Background[edit]
I owned a copy of the novel which said "Soon to be a major motion picture directed by George Romero. Should their be any background on how the mini-series was developed? It was originally supposed to be a theatrical film in the 80s or 90s.Gethin Van Hanraath (talk) 23:01, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

TV series, not film[edit]
This article currently has a film infobox, and is also tagged as being part of the Film WikiProject. The article strangely makes no mention of this being aired on TV, but according to IMDb (ref), this miniseries initially aired on ABC in 1994. For that reason it seems to me that this should instead have a television infobox and be part of the Television WikiProject. I'm going to make these changes. --Mepolypse (talk) 18:55, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
- Per the documentation for {{Infobox television}} we should use {{Infobox television film}} for miniseries, so I'm going to do that. --Mepolypse (talk) 19:00, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
Frannie's Baby[edit]
"Soon after being reunited with Stu, Frannie gives birth to a healthy baby..." This is not correct on both counts. When Stu returns he is told that the baby was born with the flu (the doctor later says it will be ok). 129.186.146.182 (talk) 20:03, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
miniseries?[edit]
The infobox has these: Original airing: May 8, 1994 and Running time: 366 minutes
Was that the date for the first part? How many parts there were and how long they were? The way the info is there suggests the whole 366 minutes was sent on one day. Rather strange. 82.141.118.88 (talk) 18:15, 12 June 2013 (UTC)
NYT review has the dates as 8-12 May 1994. IMDB shows me broadcast in August 1994, but that's later UK broadcast.202.81.248.238 (talk) 17:15, 12 July 2014 (UTC)
Connections[edit]
The People who where later in a movie based on Stephen King's work have no connection to this production. They did not get part in this for there later work. This being the inherent implication made by listing connections. 198.45.184.25 (talk) 07:05, 14 November 2013 (UTC)
Nick Andrews[edit]
There has been some back-and forth on whether Nick Andros is deaf or mute. He's both, see [1]. Huon (talk) 15:54, 6 February 2017 (UTC)
- That source isn't authoritative. It's just a throwaway line from a television review. So the question is still open. Laodah 03:26, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

The Stand was released as two separate VHS tapes for Parts 1–2, 3–4 originally in New Zealand and Australia, and later as a two tape set. It was later released on three LaserDiscs in a box set. The Stand was released on DVD by Artisan Entertainment in a double-sided single-disc DVD in October 1999, then in a two-disc format in 2000. Both DVD versions have audio commentary and special features. This release also contains scenes that were previously censored on the original ABC broadcast. In 2006, American DVD rights reverted to Paramount Pictures/CBS DVD. Which was released it as part of a collection with The Langoliers (1995 TV miniseries) and Golden Years (1991 TV miniseries). In 2013, it was given a stand alone release containing the same uncensored version as seen on the Artisan release. This release of The Stand lacks the audio commentary. |
