PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats, but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are encouraged to read the complete guidelines. As entertainment critic Roger Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"Haven"
Syfy 10PM Fridays with repeats on Syfy and USA.

Any resemblances to the book are purely circumstantial.

Anyone watching? Unfortunately, while the book was on a island, the show is just another spooky town in Maine. First episode was last week, some of these folks have weird super powers by golly. Shaping up to be weird mystery of the week.

Based on "The Colorado Kid" by Stephen King.

Anyone watching? The inmates have taken charge of the nuthouse, amazing how they're making a show from a Stephen King story with virtually zero resemblance to what King wrote.

Thematically it may play out the same as the novella. Kind of interesting, no substitute for Lost though.

I have seen the first 2 eps and I like it so far. I never read the Colorado Kid so it is all new to me.

I've only watched the 1st ep - but have the next 2 recorded.

And? Happened to find the book - The Colorado Kid - on a rack at Dollar General Store for $1.
Haven't read it yet, but wills start it tonite.

I read "The Colorado Kid"
Is there another Stephen King?
This did not sound like his style of writing at all.
It's hard for me to believe he wrote that.
Years ago, I read "Thinner" by Richard Bachman and immediately said that the guy wrote just like Stephen King - I knew!

Anyway, have watched all eps except the last one - where they get more into the Colorado Kid story.

They stories are interesting - but don't know for how long.
I'm concerned that if a viewer misses a few eps, they might get lost (like happened to me when I missed a few eps of Lost.).

Yeah, I think he wrote it specifically for the HCC series.

On the other hand it is an odd book in that series (some of which reprint stories that had been OP for like 50 years).
