[ laughter ] no you actually go -- you want the writing, you want the performance and everything, to live up to -- i mean, i think his shows were fantastic, "all in the family." >> jimmy: of course. "maude." did norman come to the set of "transformers"? >> no, no. that was a create set. it was fun. >> jimmy: was it fun? >> it was really fun. day one it was like the middle of a desert in a junkyard
