The Osbournes New Episodes
The show will once again follow the real-life drama of everyone's favorite rock-n-roll family, the Osbournes. Ozzy, Sharon, Jack, Kelly, the dogs, the cats, the assistants, the band, the roadies, the security guards, the neighbors, Melinda the nanny, and the rest will be back on MTV in the Fall to the delight of millions of fans around the world.
"We couldn't be happier to have the entire Osbourne family back for more episodes," said Van Toffler, President of MTV & MTV2. "We desperately love the show, we love the Osbournes, including all of their pets, and hope to bring the entire universe into their twisted unpredictable lives for many years to come."
"We are truly overwhelmed by the incredible response to the show," said Sharon Osbourne. "We never expected that by inviting MTV and the world into our home, we'd get such a positive reaction from fans young and old. It's been absolutely [bleep]ing amazing."
"MTV is consistently taking chances on new genres and types of programming with great success," said Brian Graden, President of Entertainment, MTV & VH1. "'The Osbournes' is a perfect example of the kind of creative lightning in a bottle that has produced such pop culture phenomena as 'Real World,' 'TRL,' 'Cribs,' and 'Jackass.' We're looking forward to working with the Osbournes for another season filled with their irresistible humor and unique lifestyle."
The new episodes of "The Osbournes" will feature the same insanity, affection, mayhem, and drama that have become the family's calling cards. MTV cameras will follow the family over several months, at home and on the road, documenting the ups, downs, highs, lows, and the just plain bizarre for our viewers.
It was also announced today that MTV will air a number of Osbournes specials throughout the Summer 2002, including stops on Ozzfest, an Ozzy and Sharon special, and a very special dinner with the Osbournes. Details will be announced shortly.
For the new episodes the Osbournes are once again giving MTV nearly unlimited access into their personal and professional lives. MTV will follow the family 24/7 to record and capture the family's daily lives.
For the new episodes of "The Osbournes," Lois Curren is Senior Vice President, Music Development and executive in charge of production for MTV, Greg Johnston is the Executive Producer for MTV, and Rod Aissa is Vice President, Talent Development, MTV.
