Anyone watching 11.22.63?

[The Fatboy]

Watched the first episode on hulu last night. Really enjoyed it? Anyone else?

Watched the 1st Episode last night as well...

Several pretty big changes from the book already, but that's to be expected. I was interested to see if my wife would be interested since you have to be willing to accept the sci-fi aspect, but she was hooked by the end.

I am.. Didn't like Franco cast as Jake from the beginning, still don't.. But whatever. Lots of changes, which I expected.. Hooked me enough though.

On 11/21/63, my parents took a baby patdog to see the President's parade in San Antonio. My dad told my mom, "He's just sitting right out in the open with no real security. Anyone could just shoot him." The next day, someone did.

On 11/22/63, I went to a picnic with my dad, but I came home with my mom!

Didn't realize it was out yet, best book I've ever read, hands down

I'd never read Stephen King before and really didn't think I'd enjoy the SCI-fi part. Book was nearly 1000 pages and by the time I was finishing it I was wishing it 10,000 pages.

Read The Stand if you're just now getting into King.

Don't have Hulu, but I want to read the book first anyway.

I haven't read this particular book, or watched the show, but I'm bumping the thread for I was in the same "King writes horror drivel for the lowest common denominator" boat...until I actually read him. The man is a damn good writer & yarn spinner. "Hearts in Atlantis" was my introduction (terrible movie, don't watch).

This. It was my favorite of his up till this one.. I've reread 11/22/63 about 4 times.
