THE OSBOURNES
The Osbournes began life on MTV in America in 2002 and has since been shown in many countries around the globe. In England it was shown on mainstream television on Channel Four. As the programme contains plenty of obscenities and adult themes it was shown late in the evening initially. It is one of the few fly on the wall type programmes that I have watched and enjoyed.

Advantages: features are good funny and rocking Disadvantages: there isnt enough
