My favorite Ozzy quote-"I'm not picking up another f--king turd!! I'm a Rock Star!!"

My favorite Sharon line, about the bulldog (can't remember his name) "He sh-ts Aliens!!"

Love that show!!

Soeur, thanks for that article, it cleared up a mystery for me.

I noticed all the references to "Black Sabbath" the Osbournes kept making. Never being a fan of Heavy Metal music I didn't know what they were talking about!
I didn't know they had an older daughter, either.

I love this show, Ozzie obviously adores his family (including the "zoo") and they adore him back, but they have just enough of an edge to be interesting.

FYI, I'm old enough to remember that documentary on the Loud family, urg!

My new favorite line, from Sharon:

"Martha Stewart can kiss my scrotum! ... Do I have a scrotum?"

Thanks, Soeur.. I gave in and signed up as a CEO or a religious organization making $150,000, job title "cleric".

I'm already sad knowing there are only 12 episodes :(

And wouldn't you know that other networks are scrambling to replicate this success! Don't they realize that will only create a pale imitation?

I'm thinking Sharon is brilliant.. what a great way to "market" Ozzy; certainly pulling in all sorts of new fans.

Ah.. another article.. reprinted in my paper from the NY Daily News

MTV wants a bigger dose of reality

The success of "The Osbournes" and others prompts orders for new shows, many centered on dating.

by Donna Petrozzello

(I'm just going to write up the stuff about Osbournes)

A reality show built around bat-biting heavy-metal vocalist Ozzy Osbourne has proven a big success for MTV. Now the network is hoping it can hit reality-series gold again this spring.

The music channel has ordered six new reality-themed shows - some of which will air this month, others later in the season. The new pickups come after the success of "The Osbournes" which follows the home life of Osbourne and his family. The series airs Tuesdays at 10:30pm

More than 4 million viewers tuned in "the Osbournes" last week, and ratings have improved by 75 percent since its launch March 5, according to Nielsen Media Research data released by MTV.

In fact, MTV may extend the show's run to 13 episodes, up from the 10 editions originally scheduled to air through mid-May, a network spokesman said Monday.

MTV programming President Brian Graden attributed the appeal of "The Osbournes" to the interaction among Ozzy, his wife and manager, Sharon, and two of the couples's children, Jack and Kelly.

"This family will say just about anything to each other," Graden said. "They're magnificently functional."

The rest of the article is about the six new shows MTV is planning.

It's funny that both articles used the same picture of Ozzy.

I went looking and there is no biography written about Ozzy even though he has had such an interesting life. When he was a juvenile he was in jail for robbery (that is where he got his first tattoo). After getting out he joined up with the other members to form what was eventually called Black Sabbath. They were the first heavy metal band and their manager was Don Arden (Sharon's dad). They had a very wild time and were seriously using drugs. Ozzy was fired by the group. Sharon stuck with Ozzy when he was cut loose and there was a permanent rift with her father. Sharon ended up being his manager and together they have been very successful. Ozzy frequently says that if it were not for her he would be dead. There are some very interesting interviews around online with Ozzy from those days which show him to have always been very honest and without pretense. He really is survivor.

It was PRICELESS when Ozzy fell over in the chair

I swear I laugh more at this crazy show than anything else. guess most of my shows are too serious.. CSI, er, 6 feet under.. not that they don't produce laughs but.. Ozzy's an upper.

I at first had no desire to watch the show. Never been a Ozzie fan after hearing about some of his antics on stage. But I have watched every show except for one, and have come to like Ozzie, and I really like his wife sharon, and the dogs and their children. I guess that makes me weird huh ? :)

Miss Libra! I even went to a concert of his last month. The audience was a real mix of ages and types of people. The one thing they had in common was loving Ozzie. My son's interest in him and admiration for his music is why I got to know him. My first impression when I started reading up about him was to be appalled but then I saw an interview with him which was part of an in-depth profile. After that I was a big Ozzy fan. The songs he writes are very autobiographical and reflect who he is and what he was going through at the time. Not at all what I had thought heavy metal was. After seeing the concert the concert, I would love to see him again and am really looking forward to the show. If you read some of the online articles about him you will be fasicinated. This is a very interesting guy.

I just finished watching 2 hours of Ozzy, and I haven't laughed that hard in a really long time!! I've even seen them already, but I had to record them for future down times that I need a laugh. It's great therapy!! The next new one is going to be great!! My favorite show is with the dogs!! Ozzys comment about not cleaning up turds, cause he's a rock star, and Sharons comment about Lola, the bulldog, he shits aliens. Love that show!!

If someone would have told me I was going to be watching a show with Ozzy and that I would love it I would have told them they were crazy!!!
I caught one on tape by accident and was hooked within 3 minutes, I couldn't take me eyes off the tv!! I just love Ozzy and his family!!!!! Just goes to show you really can't judge a book by the cover!!! I FELL offf the bed from laughing when he fell in the chair!! You can't write stuff this funny! I hope they do this every year! You can see the love this family has for one another and that makes it all the better, I hope my hubby and I are this in love 22 yrs from now!

I loved when Ozzy told Sharon, I'm not f***ing doing Albequerqe and the next scene shows him saying 'How ya doing Albequerqe'!!!! Love it!!

another one...'Bubbles?!! I don't want f***ing bubbles! I am the Prince of f***ing Darkness!"

They showed a very long clip for next weeks show on Acess Hollwood, where the parents are giving the kids the serious drug talk....priceless!
