I do. I think Kubrick's film was sterile, tyrannical and traitorous to its source material. I'm with King on it. It goes so far as to change the protagonist. Also, Steven Weber starts off sane and goes crazy, Jack Nicholson starts off crazy and gets slightly crazier. The tv version is more of an onslaught and puts the focus on Danny, where it belongs.
