OMGoodness! What a brave women to go through this on national TV for everyone to see her at such a fragile and personal moment. :( I pray that her illness be cured.

I hope that Sharon fully recovers from this ordeal. I will definitely watch Season 2 to follow her progress. What a shame :( I don't wish this to happen to anyone.

From ET
 

Sharon regrets doing the show, she wanted to pull out, but the financial ramifications (that would follow) made her do the remaining shows.
Ozzie has started drinking again.
The kids have agents and business people.

Ozzie and Sharon are going an interview with Barbara Walters on 20/20. Ozzie breaks down (in tears) duing the interview.

Ugh!
 

Hol' up, hol' up, ho'l up!!! I am sitting here watching the Barbara Walters 20/20 special and I cannot believe what I'm hearing. When I first started watching the Osbournes, I thought they were a cool family. Now I just think they're retarded.

Ozzy- A violent, alcoholic drug addict who bites the heads off doves and bats
Sharon- wife of Ozzy, who obviously had low self-esteem upon meeting Ozzy. She said herself no one had ever showed any romantic interest in her before him. Is that why she chose to stay with a man who attempted to MURDER her and who abused drugs and alcohol in the home with three small children??? What kind of mother allows all three of her children to drop out of school at 15 and 16 years old?
That's ridiculous! Even if she didn't finish high school, most decent parents want their children to be better off than they were (not always financially). So right now, there are three Osbourne children under the age of 19 who don't work, have the education of 10th graders, and who cannot form a regular sentence without using a four letter explitive!:rolleyes: I mean, I thought Sharon was cool, but she's stupid. And the comment she made about she doesn't mind her children cursing her because she curses them...WTF? YOU are the parent! I mean, yes, they have lots of money. But what happens should Sharon lose her battle with cancer and Ozzy's depression gets the best of him? The money is going to last forever so the children will be well off right? Oh, my bad, that's right!....Kelly and Jack are relying on their musical abilities and talents:rolleyes:

Since I didn't see it tonight, what was the "big" thing that Sharon was going to reveal that her family didn't know?


QTE

NoworNever, tell us how you really feel! :)

1. You have to watch the Behind the Music on Ozzy to get the bat story. Ozzy suffers from low self esteem and is a drug and alcohol addict, so some of his behavior occurred while he was under the influence. On their wedding night, he blacked out and tried to choke Sharon. When he sobered up the next day, he didnt recall doing that to her.

2. Jack and Kelly are still in school, they are being tutored.

3. The cursing, hey, I cant argue with you there, but I admire the Osbornes for saying what they mean at all times. Yeah, its VERY unorthodox, even RUDE at times, but you cant say that they dont communicate (ok, Ozzy maybe..)

4. I admire Sharon for being so brutally honest about her life and fiercely protective of her family.

The the renewed MTV contract, which is supposed to be for 20 episdodes, will be cut to 10 episodes. But then after the special, Barbara said that she changed her mind and has made it 20 again.:rolleyes:

Last night Sharon made no mention of tutoring, maybe I missed or didn't hear her say so. Her explanation for not having them in school was that her children aren't scientist, they can read and write, as if that's the only thing that mattered. Now I watch the show because it's comical to me, even though I don't understand what the hell Ozzy is mumbling half of the time. With all the ^&*% offs and ^&*@ yous that goes on around the house, why is the thought of the children being a dropout surprising to me? Even though their family is one of the strangest families I've seen ever, through all of the dysfunctional episodes, you still see the love they have for each other.

Doesn't he also have Attention Deficit Disorder as well? That's what I have been hearing. Can someone please clarify this for me? :confused:

Yes, he does. I'm sure a lot of his issues were amplified by the years of addiction.

Half of the time he can't seem to complete a sentence b/c he would lose track of his thoughts. Pretty sad I think.

Thanks for the clarification. :)

it is sad.. it looks like he has a very mild form of Parkinson's Disease at times. :(

I love the Osbournes, I love them so much I am considering getting my cable cut back on to watch the new season!

I'm afraid that I am another victim of overdramatized reality telivision. I tried not to watch the Osbournes but I just couldn't help it. They were just too weird to ignore. That reminds today is Tuesday and The Real World comes on tonight. Does anyone else watch the real world?;)

I do, and I will be tuning in tonight to see what happens between Irulan, Alton, and Gabe (Irulan's boyfriend).
