Did Anyone Else Get Suckered Into Watching Kingdom Hospital?

[Wish Upon A Star]

Or am I the only one? When it first started it had me hooked with its weirdness, then it was off for awhile (I thought it was cancelled) then it came back without warning and tonight was the 2 hour finale which was supposed to make everything clear.

I think it could of been a 2 hour movie from the very beginning, way too many commercials and it really left me disappointed.

Anyone else?

I watched it, though I'm no sure why. I guess it's because I am a Stephen King fan. I'm glad they pretty much put it all together. It took them long enough. I hated all those episodes that left you saying "huh?". Did I understand right that it was going to be an ongoing series and it's been cancelled? That would explain why a few things were left up in the air.

Yes, I've been watching it from the beginning. I missed one episode somewhere in the middle, but it didn't seem to matter. I thought the finale was pretty good. You're right, it could have been a two hour movie and covered everything just as well as dragging it out for 13 or so hours. So, can someone explain the ending to me? Is the hospital really settled, or is Paul and that freaky doctor still there? Did Stegman go insane?

WHAT! I watched that crazy show every week, then it disappeared. Now you're saying the finale was last night and I missed it. I hope they replay the finale.

I watched the first two and couldn't get into it.

Teenee, it showed back up a few weeks ago in the same time slot. I know I missed one or two episodes in the middle too. But as with soap operas, it didn't appear that I missed much. I did get a little confused at the end when they started flashing back to the baseball player, the headless man and Dr. Stegman being lost in the old hospital. I didn't really get what that was all about. I'm not sure what the end means. I would assume Dr. Stegman is really off his rocker and would try to get even if the show continued.

We watched the first 3 weeks and then the comercials were driving us crazy. I need a TiVo.

Stephen King writes a column occasionally for Entertainment Weekly magazine and a few weeks ago (maybe last week), he blasted everyone for not watching the show. I didn't read it, but he was not pleased that it met its end the way it did. One of the worst things a network can do is move a program around. People never know where to look for it.

I watched it in the beginning. Then I had to miss a couple. Thought I would not be able to pick it back up. Did it end up being good? Hope so for all of you.
