"Kingdom Hospital" |
I've seen some commercials for this show and didn't know what to think at first. but after reading this review, I'm going to check it out."Personally I think this is probably the best pilot I have ever seen. It's clearly the best thing King has written for TV to date. Please do yourself the favor of watching it on March 3. The only thing you will have a problem with is that you have to wait a week to see the next episode. This is TV history in the making, mark my words!" http://www.liljas-library.com

I'm really looking forward to watching this show. I think it looks GREAT! Check out the website for it: http://kingdomhospitalofmaine.com/It looks *normal* at first, but after clicking on different sections, it gets freaky!

3. "Did anyone watch it?" |
I did and it is pretty weird, but that is Stephen King for ya. I guess it will be on Wednesday's at 9:00 CST, is it a show that will not end or just a movie they are dragging out?

6. "WTF?!?!" |
Definitely a strange one, but like KSCOTT said, what else would we expect from Stephen King? Just when I thought it was "normal" for a little while, that anteater would come along. That is one of the weirdest things I have ever seen. I felt like I was stoned watching it. SilverStar Proud Member RBBRTFHLA

Other than the talking anteater, I enjoyed the show. I think it has a lot of potential and hope ABC airs all the episodes (15 in total)

It is definitely not like anything else on TV and thats why I really liked it. I liked how diverse the characters were, the hot shot doctor and that mean boss. and than there's the security guard with the dog. he is just weird but cracks me up. I'll tune in next week.

I missed it. Our local tv critic, with whom I usually agree, HATED it. Thought King should have committed to Lynch homage (e.g., anteater guy) or scariness (e.g., Stephen King novels) and this was a nonscary muddle in between. I haven't seen it though so have no opinion myself - just tossing in someone else's two cents. Because I can.
I thought "It" was pretty great for a television movie. On the other hand, the newer versions of Carrie and The Shining absolutely stink stank stunk."Any government that would deny a gay man bridal registry is fascist." Margaret Cho

What is up with that anteater? Is it some kind of guardian angle?

Oh why did they move this show to Thursday nights? I am so friggin sick and tired of getting interested in a show, only to have them move it to a night which is already full of other shows that I like to watch! Maybe if you had at least kept it in it's 10 o'clock time slot I could have still enjoyed it. Stupid move ABC! I will devote my time and my VCR to Survivor and Apprentice and say good riddance to Kingdom Hospital! It is now dead to me. Proud Member RBBRTFHLA/Greasy Food Division

I'm not giving up on it either, even though it will probably end up getting canceled. Too bad, because I'm enjoying the show!

I'm still watching! The show has FINALLY picked up it's pace and we're finding out more about the girl (Mary Jensen) and next week we're supposed to find out what really happened with that fire that killed all those kids.

It's definitely trippy. It's starting to drag a little bit, but I still watch.I think King is trying to portray what it's like to recover from traumatic brain injury. It definitely plays with your head, and everyone seems "strange" to you as you recover. It reminds me of that Doors song "When you're Strange". He definite exaggerates for the sake of spicing up the script, but it's a good show. Good acting too -- pretty much all of the parts the actors are portraying grate on my nerves. I love the way they show him looking through his eyelids. I was really young once when I watched my cat get a transfusion, and with all of the meds in the air and the morbid nature of what I was watching, I actually fainted. I came to almost immediately on the floor, but I blinked so quickly that I thought I could see through my eyelids. I was young. When a friend of mine was recovering from brain surgery, his psychiatric nurse was condescending and had a borderline personality. I wanted to smack her so many times, but it wasn't my place. It was the absolute worse thing to have to deal with when recovering. If I could go back, things would have been different. I was young.

LAST EDITED ON 05-02-04 AT 00:05 AM (EST)I am totally sucked in, this has quickly become my favorite show on television. I love the quirkness and the characters. Of course, I've read everything that King has written, but I like the whole concept. Theres the ongoing story line and then there's the weekly plot. The constant characters are quirky to say the least, but I don't WANT another ER show. This show has a great mix of the abnormal and the supernatural. The music that they use frequently makes me laugh out loud. It is a bit of time investment to get interested - like almost any of King's great books, but I am now totally and completely hooked. This week with the Red Sox (I mean Robins) and the Bill Buckner-type character was just awesome. It appealed to me as a baseball fan AND a fan of the show! I have to say that at the end of EVERY episode I can't wait for the next one. Does anyone know how this show is doing in the ratings? I would hate to loose it in the middle. Stupid ABC moving it to Thursday!

21. "Cancelled" |
The show finally starts to get good and they cancel it. Of course it should have had much better ratings moving it around, skipping weeks and putting it on against CSI.Another blow against shows I like!

>The show finally starts to get >good and they cancel it. Really? Is Kingdom Hospital DOA? You'd think they'd at LEAST air the remaining episodes for those of us that have been watching since winter. That BITES.
