it’s a hit because it shows the other side of the Ozzy everyone either knew, or had heard about — rock n roller, and shows him as a sweet, loving daddy in reading glasses and taking out the trash. It’s the incongruity of the two personas that makes it so fascinating.

He wasn’t to me, but to the people who never really knew ozzy or what he was about.  there is alot of "Osbourne" fans that never seen him, or listened to his music before.  Now, they watch the show, and they say "Holy Crap Batman!  Now I understand!  Now, the mystery is gone!"   Get it? – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -> "DON’T YOU KNOW WHAT’S ITS REALLY ABOUT" > Greta Van Someshit had Ozzy and Sharon on Fox. > and she was interveiwing them for an hour.  It was > interesting to see them out of a howard stern type > of interveiw, and in a more serious and professional > interveiw.  Plus, they talked alot about aimee and why > she didn’t want to be part of the "Osbourne’s". > And what they did, and where they were on 9-11 > when they were in Manhatten.  Not to far from the towers. > The strangest thing to me, is ozzy and sharon appear to > not realize why the show is so successful.  IMO, > The show is so successful because Ozzy was such a > mystery for all these years (35)…..and all the sudden, > the gates are opened up and we see and hear and know > EVERYTHING.  The reason the show is successful > and the most top rated cable show right now is because > it is taking all the mystery of ozzy, and feeding our > thirst for him.  Ozzy did say, he can tell the difference between > ozzy fans, and "osbourne’s" fans.  He will know I am an OZZY FAN! > when I see him in two months!  He also said he would like to have > a break from it all, because he is a rock star first, and this tv stuff > is all new to him….and its overwhelming him, altho he is > tremendously grateful for the success.  I just hope it don’t take > away from his shows.
