Stop beating around the bush Vaughan...what do you really think of his work.
Hahahahaha
Each to their own, but I've enjoyed a number of his novels. 'The Stand' was outstanding...
I can't be arsed to list all his novels that I enjoyed...but there are a good number of them.
Ok, so maybe he's somewhat overrated. Who cares? I still stand by a large number of his work (but not all of it).
If it wasn't ten-to-five then I'd be well up for an argument on King. However, I'm off home in 10mins... so no can do I'm afraid.

I can hardly be bothered to argue about the bloke, he isn't worth my time.
The fact that you mentioned The Stand says it all. That was a LONG time ago. Carrie is a great novel, Salem's Lot is a great novel. The Stand illustrates that he thinks the number of words are more important than the story, but it made a point. And it's a long road down from there.
Today he's rubbish, irrelevant.
Am I the only one who reads "Better than King" or worse - "Recommended by King" on cover blurb and immediately put the title back on the shelves??!?

Nightmares as a book is good, his short works are very entertaining. he also worte a Cthulhu Mythos story called 'Crouch End' which is perhaps my fav short by king.
the TV series is pretty good for what i've watched. low budget but that adds to the weitrdness of the stories chosen. there's only like 8 episodes but very close to the stories themselves.
all in all pretty good watch!!

I got halfway through an episode of Stargate Universe then turned it off due to boredom.

Last night I watched the first episode of the new series of The IT Crowd (on 4OD, as my husband and son are away on Friday when it's on Channel 4). Loved it!

The way everyone's raving about the new series I thought it'd already started and that I'd missed out. But - it's on NORMAL telly this Friday, so after arrows I know what I'll be watching.
