Anecdotes:

Sony pictures wanted the show shot on HD video. The director wanted to shoot on 35mm film. Stephen King agreed with his director and paid for the additional expenses out of his own pocket.

Goofs:

Continuity: When Peter finds the old newspaper clippings in the back of Mary's doll, the headlines say "Hundreds Missing and Dead in Gates Falls Mill fire", and under it is the information on the fire. When Sally and Hook save Mary and the headlines change to "Mill Owner, Foreman Arrested in Arson Plot", underneath is the very same information that was on the last newspaper, which was supposed to no longer exist.

Dr. Stegman: Maine hick scum!

Abolutely brilliant !

This fantastic mini-series had me hooked right form the very first episode for so many reasons, the story for one thing. wanting more after each episode. I am so glad i rented out both volumes at once on D.V.D. so I wouldn't have been left hanging for the next episode.

I LOVE this show, it has sadness, serenity, horror, twists & turns, and even a little bit of dark humour which is sure to be put a different perspective on things.

You will love "Kingdom Hospital" from beginning to end. You would surely be a fool to not watch this, it's a real treasure, television at it's best, kudos to the cast and crew for their outright extraordinary work on this piece, and again, without spoiling anything or giving anything away, the ending is sure to have you guessing, but in a good way, because no matter what those criticisers say, they will not hurt my respect and love of Stephen King's: "Kingdom Hospital". It is a great show with great acting, great music, and a great storyline, one for the ages. For a mini-series, this is utterly perfect, and is even better than a lot of feature films out there.

WATCH KINGDOM HOSPITAL ! ! ! 9/10

Adios ! Y'all
