Comedian Cosby can't laugh at Osbourne family

AP
Famous TV father Bill Cosby doesn't think much of the home life of his MTV counterpart, Ozzy Osbourne. "The Osbournes," an inside look at the life of heavy-metal rocker Osbourne; his wife, Sharon; and two of their children, has become a hit for MTV and the same kind of water-cooler show that Cosby's "The Cosby Show" was in the 1980s. Some observers, including former Vice President Dan Quayle, have called the Osbournes dysfunctional but loving. Cosby thinks less of them. "This is a sad, sad family. It is a sad case. The children are sad and the parents are sad. And this is not entertainment," he told "Access Hollywood" in an interview airing Friday. "It is the kind of entertainment that you look at but you wouldn't want it in your home. And I don't like to look at things like that," added Cosby, who played wise and funny dad Cliff Huxtable in "The Cosby Show."
