WHICH TV EXECUTIVE WILL LOSE THEIR JOB OVER A NEW OSBOURNES SHOW?

The Osbournes wasn’t just a hit; it was a genuine pop-culture phenomenon. Suddenly my grandmother knew who The Osbournes were. There’s little doubt that it made Ozzy, Sharon and the gang a whole lot richer, too, ’cause suddenly they were all celebrities who could milk their various whatevers for money.
Unfortunately, the family’s follow-up, a variety show called Osbournes: Reloaded was canceled after a single episode aired. Bmouth says that there were an additional five in the can, but, nope, the ratings on the debut were so bad that Fox opted to just cut their losses and not even try to make some of the production costs back.
So, of course, some rocket scientist in Hollywood is gonna give the family – or at least a portion of it – another chance, with a show called Osbourne Family Values. The series will not feature bands from the Family Values tours but, rather, will be about Sharon and Kelly as they “talk to mothers and daughters who are having problems,” according to the post-menopausal Osbourne.
