I just found out tonight that Just Kids will be made into a limited series on Showtime.
“A limited series on Showtime will allow us to explore the characters more deeply, enabling us to develop stories beyond the book and allow a measure of unorthodox presentation," says Smith. "The medium of a television limited series offers narrative freedom and a chance to expand upon the themes of the book."

You can't judge a book by its cover.
The only thing that matters is the ending. It's the most important part of the story.

Hi Liz! I heard this on the radio last night and had to come over to see if it was posted. Because Patti is involved in both the writing and producing I have very high hopes for the content and quality of the mini-series. Now, I just need to figure out how I'm going to watch it without a Showtime subscription.

Yes, this is fantastic. I will also have the subscription problem. Let's hope it occurs to someone that many of us are watching things online these days, even paying modest sums to do so.
