TheThreshold.com are hoping to launch a
new sitcom based on the life of Ozzy Osbourne. The website has been hired
to produce Ozzys websites and is also working on plans to develop a new
sitcom based around the legendary metal vocalist, tentatively titled, Ozzy
and Harriet.
Unlike the 50s Ozzie and Harriet focused
around the family life of Ozzie Nelson, the new show will chronicle the
exploits of the infamous bat biting metal madman, Ozzy Osbourne.
Chairman and CEO of Threshold Entertainment,
Larry Kasanoff, spoke with the Hollywood Reporter last week about his companys
plans for developing a website focused on the life of Ozzy Osbourne that
they hope will lead to a television sitcom.
"He's a wild, crazy, mega-successful rock
star who lives in Beverly Hills with his smart, attractive wife and three
normal children next door to Pat Boone. Kasanoff told the entertainment
publication, His personal lifestyle is so engaging and enduring -- and
as funny as hell. The dichotomy is hysterical."
Sharon Osbourne, the singers wife who
also leads the double life of shrewd businesswomen and manager for her
star husband told the Hollywood reporter that they decided on Threshold
Entertainment because, They have the talent, perspective and foresight
that will establish Ozzy in a new light in the ever-changing world of online
entertainment."
The Osbourne camp spoke last year about
a possible movie based on Ozzys life, but there has been no additional
word on the progress of that project since the announcement.
