The Norm Show
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Norm Show was an American television sitcom that ran from 1999 through 2001 on the ABC television network. The show focused on the life of Norm Henderson (Norm Macdonald), a former NHL hockey player who is banned for life from hockey due to gambling and tax evasion. In order to prevent jail time for these crimes, Norm must perform five years of community service as a full-time social worker. Other characters in the show included fellow social workers Laurie Freeman (Laurie Metcalf) and Danny Sanchez (Ian Gomez), and Danny's sometime girlfriend and former prostitute Taylor Clayton (Nikki Cox). Norm’s boss on the program for the first several episodes was named Anthony Curtis and was played by Bruce Jarchow. This character was quickly replaced by a new boss, Max Denby, who was played by Max Wright. The program was canceled after its third season.
