I've actually never read a single Stephen King book in my life. I have seen a couple of the movies, but I guess since I am not a huge reader they just never appealed to me. I remember the first movie sort of. It's funny because that is on that they don't continuously play on cable TV like some of his other ones. Commando doesn't get as much love as it should either. What I would really love to see on TV again are the old Missing in Action and Delta Force movies with Chuck Norris. Those were so good :) Needless to say, I had no idea Running Man was a King creation. I am curious about the book now that you brought it up. My wife had me read the Hunger Games books and I didn't hate those.
