The New Norm

This show may only have a singular, three-minute episode released as of now... but this one was awful. If you thought Mr. Birchum was lousy, then you are in for a real treat.

The show stars some old man who is trapped at home due to "the liberal technology" or whatever... Dude could easily just destroy the device that locks him at his house.

The humor is also dull, to the point where they added a laugh track (I get the Flintstones had one, but the 60s were a different time...).

If you want to watch a good cartoon with a heroic Republican protagonist, just watch King of the Hill instead. Hank Hill would run circles around this old Grandpa.

It's on YouTube, so go ahead and watch the 3 minute pilot.

It feels like a parody of right wing humor - as in, there's no way conservatives would write something this terrible, and allow it to be released with conservative names attached.

But, no, it's legitimately a conservative attempt at humor, with the same tired jokes they've been saying for decades now.

Also strange that they chose to use All In The Family as its setting, given that show was famously liberal, despite conservative attempts to co-opt him.

So this show is the lowest of low hanging fruit. I'm telling you, if I didn't see the names attached, I'd think it was a small studio making fun of conservatives. But it's not. No way is this becoming a show though, I think the reviews of the pilot are enough to sink it. You KNOW they will say they were too edgy and were canceled.

This is not edgy, it is stale.

"The New Norm" is, without a doubt, the absolute worst show ever made. It's a masterclass in how not to create television. The show is completely humorless, lacking any semblance of wit or cleverness. The jokes, if they can be called that, fall flat every time, leading to an overwhelmingly cringey viewing experience. The characters are one-dimensional and wholly unlikable, making it impossible to care about their pointless, meandering storylines. The plot is a mess, devoid of any direction or purpose, leaving viewers wondering why they even bothered to start watching. It's an exercise in frustration, as each episode drags on with no payoff or entertainment value. "The New Norm" is downright unwatchable and should be avoided at all costs. Save your time and watch something-anything-else.

What can anyone say about this atrocity of the Internet. The audio engineering is beyond amateurish and takes you out of the piece before it's barely begun. The voice work was absolutely terrible.

The animation's okay but this is CRINGEY and STEALS concept points from 'All in the Family' & dishonors it with 6th-grade level humor. The humour (all based on conservative talking points) is not even funny on the one level it presents itself.

I make this assessment as someone with over 40 yrs in production, from scriptwriting, voice-over (yes, in animation), audio engineer, photography, and videographer.

Pass on this disaster. It is a shallow, humourless political shots that would be found entertaining only by the most poorly educated. There is better political animation out there.

The lack of stars comes from "The New Norm" being a very bad production and has nothing to do with political leanings.

This show was so bad I got syphilis.

The doctors were familiar with the type of syphilis when I went in.

Apparently a lot of people are contracting it from watching this show.

It's not the std kind of syphilis.

It's the kind where you get so angry that someone made this show thinking it's funny that you just spontaneously get syphilis.

Don't believe me?

Watch it.

The antibiotic protocol they'll put you on after the first episode will destroy your body's natural immunity for at least three years.

I heard three people in Texas had to start living in a bubble because their immune systems were absolutely toast after the amount of amoxicillin they had pumped directly into their brains.

Don't say I didn't warn you.
