Whatever Happened to Kingdom Hospital?

[Jamdin]

Okay, this is the third Thursday in a row that the show has not aired. Last week was due to a ballgame and this week was due to some news show featuring Oprah. I really want to throw the TV Guide at ABC for misleading me once again (I had my pretzels and lemon lime soda all set).

I did do some research and I found the answer for other fans of the show.

From Stephen King's newsletter:

Dear Kingdom Hospital Viewers,

ABC will run the final 4 episodes of Kingdom Hospital as three one-hour episodes and one 2-hour episode. Episode 10 is called "The Passion of Reverend Jimmy" by Tabitha King and Stephen King. Episode 11 is called "Seizure Day" by Richard Dooling. Episode 12 is called "Shoulda' Stood in Bed" by Stephen King and the last episode which is 2 hours is called "Finale" by Stephen King. All are directed by Craig Baxley and they will run on consecutive Thursdays beginning June 24th.

Can someone bring me up to speed on this show, please? I didn't even hear about it until recently (don't watch anything else on ABC). The only episode I've seen is the most recent one (baseball player) and it looks interesting enough for me to want to catch it again.

I think Stephen King did an American remake or something.
