The Osbournes - The Second Season description
The modern-day Addams Family returns for a second season of their landmark reality sitcom. Overexposure quickly wore out the Osbournes' welcome, but the season opener, "What Goes Up," is a reminder of the surreal circus that was their lightning-in-a-bottle 15 minutes of fame. Ozzy and Sharon attend the White House Correspondents' dinner, where Ozzy rates a mention by the president and receives a thundering ovation. Daughter Kelly performs "Papa Don't Preach" at the MTV Music Awards. And son Jack is thrilled that McDonald's has brought back the McRib. The next episode, "Must Come Down," is the reality check, in which Sharon is diagnosed with colon cancer. But the family quickly gets back "to what they usually do," which is drive each other (and anyone who crosses them) crazy. Jack takes special delight in tormenting trespassing tourists by turning the sprinklers on them. When Kelly brings home her first serious boyfriend, a rock singer, it's to her mortified horror that Sharon questions him about his obscene nickname. The season does comes to a poignant end with a lavish New Year's party during which Ozzy and Sharon renew their vows, and ends with Ozzy passed out on the couch (just like their first honeymoon, Sharon sardonically observes). Of course, there is reality and there is reality. Though not dealt with onscreen, it has since been reported that Jack has undergone rehab for a substance abuse problem, a tragic family legacy. This puts something of a damper on watching the "wacky" antics. But as with the first season, The Osbournes is fun to visit, with cameos by, among others, Natalie Portman, Mandy Moore, P. Diddy, and Marilyn Manson adding to the cachet. But thank god you don't live there. As with the first season, this two-disc package contains such inspired extras as a translator that provides subtitles for the addled Ozzy's profanity-laced dialogue and a preferred bleep-free viewing option.--Donald Liebenson |

The Osbournes review
|
by RevolutionJim
We just finished watching the DVD's of Mtv's The Osbournes, and while it was full of the usual expletives I have seen worse from some children here in America. If my children were to swear at me like that they would not be receiving the niceties these kids have.
The reality based series ran very well for the first two seasons with some remarkable scenes you won't get on the network drivel. In one scene Jack, sitting in a room full of locals he met, makes the statement "the United States won't even be around in 50 years", obvious referring to our illegal alien policies. It looks like you can lump Jack, a teen from England, in with the likes of Pat Buchanan, a presidential candidate, and others who have written books on the problem of a government that does not represent the people.
The third season rolled around with the wheels coming off the show. Mtv was obviously done with The Osbournes by the way they attacked or allowed the children, Jack and Kelly, to be thrown in a rehab for drug abuse. These episodes were left off of the DVD set. While drinking alcohol or smoking marijuana are not stellar activities, I am sure that were the show about a/k/a P.Ditty/Puffy, a/k/a Snoop Dog and a/k/a Fifty Cent smoking crack and doing heroin would be the accepted norm. There is a biased in the general media towards promoting diversity and multiculturism for the end result of moving the democracy in the direction the government wants when it is against the public demand. This is known as the media being a branch of a democratic government.
The alternate ending was not based on reality at all, but was an acting skit. In this scene, totally scripted, Jack is the big bully of the house and is angry when he is awakened. He then kills the family dog, Mimmy, in bed somehow while he was asleep. Also Kelly was made to look bad. These types of scenes were an obvious attempt to ruin any future career these kids might have. While I am sure the Osbournes were ready to exit the hostile business contract with Mtv, they should have refused this ending and stuck with the show format.
Mtv has not had a show with any popularity since. In all The Osbournes, was at times hilarious and the best reality show of all time, to date. |
