That's true because it followed his novel more closely so of course he liked it better - he also wrote the teleplay to the miniseries.

But critics and audiences preferred the Kubrick film. Sometimes the movie is better than the book.

My main gripe with the Kubrick movie was that Jack went nuts too early and it was a little overacted - BUT if the Wendy Theory version holds then that changes things because she is essentially imagining Jack's behavior and would have been doing this well before they ever went to the hotel so he didn't go nuts early - she simply views him like that all along.
