## Resource

In 1994, Mick Garris had the unenviable task of bringing one of King's most beloved novels to life on ABC. People tuned in to watch it, and it certainly remained faithful to the text, but does that make for a good adaptation? Find out this week in The Stephen Kingcast! During my original review of this mini-series, I didn't fully appreciate how faithful this adaptation was to the source material and how difficult a production like this must have been for the time period. I provide new thoughts to kick off this review to the classic television mini series.
