Synopses & Reviews
The highest-rated MTV program in history, The Osbournes has taken the nation by storm. Whether it's the demon-head towel racks, the large crosses etched on every doorknob, or the bat-biting icon himself taking out the trash, every episode is a hilarious mix of reality and situational comedy.
Curfews, pets and pooper-scoopers, unwanted guests, lost credit cards, pesky neighbors, and praise for Pat Boone abound in the posh Beverly Hills estate that is home to shock-rocker Ozzy Osbourne, his take-no-prisoners wife and manager Sharon -- voted one of People's 50 Most Beautiful People -- and his two children: the deadpan, camouflage-wearing Jack and the Madonna-crooning, punk rocker Kelly. From throwing food at the neighbors to discussing safe sex with his children, Ozzy is every dad -- complete with French Vanilla-flavored Cremora coffee and fuzzy slippers. Featuring full-color pictures throughout, Officially Osbourne takes fans beyond the Prince of Darkness persona and into the bubbling hearts and minds of America's newest sitcom family.
"It's not often a book gets a chance to bite the head off the bestseller lists, " says Pocket Books Publisher Louise Burke about The Osbournes. And what would Ozzy say? Get the x!%& out of here!
Synopsis
HOME IS WHERE YOU HANG YOUR HORNSOnce upon a time (well, maybe it was last year) in the land of Oz (a place that looks a lot like Beverly Hills, California), reigning Prince of Darkness and heavy metal legend Ozzy Osbourne, his wife and sovereign ruler, Sharon, and teenage heirs to the throne gave MTV camera crews the keys to the kingdom for documenting the Osbourne way of life.
The result? The Osbournes. The history-making, Emmy-winning, media-frenzied, televison-family-concept-redefining reality series that America can't get enough of. The Osbournes are all can't-even-walk-down-the-street-anymore-to-grab-a-bite-to-eat famous.
You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll wish they lived next door to you (unless you've got the music cranked at 4:00 A.M.). So spend a little time in
Officially Osbourne is narrated by Aimee Osbourne and features exclusive soundbites from the show.
