The Osbourne Family Celebrate The 20th Anniversary Of Their Reality TV Show
On Sunday, March 6, Sharon commemorated the 20th anniversary of the premiere of her family's reality TV show "The Osbournes," which ran for four seasons from 2002 to 2005.
"The X Factor" alum shared a video montage detailing various scenes from the hit series that followed the life of the heavy metal star and his family.
The "Flying High Again" singer was captured in the opening scene telling his family how much he loved them despite their "mad" behaviors. In his words:
"I love you all. I love you more than life itself, but you're all f**king mad."
Although the Osbournes were as wild as the family's patriarch, the household shared a close bond as the clip showed them in numerous affectionate moments.

Looking back at how far her family has come, Sharon expressed her gratitude to fans for being a part of the fantastic journey. The mother-of-three wrote:
"20 years ago today…we welcomed your family into our home, thank you all for being the perfect house guests."
Naturally, this touching message received positive responses from fans, who bombarded the comment section with their love for the family while some reminisced about the show.
On the same note, Kelly also celebrated the 20th anniversary of "The Osbournes" show by sharing three throwback pictures featuring herself, her parents, and her younger brother Jack.
The former "Fashion Police" star captioned the adorable post, "It was 20 years ago today that #TheOsbournes first aired on @mtv f**k I'm old!!! Where does the time go?"
The TV personality was not alone in this sentiment as Jack reposted his sister's post on his Instagram Story alongside the words, "You and me both!"

"The Osbournes" series' anniversary came not long after The Mirror reported that Ozzy and Sharon would be returning to the UK after spending 20 years in Beverly Hills.
According to the news outlet, the dynamic duo was leaving LA because the spouses could no longer afford the rising taxes in California.
The pair would be heading back to their Welders House in Buckinghamshire to combat this problem. In the Black Sabbath star's words:
"We are leaving L.A. We are a bit sad. But the tax is getting too much. I am sad because I really really like staying and living there. If they do the taxes better, then I may come back. I do not know."
The 73-year-old added, "I am taking my recording studio with me. I am going to build a barn there and make my own studio at Welders. I will still be making music, and my band will come over."
This move would also save the award-winning musician a lot of money as the US federal tax rate was 28%, and Ozzy had to pay an additional 13% state tax on all his profits.

Last year, The Blast revealed that the former host on "The Talk" show used to get physically violent with her husband.
While discussing the couple's upcoming biopic, Sharon confessed in an interview that she and Ozzy repeatedly "beat the sh*t out of each other."
Because of their "legendary fights," the mother-of-three described the past 20 years of her marriage as "volatile."
However, those hellish days were behind the couple as the 69-year-old stated that the pair had since grown up and were no longer in an abusive relationship.
The lovebirds said their vows in 1982, and their marriage was blessed with three children — two daughters and one son.
Regarding the pair's biopic, the music manager warned fans that the movie wouldn't suit everyone as it revolved around her almost four-decade marriage.
The TV personality stated that the film would capture the Osbournes' dark side from their fights to their encounters with the law. But it would also show the family's undying love for each other.
