Stephen King Under the Dome TV Adaptation?

When word spread about another attempt to adapt a Stephen King novel I cringed.  Images of failed attempts flashed in my mind remembering the real horror of the whole thing was not the movies it was the production.  That said, like many out there I would love to see a successful adaptation and maybe it could work using the series format rather then the movie format.

Steven Spielberg and DreamWorks TV have optioned the book and are looking to set it up as a mini series. (via /Film)
