"The Norming of Jack 243" was a TV movie of the week back in the early 70's. From what I remember, the plot was about a planned, rigid futuristic society where everyone watches TV in bare rooms (like "THX 1138"). Jack at first is normal but after running several times into a group of hobos living in an abandoned train car, Jack starts to pick up deviate habits. One such deviate habit is eating in front of his wife which is considered disgusting in a society that is so sterile and above being biological. As the story progresses Jack becomes more and more deviate (kissing his wife) to the point that the powers above take notice. The powers that be (old men) tell Jack that society was set up this way to be more efficient and Jack must conform or else. Jack runs amuck and the powers that be subject Jack to a process called Norming. At the end Jack is turned back into being a good techno-zombie.
