Changes: Golden Years

Revision as of 02:29, 28 April 2018

Golden Years was a television series that ran on CBS from 16 July to 22 August 1991.

The show ran for eight episodes.The miniseries was to lead into a regular series, and therefore ended on a cliffhanger. CBS, however, decided not to pick up the option on the full series, and it was never realized. King asked for four hours of airtime in the following spring to finish the story, but CBS denied him this. The home video version changes the last few minutes of the final aired episode to give the story an optimistic ending.

Plot

When an experiment at a laboratory goes wrong and causes an explosion, elderly janitor Harlan Williams discovers that his aging process is being reversed and he is getting younger. Soon he no longer needs glasses for farsightedness and his white hair is reverting to its blonde color. He ends up on the run from "The Shop."
