Reception

Reception for Gortimer Gibbon's Life on Normal Street was positive. Brian Lowry of Variety gave it a positive review, saying "there are relatively few live-action shows intended to appeal to the prepubescent set that won't send parents fleeing from the room ... in terms of kids' TV, this sort of genuinely clever alternative is anything but normal."[3] James Poniewozik of Time gave it a positive review, saying it was a series that "finally aims at that niche of original, non-obnoxious TV for tweens… a pleasant throwback, both in its attitude and its style."[4] The Los Angeles Times called it "a charmer"[5] and the New York Post called it "smart, a little zany and never pandering".[6]
