The Osbournes shatters MTV viewing record
A reality show starring Ozzy Osbourne and his family has broken viewing figures for an MTV series.
Tuesday night's episode of The Osbournes drew 7.8 million viewers, www.variety.com reports.
It featured Ozzy's wife Sharon threatening to urinate in a Jack Daniel's bottle.
The family's performance easily trumps the ratings for any previous MTV series in the network's 20-year history, Variety said.
Only a few MTV Video Music Awards have scored higher figures.
The Osbournes is to premiere in the UK and Ireland on May 19.
