Brandy: Special Delivery is an American reality series following R&B singer Brandy's pregnancy with baby Sy'rai. The series aired on MTV. The premiere episode premiered in the United States and Germany on June 18, 2002, with Canada following on June 21, where it took The Osbournes TV slot on Tuesdays 10:30 pm. The show eventually spawned four episodes.

Production history

Originally only planned to be a regular Diary episode, MTV felt the material was interesting and entertaining enough to sustain a five-episode-series.

Before the series even aired, it drew comparisons to The Osbournes which Special Delivery would replace. MTV denied any similarities stating, "The show really has nothing to do with The Osbournes".
