Yep, they aired the raemaining episodes in July. It's done. You didn't miss anything. The two-hour finale was a rehash of the previous episodes and even itself (it literally showed probably 10 minutes of footage twice). You didn't miss much. I'm a huge SK fan, but Kingdom Hospital was just bad.

Or just skip it and be thankful you didn't waste your time.

Wrong. ABC had soooo high hopes for this series. Everything else on the network is bombing bad. They put their eggs into a few baskets. this, alias and some other shows but it just tanked on it's own accord. they really tried hard and as for ad's. guess what, that's the industry. Ad's pay for it to be on so ads need to be on the show.

Maybe they should find a few decent shows like Line of Fire or Karen Sisco and stick with them and build an audience, rather than picking up some of the pure crap they run. Based on ABCs logic, I have yet to figure out why Alias is still on.

Cause they have nothing else. then again they are pretty stupid to go head to head with other shows like they do. They should find an empty night and build off that with average shows.

Just curious if it was pretty good.

seemed like a lot of people dropped off the show after a few episodes. It really wasn't all that great. I would much rather go with the Original.

Stopped watching after a couple of episodes...I really tried to give it an honest shot but it just was not that good.

watched a couple then stopped...
its basically a lame American remake of the excellent Riget (Kingdom) series from Denmark.

Moving to TV Talk.

I watched almost all of them (until ABC started shuffling it around the schedule and dropping it completely until they burned off the final eps sometime in the summer). It was okay, just seemed like very little happened from episode to episode. It might be better on DVD without all the commerical breaks and the "previously on" clips which made it feel like each episode had a 35-40 running time. I'd rent it.

Any word on the original coming to Region 1 DVD now that this version is in the morgue?

The original Danish mini-series is 100% better. I would give the original an "A" and the American version a "C+".

That's what I'm banking on. I didn't watch it on network TV, but plan on renting the DVDs.

I typically don't like these types of network miniseries as it is, so I'm not really the target audience, but I thought it was pretty terrible. The way it aired on ABC (not to mention the overpromotion) made it even worse. I was surprised to see it positively reviewed on the site. It seems to me that the only audience who needs to see this are those who saw the original and are curious what was changed.

Again, though, I usually find these things silly while others seem to like them for reasons I don't get, so if you typically like this stuff, maybe you'll enjoy it. I imagine it has to be better on DVD than the way ABC showed it.

Too spread out. If they had chopped it down to a mini-series the size of The Stand it might have worked. Then again, talking anteaters usually don't bode well in any setting...

I watched the first episode, then got behind when I had 2 or 3 episodes on tape (didn't have the Tivo at the time), so I stopped watching. I'm a big Stephen King fan, so I was a bit intrigued, but didn't lose any sleep not watching it. I'll be renting the DVDs at some point...
