NOOOOORRRRMMMM!!!! I always loved his one liners, when he walked in, and someone asked, "What's up, Norm?", or however they phrased it in that particular episode.

Can't say I'm surprised, but it's still sad.

My favorite Norm one liner

Sam: "What are you up to Norm?"

Norm: Eleven feet tall if I was at my body weight."

Really? Parts of it are kinda corny now, but it was great when it came out, and some of the humor is full belly laugh funny.
