Stephen King's Kingdom Hospital

[Flock of Moosen]

I do believe that's what he was going for. Not sure if that part was in the original, but from what I've read the whole accident was supposed to be representative of King's own accident.

We noticed the opening credits said Stephen Kings \"Kingdom Hospital\" based on a novel by {someone else}.

Yes, it was originally written by a man named Lars von Triers. I never heard of this story before now so I don't know how closely Stephen King has followed it.
I am sure of one thing. I bet the characters Jesse James and Johnny B. Goode most likely weren't in the original. That was kinda lame and added even more to the strangeness factor.

Still, I hope ABC gives this a chance and doesn't cancel it midway through like they did with Push, Nevada. Now that I'm hooked, I want to see where this series goes.
