Initially titled The Norm Show (https://web.archive.org/web/20061031125344/http://www.jumptheshark.com/n/normshow.htm) in its first season but shortened thereafter, Norm (https://web.archive.org/web/20140407133547/http://forums.televisionwithoutpity.com/topic/3196131-norm-norm-macdonald-as-a-social-worker/?view=getnewpost) boasts a solid cast — one that improves over time; bumping up, for instance, once Max Wright debuts midway through One — in a straightforward ensemble workplace structure that feels a lot like Drew Carey. Indeed, Norm (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Series/TheNormShow) definitely seems like a sibling of that series, with a whimsical spontaneity that indulges stunts and gimmicks — tricks that, at their best, feel fresh and exciting, but at their worst, are lame and crassly commercial.
