Honestly, I was never a _huge_ fan of Norm's stand up or even the Weekend Update on SNL. I thought they were funny enough but I could see how Norm was a little rough for the mainstream.
But here, in his own self-created comedy sanctuary, Norm truly shines. His improv is off the charts and bounces gloriously off his well chosen guests, as well as his co-host Adam, who fills the sidekick part admirably.
Each broadcast opens with hilarious 'opening remarks' between Norm and Adam that last up to 20 minutes. These are actually my favorite parts.
The first season is the best imho, but there are some gems in later seasons too.
An addictive show to come back to regularly for the sublime comedic vibe that Norm creates.
For a good sample of the show, go for the one with Billy Bob Thornton. Enjoy.
