Under the Dome

I liked the pilot. Anyone else watch?

I did and missed all of game 6 of the Cup Final. Under the Dome was entertaining and had some funny parts. I definitely want a GIF of the cow being sliced in half as a result of the dome falling on it. I thought it was funny that Hank from Breaking Bad has no idea that his son is Norman Bates.

Is that that new show that's basically The Simpsons Movie but not in Springfield? I vaguely remember seeing an ad for it during AMC's pre-movie time waster.

Amazon has all the episodes as soon as they air for Prime users so I may check it out. Its by Stephen King and I like a lot of his stuff. We'll see.

Network?

According to Stephen J. Spignesi's 1998 book The Lost Work of Stephen King,[31] The Cannibals (originally titled Under the Dome) is an unpublished unfinished 450-page handwritten novel written in 1982, while King was filming Creepshow. This work later served as inspiration to King's new novel Under the Dome. In 1982, King said:
I've got about four-hundred-and-fifty pages done and it is all about these people who are trapped in an apartment building. Worst thing I could think of. And I thought, wouldn't it be funny if they all ended up eating each other? It's very, very bizarre because it's all on one note. And who knows whether it will be published or not?
On September 15, 2009, Stephen King's official site posted a 61-page facsimile excerpt from King's original novel The Cannibals, consisting of the first four chapters of the original typescript.[32] A further 63 pages were posted on October 4. The excerpts served to also document how long ago King had had the idea of being under a dome:
Several Internet writers have speculated on a perceived similarity between Under the Dome and The Simpsons Movie, where, [...] Springfield is isolated inside a large glass dome [...]. I can’t speak personally to this, because I have never seen the movie, and the similarity came as a complete surprise to me...although I know, from personal experience, that the similarity will turn out to be casual. For the doubters, this excerpt [from The Cannibals] should demonstrate that I was thinking dome and isolation long before Homer, Marge, and their amusing brood came on the scene."

Network?

CBS

[ohmwrecker]

Simpsons did it!

I loved the book .. didn't realize they were making a tv show out of it. Huh...

[leemajors]

Still watching and liking this show. Dean Norris is great on it, and it was nice to see Winona from Justified for a few eps. I gotta say, pic quality on OTA CBS is ridiculously good. Looks like a live reality show.

One of the good things about ditching cable: uncompressed HD.

I actually had to double check my TV and make sure the 240 motion plus wasn't back on :lol
