The Norm Show

1999–2001 · 3 seasons

A laid-back, sarcastic sitcom with a slacker hero, easy laughs, and a workplace full of oddballs.

Overview: Norm Henderson was once a fairly well-known -- but not particularly good -- professional hockey player. Norm's penchant for gambling and not paying taxes resulted in his permanent expulsion from the game. Instead of jail, he was sentenced to community service as a social worker, where his fresh perspective in the field and lack of patience for office red tape don't always jibe well with his co-workers.
How it feels: Cynical, satirical, warm and absurd. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Work, redemption, friendship, love
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
