'Under the Dome" coming to CBS summer '13

[Frosty]

Under The Dome was the only King book that I couldn't finish. If the series is going to deviate from the book like mentioned, I may go ahead and watch this.

As for It, I caught the mini-series the other day and decided to reread the book for the first time since the early '90's. I'm about 100 pages from the end. It's insane how good this book is though I remember the ending being a let down.

The best ending of a King novel since the early days was in 11/22/63, which is funny because King says in the end notes that his son Joe Hill suggested the ending and he changed it to Hill's recommendation. Maybe Hill should do that for every King novel from here on out.

This book would make a great 4 or 5 season series. Or the premise could be used for so many possibilities.

I think that 11/22/63 would make a great television series. Especially if it was on a cable network.

agreed. it could be cool. but....
anyone remember the show where the coach from the Friday Night Lights series would get a newspaper every morning that was from the future. every episode he'd try to stop something bad from happening, something that was reported in the newspaper from the future. didn't last long....

EDIT - found it.
Early Edition

His name is Gary Hobson. He gets tomorrow's newspaper today. He doesn't know how. He doesn't know why. All he knows is when the early edition hits his doorstep, he has twenty-four hours to set things right.
