OT: Stephen King did NOT invent Kingdom Hospital

[PvK]

Hopefully, few know or care what I'm posting about. There is a presentation on US TV titled "Stephen King's Kingdom Hospital", which might lead some people to believe that he made up the story. No, he's re-making a story by others. There was already a rather fun/creepy Danish mini-series called The Kingdom, and Stephen King had nothing to do with it. The new TV series is only "Stephen King's" in the sense that he's done something to help with this remake. Creepy in an unpleasant way.

The title isn't technically inaccurate, but geez - the original series is plenty good, and is King so desperate for ideas or what? Aren't people sick of re-makes yet? Starsky & Hutch the new film? Agh agh agh... I wish media corporations would take the concepts of branding and re-hashing and ... er, never mind. Bleh.

Just wanted to get that off my chest.
