He bit the head off a live bat. He was accused of subliminally encouraging teens to kill themselves. He pissed on the Alamo. But the most shocking thing Ozzy Osbourne ever did was allow TV cameras into his home. MTV's reality sitcom The Osbournes revealed that every parent's nightmare was himself a hapless husband and father with more than his share of domestic dramas. No Fred MacMurray, the mumbling, bumbling Ozzy always seemed to be in the eye of a surreal storm, whether faced with daughter Kelly's rebellions, son Jack's gleeful tormenting of trespassers or wife Sharon's pack of un-housebroken dogs.

Ozzy's family matters weren't all comical: during the show's four seasons, the Osbournes experienced an array of life-altering events both onscreen (Sharon's colon cancer, Ozzy's recovery from an ATV accident) and off (Jack's substance abuse and rehab). But behind the foul mouths and celebrity trappings, the Prince of Darkness' family was a lot like most of ours: dysfunctional, maddening and fiercely devoted to each other.
