    The Norman Bates saga came to an end in this sorry made-for-TV finale. It's a shame because the plot at least offers up an intriguing twist: as the now rehabilitated Norman (Anthony Perkins, again excellent) discusses his fears over a radio phone-in, we flash back to the young Norman (played here by ET's Henry Thomas) and his troubled relationship with his mother. However, this promising idea is sloppily executed, while the climax is just plain silly.

    Not Bad !!!

    A seemingly rehabilitated Norman Bates is drawn to a late night radio show where the host encourages him to share his views on the topic of matricide, the murder of a mother by her own child. Norman recounts his trials as a young boy living with his widowed schizophrenic mother and also begins to relive and rekindle his killing urge.
