The Osbournes are returning to the small screen.

According to Variety, Fox has ordered six episodes of an hour-long variety show hosted by Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne and their kids, Jack and Kelly.

The show will resemble a 1970s variety program, a la The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour and ABC's Donny and Marie, said Fox exec VP of alternative programming Mike Darnell.

Variety reports the show will blend musical performances by the Osbournes and others with comedy sketches. Also in the mix: a game show, audience participation and out-of-studio taped elements.

Some segments will feature Osbourne, 59, "skewering pop culture," according to Variety, while others will "tap into the sibling rivalry" between Kelly, 23, and Jack, 22, according to Variety.

The series (which will be filmed in Los Angeles) hopes to launch with a Christmas special.

The family headlined a hit MTV reality show The Osbournes from 2002-05.

    I was working on a formula in my lab to create the ultimate being. Then something happened. I looked up and saw the moon. I didn't like it - but I couldn't stop staring at it. I began to go mad. I knew I would have to do something. As the trees watched, I turned on my old telly tube to drown out the noise from the moon. And there was the Oz! Let the madness begin...
