This show works on the basis that we, as humans, love observing the fads and foibles of others, and if they are famous, so much the better. I don't find it entertaining, so i don't watch it. As for the 'bogus press about bats', it is not unfortunately, bogus. Someone did throw a live bat on stage during an Ozzy concert, but the poor animal was stunned by the bright stage lights. In the heat of the moment, Ossie thought it was a rubber toy, and bit off its head - an incident he has never managed to escape. That aside, he and Black Sabbath are the pioneers of a musical genre that stradles the world today, and his influence cannot be over-stated. If you don't like the family, switch over, or off.
