Ozzy Osbourne, who died at 76, became a popular figure through the MTV reality show The Osbournes, where he hilariously navigated family life with Sharon, Kelly, and Jack. This show, unlike any before, contributed to his fame exceeding that of his music career. Osbourne's upcoming memoir will discuss his music career's conclusion, while his 2009 memoir reflected on the unexpected adventure of The Osbournes, whose unique filming approached led to an impressive support structure from MTV crew.
Our first big mistake was letting them do all the filming at our real house. Most of the time on telly, everything's recorded in a studio, then they cut to stock footage... But no one had done a show like The Osbournes before, so MTV just made it up as they went along.
First they set up an office in our garage - Fort Apache, I called it, 'cos it was like some military command post. They put all these video monitors in there... It was very impressive, the way MTV organised the logistics; those guys could invade a country, they're so good.
And I have to admit, it was a laugh for a week or two. It was fun having all these new people around. And they were good guys - they became like family after a while.
