Oh damn! RIP Norm!

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.

RIP Norm! We'll always know your name.

All-time cool hang guy.

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.

Wow, I didn't know that.

Me neither.

I can still watch Cheers and enjoy it.

My favorite Norm episodes were when he started getting with Vera.

Wasn't he married to her from the beginning? Or do you mean when they were trying to get back together?

 

[SlammedZero]

Whoa, how did I miss this? Such a bummer. I loved Cheers. It's tough seeing the actors and actresses you grew up watching getting older or passing away. Really hits you.

RIP Norm!!!

Maybe I’m getting him confused with Woody’s girlfriend. Those were great scenes too.

Yeah, Woody had some good scenes. He was a good replacement for Coach.
