The Osbournes: TV Guide News

Reality TV's first family of dysfunction features rock icon turned domesticated dad Ozzy Osbourne, matriarch Sharon and teenagers Jack and Kelly. Ozzy's half-baked antics and incoherent rhetoric are surprisingly endearing (albeit peppered with profanity and incredibly---bleeping---vulgar). His kooky brood's adventures, a perfect mix of the mundane (house-training pets) and the magnificent (Ozzy and Sharon dine at the White House), struck a chord with TV critics and viewers alike.

Kelly Osbourne's Dramatic Life | Today's News: Our Take | 8/30/2004
It's tough to come of age on TV, much less to do it on a reality series that follows you and your foulmouthed family 24/7. But that's just what 19-year-old Kelly Osbourne did on MTV's The Osbournes. Now, the reformed wild child (so reformed in fact that, prior to our interview, she grimaced and asked for water after mistakenly sipping from a mixed alcoholic drink) takes on scripted television. Once again, she's coming of age — this time playing the sweet, sexy and self-assured Deborah on ABC's new teen soap, Life as We Know It (debuting Oct. 7). TV Guide Online: Was it hard to move from reality to scripted drama?Osbourne: Um, no. It actually was not. I was really shocked at how easy and how natural it came to me, and how much fun I had doing it. So I'm really excited.
