Ozzy Osbourne had a lot of success with Black Sabbath and later solo, but the success of MTV’s The Osbournes saw the star reach new audiences.
Fans “just fell in love with” the Osbourne family following the release of their reality show because they adored the clan’s affection for each other, an expert said.
Speaking following the rock legend’s death aged 76, those who knew Ozzy have paid heartbreaking tributes to the star. Many have praised Ozzy’s work both as a musician and as a reality TV star, as which he found fame following the four series’ of The Osbournes on MTV. It aired between 2002 and 2005, some decades after Black Sabbath’s heyday – though the band were still going at the time – and critics say it showed a different side to dad-of-six Ozzy.
We just got to see this like a completely different side of Ozzy, according to Nick Caruso, staff editor at publication TVLine, and the program’s staff editor, who was on the show, was “unbelievable and incredible to watch. We kind of developed a relationship with them in the same way that we developed feelings for Ozzy and Sharon.
Mr. Caruso praised the warmth and ability to captivate viewers by comparing The Osbournes to a family sitcom. Kelly and Jack, Ozzy and Sharon’s children, also appeared in the 52-episode program, which was regarded as a pioneering work in its field.

The program’s tone was also praised by Kathryn VanArendonk, a critic for Vulture and New York Magazine. You were seeing this eerily intriguing, intriguing, and bizarre tension between a celebrity’s public image and their everyday life, she said. You are beginning to realize that these things are personas and that they are all elaborate, intricate mosaics of who a person is.
The family sat down on the sofa for dinner and exchanged conversation during the program. When going out with his kids, Ozzy advised them to avoid using drugs or alcohol. On his satellite TV, he had trouble finding the History Channel. The neighbors’ families got into a fight because, above all, their loud music was causing the Osbournes to snooze. The Osbournes won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Reality Program in 2002 after just one season.
The Osbourne has had an impact on countless reality TV programs, including The Kardashians and The Baldwins, according to the industry. According to Ms. VanArendonk, “You have these famous people and now you get to see what their home lives are like, what they are like as parents, what they are eating, what they are taking on with their vacations, and who their pets are, and they are these kind of cuddly, warm, eccentric figures.”
