This week’s failed pilot TL;DR:
The Osbournes who aren’t Ozzy drag Ozzy into a 50s style variety show. In 2006. An ill-conceived mess with a stunt that goes as badly as everyone should have expected.
Remember back in the mid 2000’s when we were all in love with the dysfunctional antics of the Osbourne family? Then remember by the late 2000’s when we were all completely over them? Well they didn’t!
