Does Anyone Remember the Name of the Sitcom with John Goodman as the Gay Man? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

The show did not last long but I really liked it because it did not portray the stereotypical effeminate gay attitudes as this one was an overweight, sport obsessed, beer drinking gay man.

What was the name of this show?

The show was called "Normal Ohio."

He was Dan Conner all over again...but this time he was gay.

That show aired in 2000 or 2001, if I recall correctly.

John Goodman's had great success on TV after Roseanne. Does anyone remember Pride of the Family where he played a lion?

Oh my God, what a disaster.

Father Of The Pride was the end all be all of bad ideas.

NBC wanted to try so hard to be a FOX animated show, but they failed so badly.

Let's get top name actors to be the voices!

Let's try to be funny and sharp like the Simpsons and Family Guy!

What a dud.
