TIS, I read the book awhile back and really enjoyed it. King made it a very emotional story to follow, so I was excited to hear about the series being made. I love the inside jokes that you mentioned - sounds funny!

PB, thanks for the link; I think I'll watch it first, though, since I know my curiosity will get the best of me eventually! I always like finding out which things they kept true to and which they did their own way when his stories are produced.
