Earlier ozi was Osborns And after ozi Osborns,
For most time of his life, the founder and mythological heavy metal frontman of Black Sabbath, who died on Tuesday at the age of 76, was known as many people of the public, as a dark purveyor of works ranging from decadent to monotonous evil.
Wild stories followed him. The pastor condemned him. Parents filed a case against him.
But with the introduction of their family reality show on MTV, the world learned that those who were already paying attention to know: Ozi Osbourne was soft and fuzzy under the darkness.
During its relatively low runs from 2002 to 2005, Osborns A fugitive became a hit and made his wife Sharon and Kids Jack and Kelly stars. But even more, it created a star in the pet version of Oji Osbourne, and reality TV changed in the process.
In 2025, when there is a reality show in almost every type of celebrity, it is difficult to see what the series is. MTV sold it as the first “Reality Sutcom” of television.
Associated press media writer David Badder wrote on The eve of The Eve, “The idea of the founder of Black Sabbath, who will be known forever to cut the head with the bat during the 1982 concert, as a family person feels strange.” Osborns Premier. But in the show, Osbourne was “sweetly funny-and under everything a lot like you are watching in television sitcom for generations.”
A preacher Danny Dereney, who worked with Osbourne and was a lifelong fan, said of the show, “You saw some men who were eager. You saw some man who was getting funny. You had just seen a very real thing.”
“He is not a boy whom everyone connects with ‘the prince of darkness’ and all this madness,” said the Derane. “And people loved him. He was very successful for so many people because of that show. As a metal fans, we knew it. We knew who he was. But now everyone knew.”
At that time reality shows, especially popular competition shows SurvivorCompleted on high circumstances. For OsbornsNo bets were very low.
They sat on the couch. He ate dinner. Now-Subor Ozi snatched the diet coke, and urged not to indulge in alcohol or drugs when going out of his children. He struggled to find a history channel on his satellite TV. He used to quarrel with neighbors, because of all things, his loud music was driving the osborns mad.
“You were really attractive, attractive, bizarre, looking at the stress between a celebrity’s public personality and their worldly experiences at home,” said Catherine Vanierndonc, a critic for vulture and New York magazine.
The SICCOM tone was clear from its first moments.
“You turn on the show and you get it like a small jaizi cover theme song of the song ‘Crazy Train’, and all these shiny colors and fancy editing, and we just got to see it completely as a separate side, which was surprising and incredible to see,” said Nikar Karuso, the staff editor of the TVline.
Like the Family Sutom, its affection was clearly for each other, it was necessary for its appeal.
“For some reason, we fell in love in the same way, in the same way we moved to love Ozi and Sharon like a matrimonial unit,” Caruso said.
It was probably strange about the show how strange it was. Instead of contradictory, two Ozz looked comfortable.
“You are feeling that these things are personality and all the personalities are wide complex mosaics such as who is a person,” said Vanarendonak.
Osborns There were both immediate and long -term effects on the style.
Both Karuso and Vanarandonk said the show Newly married: Nick and JessicaAfter marrying the pop-pap stars Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachi, there were clearly a descendant.
And countless other shows felt its impact, from Kardashian To Baldwins – Recently, the reality series started on Alec Baldwin, his wife Hilaria and seven of his children.
,Baldwins Has been clearly modeled as a reality show OsbornsVanarandonk said. “It is as if you have these famous people and now you get to see what their household life is, what they are in the form of parents, what they are eating, what they are taking with them on vacation, who are their pets, and they are such cuddly, hot, eccentric figures.”
