Norman Price (seasons 6-present)

Norman Price is a character from the children's TV show mh:besttvshows:Fireman Sam, in the first five seasons of the show, he was a 7 year old boy who often caused mischief and also liked to play harmless tricks on his friends and even the people in the Fire Brigade.

However since Season 6, his character got flanderized.

Why He Sucks Now

 * 1) As mentioned above, he has gotten flanderized. He started out as a mischievous boy who only played harmless tricks on his friends, but has now turned into a whiny, bratty jerk who wants to forcefully get what he wants without thinking of others.
 * 2) His voice is extremely annoying and unbearable to listen to (mainly in the UK dub).
 * 3) Sometimes he does horrible things to other characters for the most pettiest reasons.
 * 4) * In one episode, Norman ties up James into a chair for a stupid stunt video in a room that is covered with flammable liquid.
 * 5) * And in another episode, Norman purposely locks James in the swimming pool training room just so he could do a stupid dance.
 * 6) * There is even another episode where he steals a rescue submarine just to try to film some monster that probably isn't even real.
 * 7) In most of the episodes, he is the cause for the emergencies.
 * 8) Unlike in previous seasons, he never learns his lesson or gets properly disciplined. He just gets a warning from the fire brigade that he immediately forgets in the next episode and nothing else!

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Despite his flanderization, there are some episodes where he is actually likable and even herioc, like in the special "Fireman Sam: Alien Alert", where he exposes Buck Douglas' scheme
 * 2) Deep down, Norman does care about others around him.
 * 3) Despite his obnoxious voice in the UK, at least his US voice actors, Carter Treneer (US, series 6-10, specials 1-3), and Mark Ricci (US, seasons 11-current, specials 4-current)) did a decent-to-good job voicing him. In fact, his first US voice actor actually had a fitting voice for him, as he was a child-teenager back when he voiced him.
 * 4) At least he apologizes and shows regret for the things he has done.
