VH1's reboot of The Osbournes is D.O.A.

It's unclear why, but the network has scrapped plans to bring the show back for six or eight episodes, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The best and worst TV reboots

"We are no longer talking to the Osbournes about a series. That's not going to happen," VH1 Executive Vice President Susan Levison tells THR. "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."

Though Sharon Osbourne had discussed the reboot publicly, Kelly Osbourne implied Monday that she had never officially agreed to do the show. "As much as u [sic] love #VH1 the last time I checked I never signed up to doing a show w/ them! #Weird," she tweeted.

The Osbournes, which chronicled the antics of Sharon, Ozzy, Kelly and Jack originally aired on MTV from 2002 to 2005.

The reboot was the subject of some behind-the-scenes drama earlier this month, when two production companies Jack Osbourne partially owns were involved in a lawsuit over revenue rights about the show.
