Normal, Ohio

Normal, Ohio is an American sitcom that aired on Fox from September 18, 2000 to May 14, 2001. The series had a total of 24 episodes.

Plot
The show was most notable for the divisions it exposed regarding American culture's view of homosexuality. Gamble was an average blue collar bear-type gay man, with many traits typical of American masculinity, including a love of football and beer, and very few of the traits stereo typically associated with gay men, and yet his sexuality itself was signified in part by isolated moments of more stereo typically gay behavior, such as singing snippets of Broadway show tunes and helping his sister to color her hair, that were seemingly at odds with the way his character was presented most of the time. As a result, some media outlets dismissed Goodman's role as unrealistic.
