Wanted: a dad like Homer and Ozzie
TV company Nickelodeon launched a search for a real family in Ireland and Britain earlier this year to provide the inspiration for a new cartoon series. It is to be a blend the Simpsons and the latest cult classic, The Osbournes.
An estimated 2,000 Irish people responded to the challenge and Nickelodeon has confirmed a number of these families are in the running. The winner will be announced in early January.
