Osbournes Get Variety Show On Fox: Sharon And Ozzy To Be New Sonny And Cher

Variety:

Sonny and Cher. Donny and Marie. Ozzy and Sharon?

Fox has given a six-episode order to an hourlong variety show hosted by Ozzy Osbourne, Sharon Osbourne and their kids, Jack and Kelly. Untitled skein from FremantleMedia North America will be exec produced by James Sunderland, an exec producer on Fremantle's NBC series "America's Got Talent," on which Sharon serves as a judge.

Mike Darnell, Fox's prexy of alternative programming, envisions the show as something of a throwback to the heyday of variety skeins such as CBS' 1970s staple "The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour" and ABC's "Donny and Marie."

How about Letcher & Lascivia? They're a bit long in the tooth (false teeth) to be called Sonny & Cher. Yes, Ozzie, even stoned, is smarter that the late Mr Bono. Sonny is remembered in the US House of Reps for asking why laws are written in legal jargon. They don't make 'em like that anymore. If the Republicans who are poor mouthing about 11/4/08 are right, any Republican who is a stupid as Mr Bono was will be voted out of office. Obama will have long coat tails.

Hey, Ozzie had his day, but these days he's barely comprehensible from his overuse of ... everything.

It could be good she's got taste and he's great comic relief...

Oh Gawd! Say it isn't so! Well, what do you expect from FOX, quality programming????

At least the Bonos had talent and looks... 'nuff said.

Please tell me it ain't so. I had enough of these two the first go around.

[Felicty]

Don't you need to have any talent anymore?
