU for cohabbing with men.

Are the new New York/Chicago shows any good?

Bill Cosby is a racist, and Ozzy is a brain damaged has been.

You are so correct. I saw an interview a few years ago that the Cos did, he just spewed hate and disdain for white people.

You mean New York II or Chicago Real World?

I cannot wait for 'College Sorority Real World' this summer! (appearently they stocked the house with babes)

Yes, I have a weakness for low brow FOX shows like 'American Idol' and 'Bachlorettes in Alaska.'

Amen to Both.

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...

The part where Ozzy falls over in his directors chair on tour is the funniest thing I have seen since 'Spinal Tap.'

Like - less than 15 seconds can go by on Ozzy's show without him or a family member screaming FU! But Bill Cosby has harsh words. Why are we so stupid?
