Whatever footage those omnipresent cameras caught of the medical and substance abuse travails that landed the Osbournes in the tabloids and the gossip columns must have wound up on the cutting room floor. Instead, these 10 episodes that concluded the Emmy-nominated season 2 amp the Osbournes' hysterical dysfunctions to 11. The internecine warfare between siblings Jack and Kelly goes Fallujah in "What a Boy Wants" and "Fists of Fury," an episode that, according to one website, features 135 bleeped obscenities, which must be a series benchmark. But in time-honored, reassuring sitcom convention, family ties are reinforced by episode's end. When the dust has settled in "Fists," Jack and Kelly bond in the kitchen over Easy Mac. Nothing unites the fractious Osbournes like obnoxious neighbors, but in "Tennis Racket," not even Jack's drumming or Ozzy's stereo blasts can stop their incessant tennis-playing neighbors. Jack enjoys something of a breakout half season. He turns 17 and goes Medieval (Times) in "What a Boy Wants." He hooks up with Kurt Cobain's sister in "A Little Ditty About Jack and Brianne" (which also features the surreal sight of a panty-clad Courtney Love reciting Shakespeare!). Another snapshot for the Osbourne family album is Ozzy and Jack disrupting a fishing trip by lobbing firecrackers at birds in "Angler Management." Throughout, Ozzy is his delightful, addled self. In "Run Ozzy Run," his new car's voice-recognition system can't understand him (for viewers with the same problem, this DVD includes the helpful Ozzy Translator). In "What a Boy Wants," a dentist administers the "Ozzy level" of nitrous oxide, with debilitating results. The season ends with a Dallas-esque mind-bleep of Bobby-in-the-shower proportions that calls the reality of the series in question. How brilliant to give the Osbournes the last laugh on us. --Donald Liebenson

Series 2 1/2 (Not sure why they called it this; it is just as long as the other two) is so very, very good. We get to see more of the England house and all of the Oz's gold records. WOW! The series is typical of the family and is great fun. The only issue I have with it is the final episode, and I won't discuss it here. I am not sure if this was supposed to be a joke or a spoof of other reality TV series. I only hope that there are more shows in the future. NOT FOR KIDS!

I love The Osbournes! I love reality shows like this that aren't necessarily competitions (my favorites are always early eliminated), but are just a bunch of people interacting. And these guys are my favorite family ever. It's hilarious and entertaining whenever, and it's great to watch their various personalities clash, and even when they're getting along it's almost tumultuous. This 1/2 season is no different, and though it's only 1/2 a season, it really is worth having, if only for the last episode. I just love this show.

I am wondering the same thing this person is asking! Would LOVE to see the Osbournes DVD's come out ALL THE SEASONS! They were hilarious and loved watching them. What's the deal on this? If they ever do come out I know I will be buying them. Anyone know what the hold up is?
