It's official folks, the man behind such classics as "Iron Man and "Bark At The Moon" is TV's coolest Dad!!
"The Osbournes," according to a recent New York Times article, is the biggest hit in MTV history, with last week's episode drawing six million viewers!
Some prime time series can't get that kind of viewership!
Of course, there is a downside...
The article goes on to say that Scott Sassa, president of NBC's West Coast division, has instructed his staff to seek similar material for NBC.
In other words, get ready for a ton of "celebrity at home" ripoff shows this Fall!
Still, congrats to The Osbournes, the most disfunctionally functional family on TV!
