As opposed to drama sitcoms? Enough being a dick...it might just be a pilot and not even aired so don't get your hopes up. But it's cool if he does knowledge of him does spread.

I don't know if it'll work... Norton's humor is not exactly suited for a sitcom, network or otherwise.

Well, I'm sure Norton will have to offer up a seriously toned down version of his comedy, but hell, whatever kind of TV exposure he can get will be fantastic for him. He deserves the chance to show folks what he can do.

I have the funniest image of Jim (Norton) in like a family sitcom like full House where he has to give advice to his children since their mother died when they were young. Of course if all his advice ended with "give them a syringe of AIDS" that might be problem

I was thinking along the same lines. Who wouldn't love to see Jim as the single dad in a Full House type show, or as the remarried loving parent of the Brady Bunch in a house full of young children both male & female.

I wish I were starring in a sitcom, although I'd rather film it under Twato then in Bayonne. We are shooting a film called "Errors, Freaks and Oddities." It is about some guys that rip off rare stamps from a post office, even though from the title you'd think it was a documentary on the Opie&Anthony show. I am, however, currently writing a sitcom about my last relationship for NBC called, "Excuse Me, But Your Cunt Smells Like Cadaver Feet."

Sounds like an Emmy winner to me.

I think we need to get you a sig pic. Where is Gooch's Butterscotch pudding image when you need it?

I think I did hear something about that. It stars Norton and Paula Poundstone and it's called "My two pedopheliac dads". I think its a remake...

Norton's a riot, but what network (other than the WB) would be able to even take a toned-down version of his act?

I wrote a part for him into my script, but there is no kid-touching in it, so I doubt he'd do it for scale.

Tyler: "Flashback humor, how amusing."

Here's the scoop (taken from the August 3rd edition of Entertainment Weekly)

Following in the tradition of Jerry Seinfeld and Ray Romano, stand-up comedian Jim Norton is poised to make the transition to television. The UPN network has already commited to a six episode run of a yet to be titled 1/2 hour sitcom which will find the rowdy comic playing the part of a pediatrician working at an inner city medical clinic.

Why do you think the WB would take a comic of Norton's style? He ain't Steve Harvey or Jamiee Foxx nor would he write a drama about teens (well one that would pass the cesnors).

And I think the title of the UPN show would be "Yes I know she was underaged but she was black and dead"

I'm happy for him, but a network show for a guy like Norton is a tough sell. Also, it'll be on UPN. UPN = Television cancer.

I can't find my edition of EW but I can't believe it's true because it's so perfect for him. Young childrem (pediatrician), medical clinic (AIDS), inner city (blacks and AIDS). And you can't make a joke about AIDS on TV but if there is an AIDS storyline you can't laugh without thinking of him wishing AIDS on people.
