AIBU to cringe now at The Osbournes?

Just started rewatching The Osbournes from the beginning and my god! Maybe it’s because I’m a lot older now but I see it so differently - I used to think it was funny and their house was amazing etc - now as I rewatch - Sharon and the kids were so cringy, constantly going on about money and how much stuff costs. The episode with the neighbours where Sharon is shouting “silly little British white boy” over the fence - I had second hand embarrassment for her! She sounded so silly! They must have been laughing their heads off at her.
“Living off daddy’s money” - I so wish they’d have thrown that back at her regarding living off her husbands money!

Also watching back - the house was an absolute tip! Every surface was full of clutter and mess, everything stained - I mean, I’m not house proud either but Christ - a million dogs shitting and pissing all over the floor, rugs, sodas, beds - the house must have stank.

I love Ozzy - and he’s the only one that comes across well in it. Don’t even get me started on the Courtney love stuff.

Anyone else rewatched it and see it differently? What did you think of it first time you watched it?

Opposite way round.

They've always been a car crash but she is a businesswoman in her own right

He wouldn't be without her!! He was booted out of Black Sabbath for his drug use, she built his career.

Didn't she used to manage him and his band? Chicken and egg etc. She's rich in her own right.

She doesn't live off Ozzy's money. She works bloody hard and holds the pieces of that man together!
