I Got You Babe
You may want to throw away your television after you hear about this one. Seems that Fox thought it would be a good idea to let the Osbournes do a variety show ala Sonny and Cher. Yep, for at least six hours, the people of the world will be treated to Ozzy Osbourne singing I got You Babe each week with Sharon Osbourne and Jack and Kelly pairing off singing I'm A Little Bit Country. Ahh, television just doesn't get much more entertaining.
The crazy thing is FOX won the right to air the show after a bidding war ensued. Look, I enjoyed the first season of their show on MTV, but it was more because I wanted a look inside their life. I really have no desire to remember Ozzy Osbourne as a guy who embarrasses what is left of his career by watching him sing with a bunch of people headed for The Surreal Life or to watch him read cue cards as they do sketches. The only way on earth I would watch the show is if it were live with no 7 second delay. Now, that would be entertaining.
As it is though, I can just see Ozzy coming out in some Elvis jumpsuit or Kelly and Jack in matching sequined outfits trying to get themselves a little more money and restarting their 15 minute clock. Speaking of which, here is a question for you. Does the 15 minute clock start again or does it just get stretched out? I think we would all agree that Jack had his 15 minutes. Does this now mean that his clock is reset back to 14:30, or because in fact there will be another show he is entitled to more than 15 minutes?
15 minutes I can handle. Six one hour episodes sounds like torture. Oh, and if you think I'm making some kind of sick joke about the whole Donny and Marie or Sonny & Cher takeoff, think again. Fox in their press release said that is exactly how they envision this show. Do you get the feeling that Ozzy has no idea what he is being asked to do and that Sharon is just going to lead him into a set somewhere and have him start reading or singing what she tells him to do?
You know what though? I am so freaking sick of reality TV that something like this kind of comes off as refreshing and new. If they have good writers and can make me laugh, I'm all for this badly-needed change.
ReplyDeleteno kidding...still have to be better than the Whore's show or Lohan's...of course watching paint dry would be better than those but I digress...
ReplyDeletei thought the writers' strike was over?
ReplyDeleteUh..No Thanx! I've had my fill of Bulls*h*t T.V.
ReplyDeleteum, yeah, i'm with ent on this one. ozzy was great back in the day, but doing skits with sharon and the kids? no.
ReplyDeletei did watch that Denise Richards show and all i could think of were ENT's Notes that he took watching them.... hysterical!!
ReplyDeleteNever watched the Osbournes, never wanted to. Only reality TV I got hooked on was Amazing Race, and that's mostly because of where they traveled to.

ReplyDeleteHasn't this been the case for years?
Why are we surprised?
ReplyDeleteWholesome entertainment, brought to you by the same network conglomerate that
showcases Bill O'Reilly...
But as long as there's an audience for this mindless pap to distract the American people from the horror of war and economic destruction... why the hell not?

Come on this is a guy that doesn't even know how to work a microwave. I love his music but, the guy can't put two words together unless he memorizes it.
ReplyDeleteI don't want to watch an old fart with a fried egg as a brain doing a weekly show, unless Sharon wants the kids of the world to say NO to DRUGS. Sharon would have to prop the dazed and confused guy up in a corner. I thought the show Family Jewels with Kiss was about that.
I'd rather sit at the window and watch the damn squirrels try to eat out of the bird feeder, than see a weekly show of this family.
