During their off- times, Sam has flings with many not- so- bright "sexy women",[9] yet fails to pursue a meaningful relationship[9] and fails to seduce other women, such as intellectuals.

He has a daughter, Lisa. Coach is often tricked into situations, especially ones that put the bar at stake. Coach listens to people's problems and solves them.

George Wendt portrays Norm Peterson, a bar regular and occasionally- employed accountant. A recurrent joke on the show, especially in the earlier seasons, was that the character was such a popular and constant fixture at the bar that anytime he entered through the front door everyone present would yell out his name ("NORM!") in greeting; usually this cry would be followed by one of the present bartenders asking Norm how he was, usually receiving a sardonic response and a request for a beer.

He has infrequent accounting jobs and a troubled marriage with (but is still in love with and married to) Vera, an unseen character. Later in the series, he becomes a house painter and an interior decorator. The character was not originally intended to be a main cast role; [8] Wendt auditioned for a minor role of George for the pilot episode.
