I loved it. I loved his use of the words ass and crack in every episode.

All part of the ABC cancellation machine. The underpromote their best shows, bury them on Friday nights and then assume it's the show's fault that it's not getting insane ratings. Can't have shows like Norm and SportsNight around when you have to make room for Geena and Millionaire.

I read a while back that ABC was going to show unaired episodes of "Norm" during the summer. Anybody have any idea when/if that will happen?

They should do an experiment: put Millionaire on only at 9pm on Friday and watch its ratings plummet. Then maybe they'll get a clue that the timeslot sucks and will stop cancelling great shows.

Loved this show. Very cleverly constructed and performed. Will be missed. Heard rumours it may be picked up by another network?

I watched this the first and second season, but lost track after that. It was funny though...

I remember when Norm's girlfriend had to chose between Norm and a Rich guy. Norm was her true love but the rich guy would buy her lots of stuff. She chose the rich guy.
Loved that show.

The best episode in my opinion and the one that had me laughing the most, was the one where Norm's boss' son wants to be a cook and Norm supports his decision. So the son makes a big meal to try to impress his father and make him agree to let him go to culinary school. But the kid puts pot in everything he cooks and everybody who ate it gets high off the food just as Norm's probation officer comes around for a random drug test. That one was so damn funny.
