According to the review from DREW WELDON from LAKE PARK, GEORGIA, the uncensored versions are not available. However, DVD reviews from other sites say that each show starts with the dialogue censored, and you have to go and switch it to uncensored every time. While this is an inconvenience, it's not true to say that the uncensored versions are not available at all.

The season two set is incomplete. It does not include the last ten episodes of the season that were produced late in the season.

As season three has now started, hopefully the second half of season two will be released onto DVD along with the Christmas special.

They are not the typical American family, when it comes to the language. But the love they share, is what we all need.
Is there a house out there, that has sibling that don't fight? How about a spouse with a few problems? How about problematic children or teenagers? If you do than you need to write a book. Because what you see on the Osbournes is the truth of a real life family. We all don't use their language, but there problems are typical. I especially loved the re-newing of the vows. That was very special, especially after Ossie reunited Sharon with her Dad! Than her Dad gave her away at the wedding.
Ossie, you are so special.
I also could identify, with Sharon, and the entire family during her heath crisis. I have been there, and no matter what a family looks like on the outside, this family pulled together to get her through, and she maintained as much of a normal life as she could for them. I LOVE THE OSBOURNES! WE COULD LEARN HOW TO LOVE FROM THIS FAMILY!

I just watched a few episodes of the 2nd Osbournes season and it was just as funny, if not funnier than the first season. Seeing Ozzy fumble around his daily life and seeing his lights go on when he is on stage is amazing. Kelly and Jack drive each other crazy as usual and Sharon is there to referee, from her sick bed.

I highly recommend anyone to buy this. I have never been a fan of Ozzy's music but I love the show. I cannot wait for the 3rd season to come out.

Ozzy and pals have done it again! This time the series is much more warm. The fact that Sharon was diagonised with cancer only served to make the show reveal some stonger emotions. The kids are still brats and the Oz is still a madman, but you can tell that they truly love one another. Most reality TV is somewhat fake, and The Osbournes have obviously staged episodes, but the emotion is real. Very good DVD. Once again...NOT FOR KIDS.

Yes Season Two had some wonderful moments, but alot of it was just a phony show of wealth, and the kids trying to capitalize on their 15 minutes of fame. They are barely ever in the house together at the same time, they're always running to London or something. Kelly released her album during this time, and lets just say the charts speak for themselves. The first season was Osbournes at their best, this is like having to listen to Kelly screech while stepping in a turd from Lola

America's craziest family is back, and this time they're even funnier than the first season! I absolutely am addicted to this show. I can watch it over and over without ever getting sick of it. In an age where funny television shows are a dying breed, this one stands out from the rest of the reality tv/ comedy mush out right now. From Ozzy's battle to catch Moby Dick (um, fish don't like cheese, but whatever), to Kelly freaking out about her newfound fame, to Jack... well, being Jack, and of course Sharon (who at the time this season was taped was still battling cancer) who always just says whatever she wants (yay Sharon); this is a family that never ceases to have an interesting story to tell. They're the Beverly Hillbillies of the millennium (and I mean that in a nice way) - they have this balance of being just like any given American family - just as dysfunctional and crazy - only they have millions of dollars and cameras following their every move. It's basically the story of your family if your dad had been a 70's rock star.

The DVD itself is mostly like the first one. It has all 10 episodes of the season plus the option to turn on commentary by Sharon and either Aimee, Kelly, Ozzy, or Sharon's 4th child, Mimi (or Minnie?) the dog. The commentary isn't remarkable, though if you've seen all of the episodes a billion times (like me) you can just switch it on for something different while you watch the episodes. They don't say much (Sharon mostly says "I haven't seen this" or "Oh my g-d, I can't believe they put that in"). I'm not sure why they thought it was a good idea to have Aimee do commentary because all she does is say how stupid her family is and criticize whatever she sees. Ozzy will occasionally mutter and say "testing, testing," Kelly offers a few insights, and Mimi (or Minnie?) the dog will occasionally bark. There are a few 'bonus' clips of the family that were cut from the episodes, which are ok. There are a few games which are also mildly entertaining. The slightly amusing Ozzy translator (subtitles that can play during an episode whenever Ozzy speaks) is also back.

The bottom line... this is one of the funniest shows on tv and a fun DVD to have around to pop in and watch when you're bored or just sick of watching all of those other 'reality' shows. I got my entire family hooked on it, even though they are about the last people you'd expect to enjoy watching a dysfunctional rock star family on tv... but it's a show that can appeal to all types.

Whether or not you may believe "The Osbournes" is your particular cup of tea, I feel that it has an appeal that crosses generational lines. It shouldn't be dismissed summarily.
Despite the barrage of four-letter words.
One of the things that comes across with crystal clarity is that this family really, truly, deeply loves each other. It's unquestionable and freshly without any sort of cynicism you see on pretty much every other reality show save "Queer Eye".
Next, due to a combination of the magic of editing and the family's natural timing, this stuff is freakin' hysterical. Ozzy's comments on the pandemic dog poo situation, Sharon's frequently lacerating comments on popular culture, and the epic bickering between the two kids is recognized by anyone who has ever been a sibling, or given birth to them.
The ability to censor the cursing is kinda fun. The bleeps are funny in their own way, when whole sentences seem to evaporate. But the unrestricted torrent of often-playful vulgarity is oh-so funny. When Ozzy berates the ocean...yes, the ocean...to quit encroaching on the fire he's trying to build in front of his Malibu home to cheer up the ill Sharon, I was giggling madly.
He's as serious as a heart attack, which makes it all the funnier. He's not cursing the fact the water is trying to extinguish the fire; he's actually expecting the waves to respond as he yells "F off!"
His idea to fish from the shore, using cheese as bait had me on the floor, because to Ozzy, it's common knowledge that "fish love cheese."
Dismiss any prejudice you may have towards this show, and watch these ten episodes (plus outtakes). This is very funny television.

The Osbournes season 2 dvd is great. and I love the way you can change from uncensored to censored. I can't wait til season 3 comes out on dvd... and season 2 had 20 shows just on the mtv.com website but half of those were season 3. The next season I thought was better but I still love season 2 :)

Season 2 was good, however, "season 3" was better. The only dissapointment on this release I have are the commentaries by Sharon and Kelly, sometimes with Ozzy and Aimee. They don't talk much and when they do, it is usally Sharon saying "I've never seen this before???!!!" Very annoying. It is difficult to understand Ozzy. Aimee comes off sounding really bitter and mean, could be for show. Overall, the dvd is a must have for Osbournes fans!
