Golden Years is a Stephen King miniseries that aired in seven parts on CBS in 1991. It is about an old man named Harlan Williams who works as a janitor at a lab. When an experiment goes wrong, he is affected by the explosion that reverses aging. He ends up on the run from "The Shop", the same agency that hunted Charlene "Charlie" McGee in Firestarter. The theme song is "Golden Years" by David Bowie. Stephen King has a cameo as a bus driver.

The original televised series never finished, as the eighth and final episode did not air. The show was left on a cliffhanger which was not fully resolved when it came out on video. Instead, the producers changed what had happened in the last minutes of the seventh episode and made that the final installment.
