Smile for the camera!

It's time once again for some miscellaneous Norm news.  First off, starting the week of August 7th (and hopefully every August week after), the alphabet network will air 2 episodes of "Norm" a week.  One on Tuesdays at 9:30 PM and one on Wednesdays at 8:30 PM.  This move by ABC is apparently an attempt to compensate Norm fans for being deprived of the sitcom for 3 months.  But, the alphabet network should know by now that the only way to compensate Norm fans is by paying us 10 million dollars a piece (which we would all blow on whores and cocaine).

"Screwed" may have bombed, but Norm's movie career may not be over.  Happy Madison Productions (Adam Sandler's movie company) is said to be cranking out a baseball comedy written by (and possibly staring) Our Hero.  The title of the movie is "Turk."   Now if someone could explain to us why a baseball comedy would be called "Turk," we'd very much appreciate it.

Finally, "Screwed" will be on video store shelves on September 26th.  Reserve your copy today and you could be the first (and possibly only) kid in your neighborhood/town/county/state to own this masterpiece. MORE NEWS
