The Fox trainwreck Osbournes: Reloaded hasn’t even had its chance to experience a 75% dropoff in ratings from American Idol yet, but already Family Of Darkness patriarch Ozzy Osbourne is disavowing a segment of the show in which the family “hilariously” works the drive-through window at a burger joint: “Not to my liking, to be honest with you. I didn’t get involved in the entertainment business to do fast food restaurants. These people really work… I come from a working-class background. I’ve never forgotten that. I’ve done my share of destroying hotel rooms and all of that stuff. It makes me realize they’re still out there and they’re still doing them jobs.” And paying for Ozzfest tickets! Oh, wait. But Ozzy isn’t the only member of the family whose grin-and-bear-it publicity-tour routine is slipping. After the jump, Kelly and Jack grit their teeth through an interview segment on the always hard-hitting TV Guide Channel. See how long you can make it through without cringing!
Probably not, but that hasn’t stopped CBS from giving John Mayer the green light to have one later this season, nor has it prevented Fox from allowing the Osbournes to take over part of its schedule later this spring. Even in the wake of the bomb that was Rosie Live, television programmers are turning to the Cher-tested formula in these hard times, knowing that, hey, at least it won’t be as embarrassing as airing an infomercial during the 8 p.m. hour. (It won’t, right?) Some questions about the shows answered, after the jump.
