Stop


The Osbournes will reportedly host a new "variety show," which will kick off with a Christmas special. The program will feature Ozzy "skewering pop culture," and will play up the sibling rivalry between Kelly and Jack. "We've been talking about how to renew the variety show concept and make it feel new for years now," said Mike Darnell, Fox Network's President of Alternative Programming.

This is how you make something feel new? By having the Osbournes host it?

No dear...that's how you make something feel like 2002.

The original Osbournes was a funny show. Unfortunately, it spawned a whole generation of family-based "reality" programs...providing a platform for such insufferable personalities as Nick Hogan, Kim Kardashian, Dina Lohan and Gene Simmons. And now the Osbournes are back again. Puke me.
