An American TV channel has banned The Osbournes new variety show due to its adult content.

The head of Panama City Fox affiliate WPGX said he watched a six-minute preview of Osbournes: Reloaded and found that the time slot for the show makes him uncomfortable.

The show was scheduled for 8.20pm and was intended to catch the viewers of American Idol, however WPGX General Manager David Cavileer says the time slot should be much later and he intends to air an episode of The Simpsons instead.
