Cultureshock (2018–…): Season 1, Episode 2 - The Osbornes - full transcript

(hard rock music)

- [Reporter] Ozzy Osbourne
is the demented king

of heavy metal rock.

- [Jack] The global
impression of my dad

was this suicide-encouraging
Satanist from the 80s.

- Who's pissed on
my (beep) carpet?

That bastard (beep) dog, man!

I oughta throw it
in the (beep) pool.

- Oh, no!

(screaming)

- Stop screaming!



(upbeat showbiz music)

Please don't go out and get
drunk or get stoned tonight.

And if you have
sex, wear a condom.

- [News Man] The hottest
show on television these days

is on MTV.
- The Osbournes.

- The Osbournes.

- The Osbournes.

- [Reporter] This tattooed
heavy metal rocker

as a sitcom patriarch.

- Well, it isn't exactly
Father Knows Best.

- Martha Stewart
can lick my scrotum.

- Sharon Osbourne,
the mastermind

behind not only Ozzy
Osbourne's career,

but this whole series.



- It was meant to
be for three weeks,

but it became three years.

- You're a douchebag.

- (beep) you, (beep)
off, (beep) off!

Reality TV hadn't been defined,

but we were the first
reality family sitcom.

- It's like a sitcom,
but it's their real life.

The camera's in their home.

- Here is this rock
god that you'd think,

"His life must be so
different than mine."

Guess what? It's not.

- Turn the (beep) thing
off, it's driving me mad!

- Nobody knew it
was going to start

a whole new way of doing TV.

(Kelly screaming)

- There'd be no Kardashians
if it wasn't for what we did.

- [News Woman] You
and your brother Jack

must be about the most famous
teenagers on the planet.

- Jack and I were
under so much scrutiny

and so much pressure.

- The Osbournes was
really the first show

to truly pull back the
curtain on celebrity.

Here was a real family going
through their real problems

on television.

- When you're doing
stuff in the public eye,

it just magnifies things a lot.

- [Kelly] My entire universe
was just falling apart.

- The problem with reality TV is

what happens when
it really gets real?

(motor buzzes)
- Yee-haw!

- You can't be on that
fun train too long,

'cause life isn't like
that, things happen.

- The show just got too much.

- With the fame, with the
money, with everything.

If you had to do
it all over again--

- I wouldn't do it.

(pensive ambient music)

(grand orchestrated music)

- [Announcer] The Adventures
of Ozzie and Harriet,

starring the entire
Nelson family!

Here's Ozzie.

- You're a good dog.

(curious music)

- Before the Osbournes
ever happened,

MTV called and said, you
know, "We want to do a Cribs."

- [Cool Guy] What up, doc?

- [Commercial Girl] You
favorite stars are steppin'

out of the spotlight and
inviting you into their home.

- People have always had a
fascination with celebrity,

and suddenly, here
were celebrities

opening their doors and
letting the cameras in.

- One of my big
passions is collecting

various Satanic
heads. (chuckles)

- Before Cribs, Ozzy was
a little bit of a mystery.

What is his persona?

He's the prince of darkness.

And then all of a
sudden it was like,

"What is Ozzy like
when he's just at home,

"when he's being a dad?"

- Everyone expects
us to be so weird,

and so strange, and like,

"Does your dad really
sacrifice animals

"before you eat dinner?"

I thought I was so cool

because I could go back
and tell my friends

that I was on MTV.

- Heavy metal from this one,

she's playing bleedin' N-Sync.

- Shut up.

- N-Sync! (hisses)

- People just loved it,

and it was the most
requested Cribs.

- Will you just get the
(beep) out of my house?

- I guess they thought like
it was a kind of weird,

funny family dynamic.

- And then they
came to us and said,

"What else can we do with you?"

- My dad's a weird guy.

I remember MTV shot like
a little casting tape.

He's not one of those
days where, you know,

he'll take you fishing.

He's a dad in his own
kind of special way.

- If my kids said,
"Good afternoon, father.

"How art thou today?"

I'd think, "(beep) hell,
what a boring life."

- We had a few meetings with
other people in the way.

One person wanted to do
a scripted show with us.

None of us wanted to do
that, didn't feel genuine.

And I remember they wanted me
to audition to play myself.

And I was like, "(beep)
that, I'm not doing that."

We just continued
speaking with MTV.

- We just started spitballing.

We started kind of just
throwing around ideas,

and then we kind
of landed on, like,

"Well, what if we
did a Real World?"

(smashing)

- Find out what happens--
- (snickers) What?

- [Heather] When people
stop bein' polite--

- [Eric] And start
getting real.

- [Andre] The Real World.

- They worded it
exactly like that.

"What id we did a Real World
at your guy's house with you?"

And we were all like, "Okay."

Real World was still
really popular at the time,

so Kelly and I were
like, "Yeah, I'll do it!"

- Aimee is very reserved.

When we had the meeting
with MTV, she said no.

At that time in her life,
it wasn't right for her.

- Aimee moved out, and then
it just kind of started--

things started moving quickly.

- Before we knew it,

we were filming the Osbournes.

- Come put it in the pantry.

- [Jack] October 2001,

when the moving trucks
pulled up to the house,

so did the camera trucks.

- You know where I'll
put my gun, Sharon?

Under the bed.

- [Sharon] Wherever
you wanna put it.

- I'll put it under the bed.

- Dude, how is it my
sister's underwear

just gets mixed up in mine?

You know, that's just wrong.

It was awkward 'cause we
didn't know what to do.

I just would be sat here
like this on my computer,

and there's be two cameras,

and that was it, and
they would just film.

(whacks)

- Jack!

- [Jack] Yeah?

- Can you get this (beep)--

this television to work?

- It was always my
dad yelling for us,

or the TV not working,

or him not being
able to figure out

something very technical.

- [TV] Deadly bombers
to flatten German

and Japanese war planes.

- [Jack] And if nothing
happened, they'd be like,

"All right, we're gonna
see what Kelly's doing."

(shouting)
(fire alarm beeps)

- We had no idea
what we were doing.

We were living in a house
with two crews of 30

on 12 hour shifts

24 hours a day.

- Did anybody feed the dogs?

- No!

- On TV, you're used to
seeing a polished version

of everybody that is well
lit and has perfect makeup,

and we didn't give
you any of that.

- My thong--
- Your what?

- Is so far up my
crack right now,

I couldn't even pull it out.

- I'll cut it off.
- No.

- Let me cut it off, Kelly.

In season one, it
was all so genuine,

'cause none of us knew
what we were doing.

We were just doing it.

And there was no
bull (beep) with us,

we we were what we were.

- If it wasn't for me,

she'd still be at a (beep)
mall with her dumb friends.

See, it was me who
said, "Hey, Kelly--"

when she used to
hang out at the mall

with her little stupid friends,

I was like, "Kelly, come
with me to St. Cloves

"and we'll hang out."
- Yes, Jack.

- I really understand,

but you gotta listen
where I'm coming from.

I love you all.

I love you more
than life itself.

You're all (beep) mad.

- Here.

- This looks like
somebody's puked on a plate.

- [Jack] Dad!

That's not very, like,
dinner table talk.

- [Kelly] You know what
we're doing here, dad?

We're eating so we
shouldn't be talking

in such vulgar language.

- Typical meal.

Nobody eats anything,
everybody ends up arguing,

and that's it.

♪ Always look on the bright

♪ Side of life

(whistling)

- Growing up was a
lot of traveling.

(sound testing)

These are dad's
buckets of water.

(cheering)

We'd be on the road
a lot with my dad.

- When someone asks
me what it was like

to grow up as an Osbourne,

I never really know what to say.

My dad is a huge rockstar.

This is my dad's room.

It's only now I realize
how different my childhood

and my upbringing was to
absolutely everybody else's.

- [Sharon] Ozzy was a
rockstar, but we weren't.

- Sharon is Ozzy's manager.

- I was just his wife,
the manager, and the kids.

That was it.

Yeah, it was crazy
when we went on tour,

but to us, it was just

normal.

(rock music)

Everybody thought Ozzy was
so wild, so outrageous.

His persona was one of,
like, "What is he gonna do?

"Nobody knows."

- Some guy threw a bat on stage,

and I thought it was one
of these rubber bats.

I picked it up, and
it was a real bat.

- Well, it was 'til I bit
the head off it, you know?

- That was the
public perception.

He's this crazy guy.

(smooching)

Stop it!

- It's just not that way at all.

They don't know that
Ozzy actually cries

at soft movies.

- What's the matter with you?

It's a natural (beep)--

- Actually, he's
very normal at home,

he likes to exercise,

he looks at his teenage
kids like they're lunatics.

- Stop fighting!

- That's what everyone
deals with to a degree.

- Welcome to the Osbournes.

(screams)

- The first season,
it was just fun.

We loved having the crew there.

And then it just came
on, and on, and on.

TV's not made that way anymore,

where you just keep
shooting hours, and hours,

and hours of film,

and then somebody just goes
and puts it all together,

finds the storyline somewhere,

and they were there
for months filming

before anything came out.

- [Narrator] Meet the
perfect American family.

- Jack, stop telling people
you're Ozzy Osbourne's son

to get into places, 'cause
you're a (beep) loser.

(yapping)

- Oh!
- Oh, you--

- I remember thinking, "(beep)
why did we do this show?

"It comes out on TV tomorrow.

"They're gonna
think we're crazy."

- [Announcer] Don't miss the
premiere of the Osbournes,

the world's first
reality sitcom.

- We were walking
down Venice beach,

and my mom turned to me
and my brother saying,

"Do you think we've
made a big mistake?

"What've we done?"

We were all very scared.

- Doesn't he look handsome?

Gorgeous.
- Shut the (beep) up.

ous!

- Oh, that's really nice, dad.

Th

and one review came out.

People thought w

and an insane family.

- Who's are these
(beep) things?

This (beep) will kill
you faster than crack.

- I was watching
everything cringing like,

"Oh no, why did they--

"No, don't!"

- Fine!

We had this whole thing
where if it goes bad,

we'll just move back to England,

and no one'll ever
know about it.

But it--

it was insane.

(hard rock music)

- Well, the hottest
show on cable right now

is the Osbournes.

- [Reporter] The Osbournes
are a cultural phenomenon,

and they're the most successful
show in MTV's history.

(orchestrated racing music)

- God, I was stunned.

I was absolutely stunned.

Suddenly, all these invites
come for all these events.

We were never invited anywhere.

Oh, 'cause Ozzy's the crazy guy.

We don't want them.

(cheering)

- Washington power
brokers, Hollywood stars,

Ozzy Osbourne.

(cheering)

- Thing about Ozzy
is he's made a lot

of big hit recordings.

Sabbath, Bloody Sabbath,

Black Skies and Blood
Bath in Paradise.

(laughter)

Ozzy, mom loves your stuff.

(laughter)

- [VJ] How do you like your
new celebrity found life?

- I don't that
we're celebrities.

We don't do anything.

- Is it weird though when
people see the episodes,

and they come up to
and they mention stuff

that goes on in your house?
- Yeah, it's kind of a blur.

- "Oh, you're so great."

Great at doing what?

Hanging out at home?
- Yeah.

- When the Osbournes
first premiered,

people were tuning
in to be like, "What?

"What is this show?"

- She booked me a (beep)
gynecologist appointment.

- (sighs) Beam me up, Scotty.

- You feel like, "I should
not be privy to this."

- I will not have dope
smoked in my house,

it ain't gonna lead to
anywhere but bad places.

Look at me.

- It was really a
sign of the times

that Ozzy Osbourne of all people

had become the sort of
new version of the TV dad.

- As long as you're
living in this house,

you are not to do any drugs.

- [Reporter] TV's all time
favorite dad Bill Cosby

is saying television's
new favorite family

has gone overboard.

- Cosby did an interview
and he was saying

how disgusting we were,

and how Ozzy shouldn't be
seen as, like, you know,

the new father of America,

and this is disgraceful,

and the way we
live is outrageous.

So I sent him a letter
and I just said,

"How can you say that about us

"when look at what
your life is?"

For real.

(pensive orchestrated music)

If you don't like the
show, don't watch it.

All you have to do
is press that button

and change the channel.

- When the Osbournes came along,

America was just ready
for a new kind of family.

America had changed.

This was the right
family for this era.

- I have this whole theory
on the success of the show.

After 9-11, America was
in such a weird state,

and then all of a sudden,
they're turning on TV,

and they're just kind
of seeing a family

which is by all accounts
meant to be different

doing the exact
same thing they are.

But I think there was
this strange relatability

in the American
population to us.

And whether they
realized it or not,

they were drawn to
not the differences

but the similarities in
our dynamic as a family.

- And the Emmy for outstanding

non-fiction program
reality goes to--

- The Osbournes.

(cheering)

- We've crossed over from
being cool or the underdog

to being accepted.

- Me and my mom looked
at each other like,

"This is insane!

"We just won an Emmy
for being ourselves."

Like, "What else can
we do?" (chuckles)

♪ You say I should
do it differently ♪

♪ I don't necessarily agree

- The prince of beepin'
darkness and his family

make their return to the
small screen Tuesday.

Rock on! Woo!

That's when MTV kicks
off the second season

of its surreality
show the Osbournes.

- [Host] Is music something
you always wanted to do, or--

- I'm a big music lover,

I mean, music has
always been my passion,

but I wouldn't be
doing any of this

if it wasn't for the
TV show and my dad.

When I was really young,

I never really thought
about being a movie star,

or a singer, or
anything like that.

I'm just going to rehearsal.

Before I knew it, my
path was kind of chosen

for me in a sense.

- As a result of the show,

we kind of got put into this
category of Hollywood folk.

- [Director] Action.

- (beep) you!

- [Director] Great, that's
lunch and that's a wrap on Jack!

- But they were like actors,
and singers, and musicians.

I was like, "I get
filmed at home."

Like, "Uh, okay."

Like, "If I'm cool
to be in this crowd."

You live in LA?

- Yeah.

(crew murmurs)

- It was always kind
of strange to me,

I always felt like an outsider,

but I was just going
along for the ride.

(grand old Hollywood music)

- The MTV Movie Awards
was the first time

I'd ever performed
in front of anybody.

I was terrified.

(rock music)

- [Sharon] She ran
down those stairs,

and you saw all the
people in the audience

screaming for her.

- Come on, you guys,
get the (beep) up!

- [Sharon] It was like, "Oh
my God, that kid's got guts."

♪ Going to be upset

♪ 'Cause I was always
a little girl ♪

- Then I think I got
addicted to that fear

of overcoming something
and trying new things.

- That's my baby!

(cheering)

It was just one of
those great times

that you'll always remember.

It was amazing.

(cheering)

- What I've learned
about my family is

that things are either
absolutely incredibly amazing

and so fun you can barely
even contain yourself,

or they are absolutely
(beep) miserable.

There is no in between.

- I can't quite believe it,

'cause it's all
happened so quick.

Just a few months,
our whole lives

have turned upside down.

We were on a plane going
to New York, and I said,

"Life is too good right now."

I can't believe that
everything is so good.

I'm always like one
of these people, like,

I know, typical Jewish mother.

Something's going to happen,

it can't be this good, you know?

Something's gonna happen

'cause it's all too good.

And it did.

(blaring rock music)

(cheering)

Our lives have
always been extreme.

Great things and bad
things down here.

There's never been a middle

where we just drift
in the middle,

it's always this or this.

- The first season
was a reality show

about a rockstar and
his funny family,

season two took a very,
very different turn.

- It was supposed to be
this light-hearted show,

and all of a sudden, you
have TV's favorite matriarch

fighting a battle with cancer.

- It's the worst thing
that can ever happen.

- Ozzy was terrified,

and the kids were
obviously terrified.

- The day I found out
my mom had cancer,

I'd just decided to
record my first album.

All of a sudden, I didn't
care about the show,

I didn't care
about being famous,

I was just scared that
my mom was gonna die.

- [Jess] Not only does
Sharon have cancer,

but Ozzy starts drinking again.

- 12 step program somehow
doesn't work for Ozzy.

- Imagine having cameras
following you night and day

when your family
is falling apart.

That was the real reality
of the Osbourne family.

- Yeah, Ozzy's bunker.

- That was me, 'cause
I wanted to see

what he was getting
up to all day

in his bloody bunker.

Hi, darling.

- Someone has been in my room

and taken my beers
away from my room.

- [Sharon] Who's the beer thief?

You. You're the beer thief.

(mumbles)

- Looking back at it,
it was such a tornado.

I remember saying, "What are
you gonna do about the show?"

She's like, "Well,
we're gonna film it.

"People need to
see what, you know,

"what this looks like."

- [Sharon] We're doing
our own version of ER."

- [Doctor] So this is your
first, first, first, right?

- Just like a virgin.

Be gentle, Gabriel.

- I'm gonna be very gentle.

- I had the cameras
come into the hospital

every time I had chemo,

and a lot of it wasn't used

'cause I think it
was so depressing.

It was, um, a whole
different atmosphere,

a whole different
vibe in our house.

After I was diagnosed,
it was, you know,

suddenly it goes boom.

- I don't want dogs
on the bed, Sharon,

'cause they carry
bugs (mumbles).

(stammers) Believe me,

you do not want to get an
infection at this time, Sharon.

You do not want to
get any bugs, Sharon.

(kissing)

Please take care, baby.

Oh see, I gotta go, Sharon.

(cheering)

(mumbles) to my wife Sharon!

She's doing (beep) great, man!

- Being 16 at the time,

it was, I think, hard
to wrap my head around.

And I got a tattoo that
said mom in a heart.

I remember feeling like I
didn't want the crew around,

and I wanted it stop.

Why the (beep) are
you guys so interested

in me cooking lately?

It's all the (beep)
guys ever film.

I remember thinking like,
"No, this doesn't feel right."

- You're a douchebag.

- [Jack] Yeah,
that's right, Kelly.

- I always stick up for you.

- (beep) You, (beep) you!

(beep) Off, (beep)
off, (beep)--

Kelly and I weren't
getting on that well.

(beep) Leave my room. Bye.

She was disapproving
of what I was doing.

- You do not care about me.

- And I was disapproving
of what she was doing,

and there wasn't much connection
with us at that point.

You're so (beep) high strung
all the (beep) damn time.

(cross-talking)

Look, look, hit me!

- [Kelly] No!

- Hit me, come on!
(beep)

- Uh-uh, uh-uh, guys--
- Come on, come on.

- Hit me harder.
- No!

- [Sharon] I was always
their anchor,

and I think the fear
of me not being there

put so much on them.

Go to work!

Go to work!

- My brother and I were stepping
into dangerous territory.

We both started
experimenting with drugs.

We both knew that it was wrong.

I didn't wanna tell on him,

he didn't wanna tell on me,

and we didn't want
each other to know,

so it separated us.

(laughter)

- I hated the cameras
following us in season two.

It made me feel very vulnerable.

I got way more insecure.

I didn't love doing
things anymore

because of the baggage
that came along

with the camera crew following
me everywhere I went.

Nowhere where you are.

Ha, ha ha ha ha ha.

So I would just sneak out
and do whatever I wanted.

- We were seeing a family
under the microscope

dealing with their problems
but what you didn't see

were all the
cameras around them.

- [Camera Operator]
No less than fourteen

women at the table please.

- The Show opened
up a lot of doors

and a lot of doors
to a lot of bars.

There was a lot they
couldn't show on the show.

I mean, there literally
would be times

where I'd be smoking
pot and doing shots

and the camera
would be literally

right there and
they can't air that.

So they would cut
around that and

just film us acting
crazy and partying.

- The kids were
wild at that point

and I was out of it
half the time and,

you know, it was
tough on us all.

- America's favorite
reality TV show

is going through
some tough times.

- There's of course
a serious question

as to whether the
show can go on.

- Ohhh, honey,

thank you.

Thank you so much.

Who knew that in the
next series it was gonna

be like ER because I'm at
the hospital every day.

You can't be on that
fun train too long

because life isn't like
that, things happen.

- How long do you think
The Osbournes can last?

- Not long.

If we hadn't been
doing this show

I think it would have
been easier on us all.

- Jack, Jack.

- [Jack] Kelly was recording
an album in New York

and Mum was still
really sick with cancer.

- Osbournes, meet the Osbournes

have a yabba dabba dwoooerr.

- Dad was just
totally checked out.

- Ahh, (beep) off.

- Ozzy was never sober
through the whole thing,

I mean he was out of
it the whole time.

Whole time.

(computer game gun shots)

- I can remember
feeling really alone.

I really shut down
at that point.

Started messing
around with Vicodin

and Xanax and Valium
and then eventually ah,

I had a healthy Oxycontin habit.

I just came home one day
and was like alright,

I need to, I need help.

We weren't filming actually
when I went in to treatment.

- We weren't gonna be like,
Oh Jack's gone to rehab,

let's bring the cameras back.

They just weren't
there to pick that up.

- [Sharon] He went in and it
was very, very hard for him.

- When I look at it
now, it freaks me out,

like Jack and I
were under so much

scrutiny and so much pressure.

I had no idea the show
was going to turn me into

one of the most famous
teenagers in the world.

I honestly have
no idea how I got

through filming that
show in my teens

and going through
every awkward phase

you can imagine going
through as a girl.

I'd open up magazines
and be like,

the fat daughter
of Ozzy Osbourne.

The one thing I took
the most heat for

was being fat and I was
never fat, I was just chubby.

- Calling kids gross,
fat, who does that?

We were basically
being cyber-bullied

before that was
actually a thing.

♪ And I said hey-

- And I just thank God,

I never would have
made it out alive

if social media was around
when we filmed this show.

- [Photographer] Yeah, perfect.

- It's very uncomfortable.

- I know.

- I'm going to
(beep) kill myself.

- Kelly's like a
butterfly, she's in,

it's fantastic, I love it,
and successful and boom.

- I'm sick of it, I
want a (beep) break.

You haven't been there
for all of it, Mum.

- [Sharon] When do you
want the break, Kell?

Now, you want it this week?

- I was so used to my
life with the cameras that

it didn't even occur to me
that they were even there.

Cut to six months later
when that was on TV

I felt like such a dumb ass.

- Ozzy, she's sad,
go give her a hug.

- Kelly?

- [Kelly] I hate this, I hate
this! I hate this!

I (beep) hate this!

- [Ozzy] Wobbler.

Don't ask me to do that again,

I just got bollocked to death.

- You got bollocked?

She's so dramatic,
I love her so much.

- In so many ways the
show brought my family

closer together because
we were the only ones

who knew what we
were going through.

No one at that time you
could call up and say,

God, it's getting
really stressful

having these cameras around.

- I went to the doctor today.

My blood work is
completely clear of cancer

and I finish my
treatment in January.

(cheering)

- [Ozzy] Yea, (beep)!

- I still have people
coming up to me

and saying it was because
of Mum going through

what she went
through on the show

that they went to
the doctor and they

wouldn't be here if
it wasn't for her

and that just goes to
show how strong my Mum is.

It was like the world had been

lifted off my
shoulders for a second

and that everything
was going to be okay.

- Probably about five
minutes 'til we actually won.

- Dad, are you nervous?

- Nervous?

- Yeah.

- Are you?

- Yeeaaah.

- [Sharon] Ozzy and Kelly
were in England promoting

their record that
they had out together.

- Father and daughter
Ozzy and Kelly Osbourne

with their forthcoming
single, Changes.

- It was a Black Sabbath song,

and they changed
the lyrics around

and it just worked beautifully
for a father and daughter.

♪ I'm feel unhappy,

♪ I am so sad

♪ I lost the best friend

♪ that I ever had

♪ She's my baby

(applause)

♪ I love her so

♪ But it's too late now

♪ I've let her go

♪ We're going through changes

- I remember we had a lot of
fun that day in the studio

and I never really thought
it would be a big deal,

I just thought it was going
to be a song on the album

and something special I
got to do with my dad.

We released it and
it ended up being

number one everywhere
but America

'cause we never got 'round
to really promoting it.

- Lovely day today.

- [Kelly] And for so long I
blamed myself for what happened.

- I'm just going to
wrap around the field.

- Because if we didn't
do the song together

he wouldn't have
been in England.

It was really horrible.

(motor running and revving)

- Ozzy!

(motor revving)

- Yee-haw!

(motor running)

- Oz, Oz, someone get
back and get an ambulance.

Get an ambulance!

- Big changes,
You've been through

the most phenomenal
changes any teenager-

- It's crazy.

- [Richard] It's mad, isn't it?

- Yeah.

I was live on a
TV show in England

promoting the single,
a policeman came in,

I got waved to move off of set

and I thought (beep) what have I
done, I'm getting arrested

for something I'd
done while I was here.

They put me on the
phone to my mum

and she asked me if
I was sitting down.

What's wrong?

She told me that my Dad
got in an ATV accident

and it really didn't look good.

(sirens wailing)

- The unimaginable, the
wild man of heavy metal,

Ozzy Osbourne is
on life support.

- [News Reporter] Osbourne
fractured eight ribs,

cracked a vertebrae in his
neck and broke his collarbone.

He underwent emergency surgery.

- [Sharon] I just ran to the
airport and it was torturous

because he was in surgery
while I was on the plane.

When I got to the
hospital he was in a coma.

Tubes coming out of everywhere.

- I really didn't
think that there was

any way he'd come
out of this and

I didn't know what
I'd do without him.

- I didn't know any of this,
everyone went to England.

I was in LA by myself and they

didn't tell me how bad it was.

I was newly sober,
focusing on recovery.

They didn't want to jeopardize
any of that at the time.

- The surgery went well but
he was in coma for 14 days.

- [News Reporter] He remains
in the intensive care unit

here as doctors
monitor his progress.

- Like I say, life is
great and you bob along

and everything's
cool and then boom.

I just couldn't believe
it, I'm like, what next?

What could possibly happen now?

- (beep) I'm going to throw up.

(wretching)

After my Dad got in his accident

my entire universe was
just falling apart.

- Are you alright, Kelly?

- You're not dead.

I couldn't function
without numbing

and the only way I knew how to
do that was by taking pills.

- Kelly, I gotta come
and ask you a question

How much did you have
to drink last night?

- A glass of champagne.

- You didn't take the,

nobody gave you any pills
or anything like that?

- No.

I was a severe opioid addict.

- You know why she's
itching her face so badly?

When you take a lot
of opiates, you itch.

- I must have been in Lala Land.

I was in total
denial, total denial.

Honestly Jack, it's not drugs.

Do you know how we
found out about Kelly?

A pap had caught
her buying drugs

and they sent us the picture
and I showed it to Kelly

and she said, no, I was buying
jewelry not drugs, right.

And then she admitted that it
was, you know, a drug deal.

And that day we said,
you're going into rehab.

- [Larry King] We welcome
to Larry King Live,

here in Los Angeles,
Ozzy Osbourne,

the rock singer turned reality
star, and Sharon Osbourne,

his wife and manager
of more than 20 years.

- What happens on the show
starts to become news itself.

They're now on live TV,
airing the family secrets.

- What happened today, Sharon?

- This morning, we woke
up and an English tabloid

had phoned through to
our publicist, to say-

- [Kelly] I was sat in the
check in of rehab

watching my parents
on Larry King Live

so the world knew I was
in there before I did.

- she admitted it after a lot
of twisting, she admitted it.

- [Larry King] That
she was a drug user?

- Yes.

- For every good thing that's
happened to the Osbournes

there's been an equal
share of bad things,

and like, Sharon had
cancer, I came off the bike,

my son went into
rehab with drugs,

now my daughter's gone
into rehab with drugs.

- What are you going to
do when you come out?

How are you not going to go
back to what you were doing?

It's amazing that you can get
Jack who gets it first time.

- You doing alright though,
you doing what they are saying?

- He's found that
serenity by leading

a clean and sober life.

- She's home

- [Jack] You doing alright?

- Yeah I'm just
over being in rehab.

- It's just been
terribly hard on Kelly.

- The Brady kids
never went to rehab,

Mrs Cleaver never had cancer.

This incredibly
quirky, funny,

sitcom

had really become
almost a tragedy.

- After having
cameras in your face

for every single thing that
goes on for better and for worse

it just kinda felt
like they were done

and all of a sudden, the
producers felt compelled

to plan storylines, to plan
situations to get them into

so they could be their
most Osbourney selves.

- Yeah, here hold on.
- They were like, Jack, Ozzy,

you guys haven't done
anything together in a while,

you guys wanna go
on a fishing trip?

Yeah, sure. And whatever
happened, happened.

- Here we go!

(splashing)

(laughter)

- What have you got, Jack?

- I don't know yet but it's big.

- It was like, hey
we haven't filmed

you guys on a family vacation,

go on a family vacation,
we'll pay for it.

Okay, we're going on
a family vacation.

- When The Osbournes
was at it's best,

it was very real but
it just started to feel

like they were creating a show

instead of a show
documenting them.

- We haven't had
any accidents yet.

- There was something
so inauthentic,

something so unreal,
and in many ways

that's the kiss of death
for a reality show.

♪ We're going shopping
with The Osbournes ♪

♪ Spend a fortune
with The Osbournes. ♪

- Things got so
outrageous on the show

that audiences started assuming

that a lot of this was scripted

and accusing the
Osbournes of making it up.

- So what we ended
up doing was kind of

throwing like a
wrench in the works

where we were like, well
let's script an episode.

The concept was I
started sleepwalking

and I accidentally killed
my Mum's favorite dog.

Whoa.

I had to smuggle the
body out of the house

and make it seem
like she ran away.

I remember filming that
too, we had to time it,

because I ran out
into the street

with Minnie's body and
there was tour buses

that kept coming by
and we had to make sure

the coast was
clear, it was funny.

- [Jack] Dad.

- Yeah.

- [Jack] I killed Minnie.

- Minnie's dead.

- Ozzy, you're winding me up.

- I'm not, I wish I was
(beep) winding you up, Sharon

Minnie's gone, she's gone, Boo.

- [Sharon] Minnie!

- There's only so much that
you can do with the show,

The Osbournes had
shown us so much

that there really wasn't many
other places they could go.

- When you see the same
thing over and over again

it gets less exciting.

And maybe to a certain
extent people wanted us

to be more crazy,
and more out there.

Like, chasing a high that
we couldn't keep up with

and even we weren't that nuts.

-[Jack] Everyone felt like
it'd run its course

and we didn't want
to get canceled.

- [Director] And cut.

- All good things
must come to an end.

- It's all over?

- It's all over.

- I don't have to say
the F-word anymore?

- [Director] Not again.

- Yaaaaay!

(applause)

And you can take your
dog (beep) with you.

- [Dr. Phil] This is it right??

- Yeah.

- You're gonna shut the cameras
off, send ever

It was an amazing ride
we had for three years.

All of us.

But it was time for us to stop.

- What's been the greatest
thing about doing this TV show?

- I've always said this,

that it's the
greatest thing for us

as a family to look
back on so that my kids

can give it to their
kids to pass down.

- I can not wait until
my kids are teenagers

- [Kelly] I hope
someone beats you up.

- You know what Kelly,
I hope your album fails.

- Oh, shut up, Jack.

- She just hoped I got
beaten up, alright.

Every kid goes you don't
know what it's like

or you don't understand,
and it's like well,

sit down and watch this.

I absolutely get it,
and I was probably

doing worse (beep)
than you are.

- I have an
incredible home movie

to look back on my life.

Jack's life is not
a (beep) 24 hour (beep).

And to see every thing,
all the good times,

all the bad times
and the one thing

it really has taught me is
love will heal anything.

- It's your Mama.

- [Kelly] Anything.

- [Kelly] Mommy.

- Nobody knew, the guys at
MTV, we didn't, nobody knew

that it was going to start a
whole new way of doing

you know, TV.

- Gene Simmons' family
started Family Jewels

and there was Run's
House, Anna-Nicole Smith,

- All of a sudden, Sugar Pie,
she just farted right there.

(fart noise)

- Before The Osbournes,
no celebrity would have

signed on to do a reality show,

and then all of a
sudden Ozzy did it,

and his career has
taken off in a way

that it never would
have without the show

so then we start to
see other celebrities

signing on, it's
like, you know what?

I'm going to do that too.

♪ And don't hesi-

- Other celebrities
instantly went

okay, we've got a
family, we've got a dog,

we'll get the dog to (beep) and
then we can have a show too.

- Is this chicken what
I have or is this fish?

I know it's tuna, but it
says chicken.. by the sea.

- The Osbournes had
invented this new genre.

It was the reality sitcom.

- I swear to God
- Stop, what are you doing?

- Don't be (beep) with my
things, I'll (beep) hurt you.

- There would be no
Kardashians if it wasn't

for what we did, I
don't know whether

people love or hate us for that.

- Even as successful as
The Kardashians have been

for the last ten years,

they are still held
to our standard.

No matter how successful
those shows are,

we were still the
first to do it.

- Rock and roll!

Rock and roll.
(high pitched voice)

- The show opened the
doors for all of us

to go on and do other things.

Yes, yes, yes.

(screaming)

- Oh (beep), argh!

There are lots of celebrity
children in Los Angeles,

not many of them have had
careers like Kelly and I.

- It was the first
time I've ever seen

her on a red carpet where she's
worn a dress that she owns.

- And I think that that's a
direct result of The Osbournes.

- Yoooooo.

- The last two years I've
been working on a show

with my Dad called Ozzy
& Jack's World Detour.

This is awesome.

- And I say to Ozzy, we're
kind of on the last chapter now

and it's like, alright,
what's gonna happen next?

- Everything is in harmony,
Kelly and Ozzy are good,

and Jack's all settled
with his own family.

- God, I pray on everything that

is holy I never have a daughter.

I love having daughters.

They like to dress
up like princesses

and do fun things
and it's just fun.

I don't know, I love it.

And as far as being
a grandfather,

my Dad, he's really
engaged with my daughters,

he loves them, he
plays, you know,

he won't change a
diaper or you know.

- Dad, I hate Jack.

- What the (beep) do you
want me to do, Kelly?

- The Osbournes are still this

tremendous cultural touchstone.

It changed all of
television in a major way,

In a way that we
still feel today.

- I think as far as
TV sitcom families go

if you put it up
against The Brady Bunch,

The Waltons, the whatever,
we're the evolution of that.

- It was just so open,
ridiculously open

and not trying to
hide any of the ah,

(beep) that people usually try
and hide and try and come up

with a persona that's not real.

We were what we were.

- We haven't changed.

We've grown up, we've matured,

we have a better
understanding of life,

but the core of who we
really are has not changed.
