Foul-mouthed rock and roll clan the Osbournes are set to invade your living room once again when their new variety show hits the air this Christmas, reports 'Variety'.

Envisioned as a modern update on classic '70s mainstays like "The Sonny And Cher Comedy Hour" and "The Donny & Marie Show", the dysfunctional family that sullied airwaves with their popular MTV series in the early-00s will make with the funny when they return to the small screen.

Reports suggest musical performances will be rounded out by comedic skits, game show hijinks, audience participation and pre-taped segments. The sibling rivalry between Kelly and Jack will be played for maximum laughs and, perhaps most surprisingly, the Prince of Darkness himself, Ozzy, will be regularly "skewering pop culture", despite his tendency to be nearly incomprehensible all if not most of the time.

The TV-happy fam are no strangers to roaming cameras with Kelly picking up hosting duties for "Project Catwalk", brother Jack finishing three seasons of his show "Jack Osbourne: Adrenaline Junkie" and mom Sharon serving as a judge on "America's Got Talent".
