    O how i miss this show
    i haven't gotten to see this show since it went off the air, but i think of it now and then. norm Macdonald is both hilarious and a sex god. that's a REAL man.

    i liked laughing until i peed myself every time i watched this show. you wouldn't think the premise would be so good, but the cast made this show work. or maybe that i was (and maybe some other citizens are) forced to do work we don't really want to do, and we like to laugh at someone else trying not too hard to fit in.

    so this show is out on DVD? i must find it. now, would somebody also put "Open All Night" on DVD, and "Becker" too??? Please????
