At least 16 Fox TV stations refused to air the Osbourne family's "variety" special last night after seeing the promos for the program and looking at the six-minute "sizzle reel" that the network sent their way.

Ozzy Osbourne soaks the audience during the premiere of "Osbournes: Reloaded," which at least 16 Fox affiliates will not air because of questionable skits.
you mean the skit with the children cursing people out?? cussing up a storm might actually offend some people?? I thought I was the only one.
Well not only was it too much for the time slot - it was stupid.
Sad really.
and I don;t mean his children. I meant the very little kids they had doing it. THAT should offend anyone.
If they’ll end the show with Hannibal Lector eating Ozzie’s bloated, spotted liver I say go ahead. Air it. Then we’ll be through with these idiots.
From what little I dared to watch, no thank you. Talk about promoting completely immoral values.
Their family show was one thing, but this “variety” show is way too risque for Fox, and at the time slot it airs. As my mom would say - it’s just filth.
Between MMA cage fighting and a series featuring a guy whose brain is fried on God-knows-what, can Rollerball be far behind?
Bill Bennett (yes, a flawed human being himself)m and others warned about the “coursening of the culture” years ago.
We’re there.
I don’t know, from what I saw of it, I thought it was flippin funny.. especially Ozzy and Sharon as kids on the movie theater....
See what
it
did to me?
Agreed.
I kind of liked the “marry me now” bit, but the rest was feces.
That Cupid show was cute, though.
Ozzy is a little funny for about 1 minute but I cannot stand the rest of the family. The wife is the promoter of this crap and the kids are rejects.
Hasn’t Ozzie had his 15 minutes?
That’s one reason I abhor Will Ferrell and refuse to allow his movies on my television after he did that “Landlord” video with the little girl cussing, it was disgusting. I never liked Ozzy and his dysfunctional family anyway.
(Other than I know the MSM,...)
I never got the whole uproar that Bill Bennett was a hypocrite because he was a heavy gambler. Gambling isn’t a sin, according to his Roman Catholic faith, and he has never pronounced it so. They made it seem like he was gambling huge amounts of money, but from what I can gather:
Suppose he has this night in Vegas:
Bet 10, win 20, have 30
Bet 20, lose 20, have 10
Bet 5, win 10, have 15
Bet 10, win 5, have 20
Bet 10, lose 10, have 10
Bet 10, win 10, have 20
Bet 10, win 20, have 40
Bet 10, lose 10, have 30
Bet 10, lose 10, have 20
Bet 10, lose 10, have 10
Bet 10, win 10, have 20
Bet 10, lose 10, have 10
Bet 10, win 20, have 30
Bet 10, lose 10, have 20
Bet 10, lose 10, have 10
Bet 10, lose 10, walk away.
He spent a good while doing that. He bet $165. He’s out $10 for the evening.
OK, Bill Bennett’s rich. He can afford to spend a lot more. Then suppose he spends 100 nights doing that. The do it 100 times. That’s $1,650,000 “gambled” He’s out $100,000. That’s chump changed for him. Personally, that’s not my idea of a good time. But according to Bill Bennett’s faith, and given his wealth, it’s not immoral.
Now, I think he gambles in Las Vegas, I’d have issues with him financing all those mobsters and porn stars and a sleazy city which meets its budget in part with receipts from prostitution. That’s where I’d take issues with his behavior.
