First, there was "Survivor." Then came "Fear Factor."

Now, reality television watchers can follow the daily
activities of rock musician Ozzy Osbourne and his family
on MTV in "The Osbournes."

"What you see on the show is absolutely us,'' Osbourne
says in the Feb. 23 issue of TV Guide. "None of it's been
doctored or manufactured. It's real. It's the Ozzy
Osbourne "Real World."

In one episode, his 17-year-old daughter has a birthday
party and he spends the evening wagging his finger at
her friends, yelling "Don't smoke!" and trying to be heard
over thumping techno music.

"What is this?" Osbourne finally asks. "It's music to get a
brain seizure by."

The show begins March 5.
