Ah man this show ruled - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I found a videotape where I had like taped the first season of it and I watched them all and they were so funny. I can't believe ABC cancelled the show after three seasons. I wish I had them all on tape. I would definitely pay money for that, but all that's on eBay is basically the movies he starred in. Norm is like the funniest guy alive and I really liked the cast of this show despite the fact that it changed often.

Just thought I'd say throw up a topic about this and well I wish the show was still running. I want to see his new sitcom in the fall though.

This show was great. It's hard to believe it went down so quickly. Norm had good ratings the first season when it was on after Drew Carey. Then it was on before Drew. Finally, it got a killer time-slot, Fridays at 9 in the un-TGIF line-up. Every show that was on that night except for 20/20 was cancelled.

Norm's new show, A Minute with Stan Hooper, looks very good. It's been described as being a lot like "Newhart". With Norm as the sane man surrounded small-town Wisconsin eccentrics, including Fred Willard as a dairy owner, this should be hilarious.

I agree, Norm was a fantastic show. I had the priviledge of going to one of the show's tapings and got a script autographed by the entire cast.

Norm was one of my favorite shows. Why oh why did ABC move this show to Friday?
