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.'

I don't know where to find pics. She's from Washington I think. 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.

I think she's the hottest one they have ever had.

I disagree. Tiny Tim was wacky but was also an entertainer and Johnny Carson's friend.

'A Christmas Carol' is not a comedy and the analogy is out of place.

Cos probably had a problem at what Tiny was doing which he probably deemed 'a freak show' and not worthy of his hypocritical ways.

Millions disagree with you. But thats what is great about TVs, you can change the channel.

Ha-ha! Reminds me of what someone here said last week about something else--"Eat sh-t. . .800 billion flies can't be wrong!" Ha-ha!

What do you mean Cosby bought the little rascals to prevent them from being shown? I see them on TV all the time.

I think a lot of the swearing is for the cameras.

No one shouts and talks like that in real life, they do 'juice it up' a bit for the producers...

Kelly did indeed sing at the MTV Movie Awards, but her live performance is not what the folks in TV-Land (or the reporters backstage) heard.

Not that there's anything wrong with that, its SOP in the teen idol manufacturing industry.

According to MSNBC the MTV nework people shut off the monitors sound during the performance in the media room.

But the single is on the radio anyway..

The hostile housing situations that MTV has been crafting on "The Real World" are far worse....

For someone complaining about "The Real World" you sure seem to know a lot about the cast, episodes, etc

what's going on in the looks department, putting up with
a drama queen gets old fast.
