Season 1 Review:
The hour is very funny at times, and also far less polished than it would have been had Macdonald gotten the chance to fully work it out in front of audiences and then tape it in a proper venue. But the unusual format gives us a glimpse into both his process as a comedian and the state of his mind toward the end of his life.

Season 1 Review:
Some of the material is a little unpolished, but it allows a range of topics that Macdonald makes equally appropriate for his folksy style: potentially cornball material about airplanes and doctors, swirled into darker, more morbid thoughts about plane crashes and hospital life support.

Season 1 Review:
On one side, there’s the heaviness of Macdonald’s death and his memory. On the other side is the special itself, which is not quite ephemeral, but it’s close. It’s thin. Some portions are striking and fun, some feel like incomplete approaches to an idea that’s not fully there yet, some are simply overworn premises without enough oomph to distinguish them. ... The indistinctness of Nothing Special does create an opportunity to remember him. Like the comedians gathered at the end, it’s an invitation.

This is a very good final special from Norm and it's great to hear all of these thoughts about him from successful comedians of their time. Norm had such a specific sense of humor.
