I saw the series back when it first aired (haven't see it since and don't plan on doing so), and I remember finding it pretty lame compared to Kubrick's version. I had also read the book, but I thought that Stephen King did a very poor job at conveying the great sense of suspense and anticipation it had, with perhaps the exception of the "attack" of the bush animals.
And I just positively HATED that annoying kid!!!
