The Osborne’s
When the Osborne’s was filmed Sharon negotiated with MTV to persuade them to film a program about her family’s life. The show first began airing in early 2002 and was a huge success. MTV Europe started filming the show in 2003.
The show allowed ordinary viewers to watch a day in the life of real time celebrities, The Osbournes. The show included one episode where Dr Phil McGraw paid the family a visit and listened as Ozzy, Sharon, Kelly and Jack shared their experiences and feelings of being an Osbourne. The show paid $20,000 per episode for the first season’s 13 episode run. Although Sharon had been planning the program for years networks did not want it shown until they has seen the success of Cribs. Aimee Osbourne didn’t want to appear on the show, but did make an occasional appearance in Season 2 as one of the commentators. She can also been seen briefly during the wedding vow renewal.
