DVD Review: Osbournes on DVD!
Summary: 5 Stars

1. There Goes The Neighborhood
We meet the family as they move into their new Beverly Hills home. After problems with the furniture, Ozzy displays his dismay with a tricky remote control. Later, Ozzy performs on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno", despite his nervousness. Kelly and Jack have a love-hate relationship and physically fight throughout the episode. The show closes with Sharon trying to sort through her funny family issues.

2. Bark At The Moon
The Osbournes are settling into their new house as their pets settle too. Some rambunctious pets ruin the furniture and leave "presents" on the ground. Sharon enlists a pet therapist to help the situation. Also, Kelly is pulled over by cops due to poor driving.

3. For The Record
The Osbourne clan visits the "Big Apple" sans Jack. As Ozzy makes many guest appearances on shows such as NBC's "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" and TRL, Jack goes to a "hippy" camp where he apparently breaks all the rules and has a miserable time. Then the family makes it home in time for Kelly's 17th birthday. Complete with cauldrons and contortionists, Kelly has a little too much fun and gets a tatoo. Meanwhile, a girl sleeps in Jack's room and the door is locked.

4. Won't You Be My Neighbor?
The epsiode begins with Kelly venting her anger to Ozzy because she has a ob/gyn appointment that she doesn't want to go to. Then Sharon and Jack get upset because their next door neighbors blast techno music at 2:00 in the morning. After Sharon sets them straight by yelling at them and, like an Osbourne, reveals all her opinions. A food fight begins when the neighbors perform a rendition of "My Girl" and ham, bagels, and the like enter the backyard next door. After the police pay a visit to the Osbourne home, and they are let off with a warning, Ozzy gets in on the action and breaks a window with a log.

5. Tour Of Duty
Ozzy is about to embark on a U.S. tour and realizes that he's out of shape. He enlists a personal trainer and tries to become healthy. Then, Kelly takes her mom on a shopping spree which leads to Kelly misplacing Ozzy's credit card. It's finally time to go on tour. Jack stays home so that he can start his own record label. Ozzy films a video that spoofs "Lady Marmalade" from Moulin Rouge. Ozzy gets upset with Sharon because she booked tour dates in close succession but then he takes to the stage.

6. Trouble In Paradise
Ozzy is still on tour but suffers a leg injury. Jack struggles to abide by the rules and worries the nanny a great deal. When the patriarch and matriarch return home, Jack is partying with his friends. This leads to a family meeting. Jack and Kelly tell their parents that their lives are different from anyone they know due to touring and fame. Sharon half-understands their dilemma but tells them that they have to stop taking advantage of their parents. Ozzy confronts Jack with his alcohol and drug use and tells Jack to look at how it has affected him. After the talk, Kelly has an epiphany and tells her mom that she will change her friends.

7. Get Stuffed
Ozzy still has a foot injury. As he takes too much medicine (with alcohol), he takes the dog out for a surreal walk. Kelly becomes upset because Jack has gotten a lot of recognition in his musical career while she has received none. Kelly seeks consolation from Ozzy, to which he provides little--but does confront Jack. Ozzy then tells the family that he wants to be alone for his birthday. Disregarding his request, the clan surprises him in Chicago and he is pleased.

8. No Vagrancy
Jack brings his friend, Dill, a professional skater that is no stranger to alcohol and drugs, into the house so that he can receive the hotel treatment that only the Osbournes could provide. He clashes with the mom and dad: 1) Ozzy never remembers meeting him 2) Sharon finds a bottle of Jack Daniels and attempts to pee in it 3) Dill messes up Sharon's Kitchen 4) Ozzy feels that he's overstayed his welcome. Eventually Dill agrees to leave (as if he had a choice) to Jack's chagrin. Also, Lola, the loveable bulldog, is given away without Jack's knowledge. Ozzy ultimately agrees to bring Lola back as long Jack provides the proper care to the dog.

9. A Very Ozzy Christmas
It's Christmas and the Osbournes celebrate as only they can. Sharon, Ozzy, and Jack are in New York on tour when they receive word that their security guard had been arrested for attempted burglary. They return home and Ozzy gets reacquainted with the dogs...Christmas morning approaches and Lulu (Ozzy's son from a previous marriage)visits. Ozzy helps make Christmas dinner and the meal is filled with feuding words and Kelly eventually leaves the table. Jack then receives a knife and Ozzy confiscates it.

10. Dinner With Ozzy
Ozzy reflects on his childhood, life, and family as he dines in front of a camera. He describes his problems and how he doesn't know what a 'normal' family would be. At the end of the episode Ozzy is presented with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Clips are shown of highlights of the family's first season.

I would reccomend this to any Osbournes fan, or if you want to know what the fuss is about, buy it and find out. The first season of 'The Osbournes' is great, packed with special features, never before seen footage and commentary.
