Ok, who watched this last night? What did you think? I missed the first 1/2 (I was on my way home from work

) but I really enjoyed the last hour and a half. I'm def. staying tuned for next week's episode.

I really wanted to watch that last night, but I had hockey and I forgot to tape it.

What happened? Will they show a repeat of it?

Here's a snipet (from the abc website) about last night's 2 hour premier episode.

Season 1: Episode 1 - "Thy Kingdom Come, Part I"
Air Date: 03/03/2004

Artist Peter Rickman is run down by a stoned, two-time loser driving a minivan. He is admitted comatose to Kingdom Hospital, but not before encountering a ghostly figure whose mission is to use him to rid the hospital of malevolence, both human and inhuman, and to free its nine-year old mistress, Mary, from the hospital's haunted halls. When he awakens in an altered state with newfound but not necessarily welcome telepathic powers, Rickman finds he can communicate with the spirits, good and evil, man and beast, inhabiting the hospital. Mrs. Druse, a patient with psychic gifts, is the first to hear the cries of the trapped ghost and attempts to persuade brilliant, eccentric surgeon Dr. Hook to join her quest to identify it. She is opposed in this effort by the hopelessly arrogant and mean-spirited chief neurologist Dr. Stegman, and the ebullient but vacuous hospital administrator, Dr. Jesse James, who is concerned only with the hospital's image.

Here's a link to the site

I liked it... I'm a big dork/Stephen King fan though. It was a little weird, and I kind of felt like there were too many things going on - but hopefully the storylines will start to tie together in future episodes.

Did anyone else notice that the truck was for Nozz-a-la cola???

I watched it, but I'm going to have to see it again to determine what I think about it. Everytime the anteater was on, I was like, WTF? I don't think I quite get it yet (of course, I was on the phone while I was watching it so I don't think I caught everything).

At first, I thought it was ALF!!!

I am so lost on this. Like a lot of us-I missed too much.

The ant eater was in a painting of his. My bf tried to explain to me about it but I'm still a little lost. Hopefully they'll replay it this weekend/Sunday night - that would be nice. From what I watched, I really enjoyed it and I'm looking forward to the remaining episodes. They should be really good.

Did the anteater painting change??

It seems like the first time his wife looked at it, the anteater was smaller, and not as mean-looking. Then when she looked at it again, it was bigger and showing it's (mean and scary) teeth.

Or am I crazy?

I missed it last night. How was it? What happened?

Last night was first segment that I saw of it. I was just asking for nightmares by watching it by myself and I really don't like that anteater. LOL.
