Reviews

O2D Norm MacDonald has always been underrated and misunderstood.He's one of the funniest people who ever lived and this show proves it. The series starts with Nikki Cox guest starring and they make you think she will be a regular but she just leaves. Early in the first season they realize the character of Norm's boss is going nowhere and they incorporate him leaving into an episode(although we never actually see him).Then they make the greatest decision ever,they bring in Max Wright as Max Denby and they have the formula for a great show. The second season sees the show change it's name.They also change the name of the bar they hang out in,although the exterior and interior appear to be the same.Nikki Cox returns, Faith Ford joins the cast and the show just gets better. The Norm Show(Norm) ran for 3 seasons and had 4 different opening sequences but weirdly,they used the exact same clip of a white van almost every time they needed a transition clip. The third season sees two very odd changes.The transition clips start to feature a guy scatting and they start dressing Laurie like a mentally challenged gypsy.I have recently found two other shows where the main female character started dressing completely different(usually almost always the same clothes,just different colors) in the third season,Still Standing and My Hero. I could talk about Norm all day but I won't.
bigdude101 Norm McDonald is hilarious, he can't act, but he's hilarious. Facial expressions, one liners, flopped lines, hilarious. I'm sure he could walk into a wake and have everybody in stitches within minutes.The shows premise had Norm working against his will as a counciler, insulting his clients, co-workers and superior. The majority of the costars acted as straight men (or people) that help set up Norms one liners, and then he'd continue with the jokes. His boss was mostly the brunt of his jokes, but then again he should have been used to it. He was once a straight man for ALF (Yo Willy!!!!).It was the one sitcom that I'd be anxious to watch, but it suddenly disappeared.
rageistruth This show was funny when it debuted, but it didn't really take off until the second season. In my opinion, ABC had something here that could have surpassed "The Drew Carey Show," but unfortunately the timing was all wrong. "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" exploded onto the television scene (for reasons I still cannot understand) and all of a sudden ABC forgot about everything else. The network made it nearly impossible to watch Norm. TV Guide would list it on Friday at 9pm, so you'd tune in only to see Regis' evil, smiling face, mocking you. Sometime during the week ABC had decided to move Norm to 8pm and Millionaire to 9pm. Hey, you missed Norm, tough luck! So the next week you tune in at 8 pm but there's REGIS again! A special 90-minute Millionaire followed by Norm at 9:30. At least you get to see it. Next week - a two hour Millionaire and Norm is never heard from again. ABC rides Regis for all he's worth and now they're consistently beaten in the ratings because they have no proven quality shows. Cry me a river, ABC.
rick-204 I am also a big fan of Norm MacDonald, and I phoned a friend to let him know this show was going to air several Wednesdays ago.Unfortunately, I had to call him back and apologize.I still like Norm's work...but it's as if he's performing in a huge pool of Maple Syrup (chauvinist pun intended). The few bright moments of dialogue ("You can't take my dog!" "We can take CHILDREN"!) are totally lost in the banality of the rest of the writing.Not even Doug and the Slugs could save this one.
