Return of the non-footy controversy

Not sure if it's being shown outside North America, yet, but if so....has anyone been watching The Osbournes on MTV?

For those who haven't heard of it, it's a 'reality' sitcom type of show starring Ozzy Osbourne and his family, and all their dogs and cats. Poor Ozzy is a walking poster child for the dangers of excessive drugs and booze. Recent episodes have featured Ozzy doing aerobics, Ozzy's wife and son battling the next door neighbors who insisted on blasting cr@p music at 2am, and Ozzy and his wife lecturing their teenage children against late nights, fake ids, clubbing, drugs and drinking.

The world's most dysfunctional family! And I admit I'm now hooked on the show because I just cannot believe anyone can be that fcuked up and still function! ;-)

I've heard of it, but it's not yet out here. Apparently it will be soon though.

I heard it was the most popular (in terms of viewers) MTV show in history. Is that true?

I've heard it's a hit, but haven't heard any numbers. Supposedly even Prez Shrub loves the show. But then it's probably because Shrub recognizes his intellectual equal in Ozzy. ;-)

Honestly, I thought the first ep of the series wasn't very good, but all subsequent eps have been hilarious.
