Ok. I got to say it. “The Osbourns” is some of the best damn T.V. ever. I think I watched the first episode 3 times over the weekend, mostly the result of a brilliant snow storm which was as good a reason as any to hunker down and hibernate with Ozzy and his clan. Even after my third viewing I couldn’t figure out what the heck they were all screaming about. Watching Ozzy attempt to figure out the computerized deck for operating his television, and get so frustrated with it that he wants to pound on it and smash it, which, when he does, makes the lamps behind him turn on and off, is so funny that just writing about it makes me giggle with glee. I wish I could have sat in on the MTV creative meetings when this show was being discussed as a potential for the 2002 schedule. If you enjoy the show, then you must read STEE’s comments at “Television Without Pity”. I’m very glad they gave this show to him.
