Have any of you guys caught "the Osbournes" on MTV? Talk about a hoot. I caught a few minutes last night for the first time. (For those of you who don't know the show, Ozzie Osbourne, his wife and 2 teenaged children go about their lives in front of television cameras). There is Ozzie, quite appealing in a Wayne and Garth meet Archie Bunker kind of way, working hard to be a good parent but without much of a clue and having his language bleeped about every 3rd word.

Last night the dd was wailing about the kids at school teasing her because "nobody can forget that 20 years ago Dad bit the head off a bat" and Ozzie asks if she would like to homeschool.

I figure the HSLDA crowd spewed ice tea all over their living rooms(course not too many of them watching I wouldn't think).

I loved the one where they threw the ham at the noisy neighbor. All I could
think was how could any music be too loud for Black Sabbath <g> And can you
image them living next door to Pat Boone?

We love the Osbournes!!! We've watched it right from the beginning and find
it humorous and entertaining. We (dh & I) like rock music and although we
don't own an Ozzie album (dh liked Black Sabbath in his younger years), we
are familiar with his music and it is so funny to see how he is getting
along these days in his "older" age, especially interacting with his family.
Such an off-the-wall yet also normal kind-of family with arguements and
disagreements, but I also see the love they share (in between all the
bleeps! :-D)
Some of TV's finest - 2002 style. (I understand this is purely subjective!)
