Osbournes: Reloaded Shoots Itself in the Head
March 31st, 2009 by Evil Beet
I haven’t gotten around to watching the new Osbournes variety show yet (not that I was ever planning to), but the early reviews are god-awful.
Says Entertainment Weekly:
On The Osbournes: Reloaded, Ozzy, Sharon, Kelly, and Jack were just pathetic. No wonder Fox kept chopping this proposed hour-long “variety show” into an ever-smaller size before airing it. The network is supposed to air five more Reloadeds. Don’t hold your breath. Or maybe, do hold your breath: The stink of this show will last a long time.
Thus far, Fox affiliates in Panama City, Milwaukee, Cincinatti, Knoxville, Kansas City and Utah have elected to either not carry the show or air it after midnight rather than in its suggested post-Idol time slot.
And from the reviews, it sounds like these affiliates aren’t being prudish, the show is just REALLY awful and offensive. But not in a creative and envelope-pushing way, just plain old gross for the sake of being gross.
Fox was originally going to air five more episodes of the show in the fall, but somehow I doubt that’s going to happen at this point. Heads are gonna roll for this at Fox.
So is it over now? Is the Osbournes thing finally over now? Has our national love affair with these people at last signed the divorce papers? Can we, America, please be the strong ones in this relationship, and end it once and for all, so that the Osbournes can heal and move on?

IT WAS HILARIOUS! Sick, wrong and fabulous! Have we lost our sense of humor as a Country? My husband and I laughed our asses off.
Same here! My hubby and I laughed all the way through it, too. I hope they keep it on.
Didn’t watch it. Surprisingly enough, Ozzy is the only one that I don’t dislike.
I thought the show was HILARIOUS!!!
Guess you are wrong Evil Beet–it was a ratings smash! I hope the air the rest of the shows.
