Osbournes Reloaded Recap Episode 1: Where being bald puts you center stage.
There are two dogs and two f-bombs for shock benefit in the first minute, not exactly Prince of Darkness nor comedy material. Ozzy is standing in front of the stage yet Sharon must announce “Ozzy is here” to the audience.. I believe this was for Ozzy’s benefit and apparently needs to be reminded every five minutes.
Kelly Osbourne, who is dressed as a cross between Charlie Chaplin and Mary Poppins, goes into the audience to find a random bald guy to kiss a random woman. The hilarious twist is when they blind fold the bald man and he ends up kissing an older lady. Ozzy is screaming “Oh, Oh, Oh”, then adds, “Fabulous” after the debacle has finished. Next is a segment featuring Ozzy dancing in a leotard. Oh, Oh, Oh, my fucking God what is going on here!
After a much needed commercial break we see Kelly again going into the audience and pulling out another bald man. This time he is set up, his girlfriend of many years is there and is giving him an ultimatum: Marry me or it’s over. We are going to have to wait until the end of the show to find out his answer. Either that or say fuck it, this show sucks, and turn the channel. See, there are two choices here.
The next “skit” puts Ozzy and family in a fast food drive thru. Ozzy is repeating orders and people are unable to understand what he is saying. After they come back to the show Ozzy continues to act, no one can understand a word he is saying. FYI: Ozzy is here.
When Sharon asks Ozzy if he remembers their first date he answers, “No”. Let’s hope both Ozzy and all of us don’t remember this show. This leads into the “Mini Osbournes” part of the show. It is “mini” on laughs to say the least.
The end of the show puts the bald guy center stage with his longtime girlfriend. Sharon fakes a tear like the audience has been faking laughs. He says yes and Ozzy sprays a hose of frosting on the audience, his family, and the newly weds.
I was hoping the spray would come through the television, hit me in the eyes, and numb the pain of the last half hour.

If you read the article, it doesn't sound like a "hit" at all. It sounds like the last dying gasps of my respect for a metal legend. The other show was bad enough, but I somehow managed to look the other way. A f***ing variety show? For once I just don't have the words...
Very funny review. I'm sure it's funnier than the show!
There's a part of me that can't believe what I'm reading and another part that completely expected this kind of bollocks. What confuses me is when Ozzy made a public apology for the success of The Osbournes is Classic Rock magazine a few years back and then he agrees to this. Whatever.
Yeah, saw it (I didn't have a choice in the matter. I was at home, doing nothing else, mom and sister wanted to see it). I knew it was gonna suck when everyone mentioned it.
Its very shameful to see what Ozzy has become. I remember when him and Sharon were at the Nordstrom at Tysons Corner Mall promoting the Affliction line. That sucked too.

What a disgrace! Positivily the worse form of what they perceive as entertainment I have ever watched. Shame on them, how dare they put this on at a family hour. Shame on channel 5,organizing a group and legal action as we speak to rid the air of this horrific display. Sharon is at the bottom of it all,l was'nt she punsihed enough, should'nt she be grateful for her life, and her physical condition. She runs the risk of being sticken again with a problem, and yet that does'nt even enter her mind. She is more focused on this rubbish, than supporting cancer care, or something important. How do you sleep at night!

Yeah, it looks like it's gonna be quite the new "hit" for FOX TV - The OSBOURNES Reloaded TV Show. Those two little cute kids that protrayed Sharon & Ozzy Osbourne really really throw me a loop, their were adorable but the words that came from their mouths...'oh my goodness! Hell of funny, and the scene when Ozzy & Family are working in Fast Food is outrageous..'giggles all the way, this show. peace!
