'The Osbournes' reboot won't happen, after all

The announced reboot of the tv show "The Osbournes" - with heavy metal legend Ozzy Osbourne and his family as main characters - won't happen. VH1, indeed, was planning a new season of the show, but according to "The Hollywood Reporter" things didn't go as expected and the project is now history.

Susan Levison, exec vp original programming and production at VH1, told "THR":

We are no longer talking to the Osbournes about a series; that's not going to happen. We wish we could have worked it out, but it just didn't come together for us. The family has been absolutely lovely and we wish them the best. We'd love to figure out a way to work with them at some point in the future.

VH1's plan to revive the series came 10 years after the show signed off at its sibling network, where its freshman run was MTV's most-viewed series at that point. The family also was at the center of a Fox variety show, "The Osbournes Reloaded", which was canceled after one low-rated episode.
