Where did all the viewers go? the Osbournes use to be the number one show in basic cable and even in all cable put together including pay cable shows such as HBO's mega hits. Last week they placed 13 with 4 million viewers campared to last year when they ringed up nearly 7 million each week. What happened?

You want me to take a guess? It kind of deals with that 'In' and 'Out' thing, imo. One minute you are in and the next minute you are out.

The first season was so fresh. They were totally new and just really showed off how dysfunctional they really were. Fame stepped in and made everybody really popular and they aren't so dysfunctional anymore. Season 2 is just how they are trying to capture their fame even more (Kelly's cd, Jack's acting appearances, the bobble heads, other products etc) Just my guess.

Exactly. I know exactly what you're saying, Shawn. It's exactly how I feel about the show.

I guess you guys are right. Look at survivor for instance. When it first came out it was the highest rated show of the summer. And it's ratings have dropped every season.
