Amazon.co.uk Review
The first series of IThe Osbournes/I is a hilarious fly-on-the-wall documentary concerning the day-to-day domestic misadventures of Ozzy Osbourne (former frontman of Black Sabbath), his relatively sensible wife Sharon and their kids Jack and Kelly. Having made his millions and been to rock roll hell and back, Ozzy seems content nowadays to put his feet up in the sofa of the kitchen of his palatial Beverly Hills abode. However, a host of problems--including poorly toilet-trained domestic pets, noisy neighbours, his continuing obligations as an ageing metal superstar, his inability to operate the state-of-the-art telly and his ever-quarrelsome kids flapping fractiously about the place--forbid him a moment of peace. p This real-life sitcom fodder has led many to describe the Osbourne family as "dysfunctional"--however, despite the generous helpings of expletives with which the series is garnished, like IThe Simpsons/I, they're actually a loving and stable family unit underneath it all. The series isn't perfect--the stylised MTV treatment is occasionally obtrusive and more Ozzy and less of the career-hungry teen brats would be welcome. Still, it's a gloriously refreshing change from the usual bland evasiveness of celebrity profiles. p BOn the DVD/B: IThe Osbournes/I boasts a welter of wittily packaged special features. These include a commentary track ("Aww, look at Kelly, being nice! Can't we have that Kelly back?"), an "Ozzy translator" (English subtitles) for the benefit of those bamboozled by his Brummy accent and "Ozzy's Ten Commandments" delivered impromptu by the great man, tidied up into biblical-speak in the subtitles ("Thou shall cling tight to the moneybelt of thy father"). Although Sharon declares that she's "worried about the oranges" on the DVD, she needn't be. Given that this is a transfer from video, it looks clean and pristine, necessarily so in that it enhances the colourful, almost cartoon air of the series. Sound wise, there are no problems either, despite the competing setbacks of thick accents, background music, "voices off" and barking. Everything is picked up, from offhand grunted remarks to ear-splitting tantrums. --IDavid Stubbs/I

 The Osbournes DVD is hillarious! a Must Buy! April 17, 2003
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
The Osbournes debuted on MTV last year in the UK and has been a big hit, when It was eventually shown on Channel 4 I started to watch it from the 4th episode I was totally hooked. When the series came to the end, I wanted to see more, well The Osbournes on DVD is finally out to buy and fans will without a doubt want to get hold of this fantastic DVD! All 10 episodes are included and all UNCUT so this ones defiantly not one for the kids, with all the strong language and with an "18" rating. There are TONS of extras included atleast 30 + unaired footage from episodes 2-10, interviews, photo gallery, a funny "match the turd with the dog game", edit a scene, DVD rom extras, hidden easter eggs, an Ozzy Translator which is a feature some may want to use if your having trouble making out Ozzy's Brummie accent plus loads more to find. Even the sub menus are great like on the 2nd disc you see Lola (Jacks'Bulldog) licking the special features titles away you have to see it to know what I mean it's hillarious! I can't recommend this DVD enough If you like a BIG laugh this is a must buy and the DVD is stuffed full of great extras! Buy it!
Great series with a great DVD to match July 15, 2003

This DVD is a must for all fans of the Osbournes. All episodes from the first series are included as well as superb special features such as commentries, unseen footage and the finest moments of each Osbourne (and Lola). This is a hilarious DVD, with two discs which really leaves you feeling spoilt by the extras.
This DVD is f*****g hilarious... April 7, 2003

...Ozzy is mad, his wife is mad, his kids are mad and thedogs are insane. If you didn't catch the series on TV this is a must have and if you did it then you have gotta get it cos it is absolutley class. pThe fight with the neighbours is a piece of pure comedy which never fails to make me laugh.pThe extras are excellent and the episodes are classic. pBuy it, what ever you do buy it now!!!!!

I found the first series of The Osbournes very helpful to understand the madness of their life!!!!!!!brOzzy you just love for being honest and dosent hold anything back especially when he saw the set to his stage with BUBBLES!!!!brSharon has excellent one liners such as when Jack hadnt got out of bed.brKelly is just every girls idol, she gets to stay out as late as she wants and has reasons to make alot of noise, but it always seems to be Jacks fault.brJack is the most gorgeous, personality that is. He really doesnt give a f**k. Only what his clubbin mates think and finds it very hard to apoligise when things always go wrong for him.brOverall this series is a must have for Osbourne lovers!!!!!!
uncensored and hilarious! April 13, 2003
