Ginko Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 (edited) Haha.the osbournes was funny but it did turn him into a bit of a joke, but that's ozzy. People could not believe it was real. Loveable rogue and one crazy bastard It wasnt real. The situations were staged and half-scripted, half ad-lib. I'm not saying that certain elements of their characters didn't shine through, they clearly did, but it certainly wasn't like they left cameras in their house and let them go about their daily lives. They definitely exaggerated and played up to the cameras. It's the same with all these shows like Jersey and Geordie Shore, TOWIE, Made in Chelsea. The Osbournes and The Hills were forerunners to these shows. All semi-scripted with the actors appearing more stupid, selfish and dickish than they really are. The Osbournes was the only decent one, the rest are pure trash TV and utter tat. Edited December 27, 2013 by Ginko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted December 27, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted December 27, 2013 The Hills, TOWIE and Made iN Chelsea are way more scripted than the other shows. Jersey/Geordie Shore and The Osbournes are staged somewhat, but they're real people. It is "reality" TV to an extent, it's just that they're put into certain scenarios to make it more "interesting". Whereas the former shows that I mentioned are genuinely fake. Like storylines, characters etc. They're the new WWF, in that they keep up this pretence, even in public, that it's all real.

Ye maybe jack and kelly played up to camera and also sharon but no way would ozzy do that. Ozzy even said 99% of filming they did not use because it was just normal day to day life. They wasted hours of filming doing that show and only used the funny bits and crazy shit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They wasted hours of filming doing that show and only used the funny bits and crazy shit You say that, but... I remember dialogue between him and Jack, where Jack was saying basically: "Dad, you should stop doing this, people aren't laughing with you, they're laughing at you". Ozzy's reply was something like: "Of course they are, son - I'm in showbiz. It's what I get paid for". He may be thick in some respects, but he knows perfectly well what he's doing. On a different note - 'Christmas With the Sex Pistols", last night. Absolutely brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phily85 Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 (edited) Anyone watched mad dogs any idea what the end was all about? I don't like the trend of ending a tv series with a figure it out yourself ending , when you have invested time into a series I think you deserve a better payoff then some random end and a get out of it's what you make of it Edited December 29, 2013 by phily85 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 He's not funny. He reminds me of a guy in school who thought he was funny by saying jokes with an admirable but misplaced self-conviction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turnbull Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 (edited) Despite how terrible it is, it would feel weird not to have it on in the background on New Year's eve. True I'll admit. Charlie Wilson has been superb though. And downhill it goes with 2 scots doing their "other hit". Edited January 1, 2014 by turnbull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
