9 TV Show Reboots That Were Mercifully Cancelled

4. The Osbournes

Here's a message to all those in charge or procuring new properties for your network: Just because something is celebrating its 10 year anniversary, that does not mean we want to "catch up with it" in the form of a reboot.

When The Osbourne Family ended their reality show in 2005, the world was more than ready to move on from Ozzy, Sharon, Jack, and especially Kelly. Over the course of 4 seasons, we were "treated" to every bit of boring minutiae regarding the livelihoods of the heavy metal icon and his not-as-weird-as-you'd-think kin.

But apparently VH1 figured we were ready to pounce back on the Osbourne-Mania that absolutely did not exist in 2015, announcing plans for another intrusion into the well-to-do family's home life.

What would that show have looked life? The kids likely didn't live at home anymore. Ozzy hasn't done anything notable since 2010. Sharon is working on an even blander version of daytime talk show The View. Kelly works on that same show when she's not doing voiceovers for a Disney cartoon. Honestly, Jack's work as an executive producer might be the most interesting aspect of the family dynamic. And that's...something VH1 thought we were all clamoring to see, apparently.
