His MTV reality show, "The Osbournes," has brought in $87 million and merchandising for the program raised $51.4 million more.

However, the former Black Sabbath frontman said: "At the end of the day with The Osbournes, I (expletive) hated it.

"For all the money we have, the way we live, the cars we drive, the first-class travel we take, I'd gladly give it up just to be simple old Ozzy again."

Ozzy said he felt the show may have had wrecked his credibility with older fans.

"I probably shattered eight million dreams in one (expletive) airing," he said.
