Anyone else watching my new favorite TV show? I think I’m already hooked on “Bates Motel” on A&E. It’s a prequel thriller about Norman Bates of the “Psycho” movie fame! Find out what happened to Norman before he became one of the most notorious serial killers. And what was really going on with him and his Mom… who we now know was named Norma. Seriously?!
With Carlton Cuse as one of the show’s producers, it’s sure to have lots of plot twists along the way like my other favorite show of his “LOST.” In fact, the actor who played Richard Alpert is the town’s sheriff… and I’m hoping for more cross-over casting!
We’re only two episodes in, so you’ve got plenty of time to check into the Motel!!!
This seems to be more proof that television and movie writers, producers, and directors have run out of ideas.
It’s pointless.
CAROL – Isn’t ALL television pointless, really?! Although I do think that if you gave it a try, you’d see that they’ve done a lot with the story to make it new & fresh. I don’t think we’ll ever see Janet Leigh checking into the hotel. Instead, we’re going to find out the back-stories of Norman, Norma and the rest of the town & townsfolk that made him into a classic villain. I’m with you that there aren’t enough new ideas out there. But this has a nice twist. Give it a try…
