All Aboarrrrd!! Ah Ha Ha Ha Ha!! Fox Orders Six Episodes of The Ozzy Osbourne Variety Show!!

Published at:  Jul 07, 2008 8:26:12 PM CDT

I am – Hercules



Ozzy, Sharon, Jack and Kelly Osbourne will star in six episodes of a new Fox variety show. Older sister Aimee Osbourne will again apparently have nothing to do with her family’s televised endeavors. Ditto Elliot, Jessica and Louis, Ozzy’s kids from his first marriage.

The new show looks to be another “Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour,” full of songs and sketches, only with more E.T.-like shuffling about.

Read all of Variety’s story on the matter here.

    The only way this could justify its existence would be if at the end of the last show Iron Maiden could come out and egg the Osbournes where they sit.

    by prof. pop-cult

    As soon as ratings falter on either Fringe or Dollhouse, FOX will plug this in for a "try out" and then cancel the other show.

    by theseeker7

    Seriously, this family is approaching Aerosmith territory. I really know nothing about older sister Aimme, accept at this point she's the only Osbourne for whom I've any respect at all, for continuously choosing to not be a part of this ridiculousness. Good for her.

    by larry of arabia

    If I'm not mistaken the eldest daughter had enough integrity not to be on The Simpsons Family Smile-Time Variety Hour as well. (sorry about that blank post, don't know what happened there) I think Ozzy would make a great Love-Matic Grandpa, though.

    by sledge hammer

    You know, to better fit in with Fox's other triumphs of television, such as When Animals Attack and all it's bullshit derivatives. Although to be fair, Osbournes have been crap for so long now who could really tell anymore anyway?Remember when Ozzy was cool? You know, before he was "kewl"? I miss those days...

    I was at the pitch meeting and it sounds great....

    by smackfu

    So there's this father, who's an aging british rockstar, who walks like he just shit himself, and his wife and two kids. So the father gets up and he starts to juggle. Except this guy's had more silent strokes than a 13 year old on a camping trip with his parents, so of course he can't catch anything, he's just firing shit up in the air and huddling while they fall around him with this shocked befuddled look in his eyes.
    then he says something to the wife, but he's completely fucking incomprehensible and so is she. So he grabs the wife and he starts fucking her. He fucks her in the cunt, fucks her in the ass, between her tits, fucks her in the ear, at one point she flexes her arm and holds it there, and he starts fucking the old-lady-arm-skin pussy. While he's doing that the son joins in, whips it out and starts fucking Ozzy in the ass, only he's a teenager so he pretty much cums right away, right up Ozzy's ass. Ozzy says something in what sounds like Esparanto, then the daughter gets up on stage and sucks the cum out of his ass with a straw and spits it into a petrie dish. Right the mother starts to have her period, she she squats over the dish and shits an ovary into it. The daughter mixes up the dish, fertilizing the egg, then the father starts fucking the petrie dish fetus. Then the mother and the son get behind him, son lays down and the mother squats on his face and starts giving the father a rusty trombone...

    by laserpants

    At first it was kinda funny when Ozzy started to pimp out his drug addled self to be exploited on tv. Then it quickly got sad. Now its beyond sad, its almost an atrocity. Someone, please slip a mickey into his next drug cocktail that no doubt keeps him alive at this point? I think its time that Ozzy left this mortal coil; preferably by Viking funeral while snorting up crazy lines on his crazy train (and by crazy train he mean cocaine. Lots of it).
