'Under the Dome" coming to CBS summer '13

I'm cautiously optimistic on this one. Network TV typically fails on these shows that require a real story or they get cancelled. The reviews seem positive. If it's successful they'll likely try to stretch it into way too many seasons though.

The book is long but I honestly think it could be a 2 season show easily.

That is one reason I am hesitant to start watching it. I am afraid that it will never really have a conclusion, at least not in a timely manner.

I was really excited when Falling Skies first came out but that show just dragged on and on with much of most of the episodes not really having anything happen. I have that fear of this show even though when I first saw previews in the theaters I was pretty excited for it.
