| Norm's entrance into the bar is a [[running gag]] on ''Cheers'', typically beginning with a greeting by Norm. This is followed by the bar crowd yelling his name (except [[Diane Chambers]], who would follow with a more refined "Norman", and [[Woody Boyd]] who would refer to him as "Mr. Peterson"). Norm is also greeted with the customary "Norm!" shout at other locations, including a bowling alley ("From Beer to Eternity", season 4, episode 9), The Hungry Heifer ("Cheers: The Motion Picture", season 5, episode 24), and Gary's Olde Towne Tavern, Cheers' rival bar ("Bar Wars VI", season 10, episode 23). When Sam asks why the people at Gary's know him by name, Norm replies that he goes there on Christmas when Cheers is closed. A recurring gag in the series is, following a commercial, for the bartender to ask Norm if he wants another beer; Norm replies "one quick one," after which he inevitably stays a lot longer. "Norm" is actually the first word of Frederick Crane, son of [[Frasier Crane]] and [[Lilith Sternin]]. (However, Lilith joyously believes that he said "Mommy!") | Norm's entrance into the bar is a [[running gag]] on ''Cheers'', typically beginning with a greeting by Norm.

| Prior to the show, Norm was born in Chicago, and moved to Boston to become an accountant,<ref>"Knights of the Scimitar"</ref> and is a lifelong [[Boston Celtics]] fan who went to [[Boston Garden]] as a child.<ref>"Where Have All The Floorboards Gone?"</ref> Norm previously served in the [[United States Coast Guard]], though in an earlier episode he stated he'd been in the Army. He loses his job in an accounting firm by defending [[Diane Chambers|Diane]] from his boss,<ref name="friendsromans">"Friends, Romans and Accountants"</ref> and after struggling for few years as an independent accountant, eventually becomes a housepainter. Norm was also revealed to be an accomplished interior decorator and beer taster, capable of spotting a bad vat in a factory by drinking a single bottle. | Prior to the show, Norm was born in Chicago, and moved to Boston to become an accountant,<ref>"Knights of the Scimitar"</ref> and is a lifelong [[Boston Celtics]] fan who went to [[Boston Garden]] as a child.<ref>"Where Have All The Floorboards Gone?"</ref> Norm previously served in the [[United States Coast Guard]], though in an earlier episode he stated he had been in the Army.

| Even when unemployed, Norm is the bar's best customer. A [[running gag]] throughout the series are the numerous jokes made about the enormous size of Norm's tab at ''Cheers'': several large binders are shown as being just a portion of it. In the episode "Home Malone" (season 9, episode 24), when Woody's rich, naïve girlfriend Kelly waitresses at Cheers to gain "real-life experience," Norm convinces her that the tab is a record of the beers for which he has already paid, and for each new beer a mark should be erased. In the finale, Sam has to have his total tab for the series calculated by [[NASA]]. The only time he was seen to pay off any of his tab was when new manager [[Rebecca Howe]] temporarily cut him off after discovering he owed almost $850, but she agreed to payment in kind by him painting her office and apartment. This led to him setting up as a housepainter. The few times Norm drinks at another bar, he is immediately kicked out because the bartenders demand an immediate cash payment instead of a tab. Nevertheless, Norm annually receives a complimentary beer on his birthday. | Even when unemployed, Norm is the bar's best customer.
