Osbournes Tackle Sur-Reality

Sonny and Cher. Donny and Marie. The Bradys, the Jackson Five, the Partridges, and ... the Osbournes?

Fox has ordered six episodes of an Osbourne Family variety show, blending musical performances, comedy sketches, competition, and audience participation elements with the rock clan's *cough* unique aesthetic. So, imagine something like ...

Kelly (singing, in braids): "I bleep I'll go for a bleep outbleep now, the summer sun's bleepin' my name."

Osbournes (joining in): "Everybody's bleepin' ... Sunbleep blee-eep!"

Variety reports that ideas being kicked around for the show include a segment where "The Osbournes Meet the Osbournes" -- as in a regular unrelated Osbourne clan somewhere in the U.S -- as well as "Ozzy on pop culture" and "Jack and Kelly exploit their sibling rivalry to hilarious effect" bits.

In addition to starring in their own reality show for three years, Sharon is a judge on "America's Got Talent" and Jack hosts the Brit series "Jack Osbourne: Adrenaline Junkie."

What other family would be well-suited to bring back the variety hour?
