The Evil Beet,

Sigh.
The Osbournes just won't quit.
The quirky (read: annoying and overexposed) family has signed with Fox to do six episodes of a variety show.
Yeah, that's right, a variety show. Because that's what American audiences care about these days.
The plan is to blend musical performances by the Osbournes and others with comedy sketches, as well as a game-show element and audience participation bits.
Oh, man, this totally means Kelly Osbourne's going to try to kick-start that music career once again.
And to make matters worse, they plan to kick things off with a Christmas special.
You know, I'm not entirely sure how studios decide whether or not to greenlight these things. I'm sure there are lots of focus groups, market studies, financial assessments, etc, but I think in the future they should just skip all that. It would be way more cost-effective to just come to me and be like, "Evil Beet, is this concept going to work?" And, in this case, I would be like "No, Fox. No, it is not," and we would have just saved everybody a ton of time, money and aggravation. Instead, everybody's going to have to find out the hard way.
