Names ---
No Butz About it
Kicking Butz
Beavis and Butz head
I love my Butz
Premises--
"Family sitcom"- Single father Norbert raising his kids, romantic lead, shamless laughs, etc
"Family Drama"- um...single father raising his kids, romantic lead, dealing with real life issues, etc
My idea----
Seriously, a Freddy Benson sitcom. There is a lot of material with this character. Set it before or after DRS. If after DRS, have Sherie come back for some guest shots. Every episode, a new con and lots of laughs. Great Big Stuff would be the theme stuff. It would be blast. Maybe he can adopt the Ruprecht persona again for some cons. The only problem would be explaining the whole DRS stuff. But that can be remedied with some good writing.

Posted: 11/9/05 at 10:29pmsounds good ryan. no idea about it. they might go completely different way though. they have been wanting him since he first came on as Roger in Rent. (i believe). But i love the title 'No Btuz About It.' lol.
<--- the set of A Midsummer Night's Dream that I was assistant stage manager for during the 2007 season at the STNJ outdoor stage.
-Dre- You must remember all the same that at the crux of every game is knowing when it's time to leave the table... And it's important to be artful in your exit. No turning back, you must accept the con is done... It was a ball, it was a blast. And it's a shame it couldn't last. But every chapter has to end, you must agree.

There's a special kind of people known as show people. We live in a world full of dreams. Sometimes we're not too certain what's false and what's real. But we're seldom in doubt about what we feel.

It is a far, far better thing I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest I go to, than I have ever known.

Hmmm...I don't see him in a family dynamic, haha or maybe I just don't want too 
It would be fun to see him as a comedian...ooor a bad loungersinger could be fun!
So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life.~Office Space

Posted: 11/9/05 at 11:03pmI love the DRS idea but I doubt it's likely.
Am I cut out to spend my time this way?

Posted: 11/9/05 at 11:19pmIf they use his name in the title, its almost a definite flop. The Freddy Benson idea would be a good one. tvguide.com made a joke about it and said... "Norbert Leo Butz, a Tony winner for his take on the Steve Martin role in Broadway's Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, has been signed to star in a CBS comedy series that most likely will not be titled "Everybody Loves Norbert."

LOL, Jose.
You took the words right out of my mouth:
"If, An Nor Butz"
How about:
Kiss My Butz
Who's the Butz?
Butz, I'm a Cheerleader

I'm sure it was moved over here because it is in fact "off-topic" Liir.
The ideas are funny, but I don't see them as the right fit. I love the Freddy one, but it seems least likely.
I stand corrected, you are as vapid as they say.
