A while back, I wanted to get a copy of the DVD for the racketeering production Stephen King's "The Stand" so I looked it up on amazon.com and I found a DVD collection for that miniseries and I ordered a DVD collection that included "The Stand" and "Langoliers" and it also had a title "The Golden Years." Since then I have been trying to remember if I had even heard that title before but it has been very vague in my mind. I started watching it a short while ago for the first time and I have it paused now at the point where the explosion happens that is apparently, from what I read earlier tonight before I started watching the DVD, the basis for the plot of the television series. Nothing about it so far seems familiar but I am wondering if this is one of those things I am very familiar with, because I studied it a long time ago because it was a racketeering production, and my mind was conditioned to ignore that sense of familiarity. I also wondered if that television series was based on a book by Stephen King but that doesn't seem to be the case.
Watching it so far there is the so-called "Mad Scientist" guy who seems to be in charge of some kind of project in a laboratory setting that involves generated power equal to a supernova, according to the dialog. The scientist tells his intern "Ray" to not say anything about a problem with the equipment and then "Tommy, the third of the three guys in that lab, is arguing to the scientist that safety regulations must be followed. Predictably, the lab begins to catch on fire and "Tommy" says to "Ray" that the scientist is not listening to their continued warnings because he is on "another planet." The lab then explodes, but the scientist runs out of the lab in time and knocks down the janitor, who is apparently the starring character in the television series, and leaves the janitor with a bloodied lip.
So as much as I am sick and tired of writing these reports and making official statements that will never be anything less than ignored on a massive scale, I decided to write this up because I read a description earlier tonight before watching it that the lead character, apparently the seventy year old janitor who gets knocked down by the scientist as he runs away, begins to de-age as a result of the exposure he endures when the laboratory explodes.

Golden Years (TV series)
Original run 16 July 1991 – 22 August 1991
Golden Years (also referred as Stephen King's 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 and there is an explosion, he finds that the aging process is being reversed and he is getting younger. He ends up on the run from an operative of "The Shop". The Shop is a quasi-government agency that has appeared or is mentioned in a number of Stephen King's books as well as adaptations, most prominently in Firestarter, as well as The Tommyknockers, Carrie and the film adaptation of The Lawnmower Man. (It is also Intelligence Community Slang for the CIA which has been known as the "Shop" since its inception.)
The theme song of the show 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.

THIS DAY IN HISTORY
Mar 4, 1966:
John Lennon sparks his first major controversy
In England, no one took much notice of the John Lennon quotation that later set off a media frenzy in America. Chalk it up to a fundamental difference in religious outlook between Britain and America, or to a fundamental difference in sense of humor. Whatever the reason, it was only after the American press got hold of his words some five months later that the John Lennon comment that first appeared in the London Evening Standard on March 4, 1966, erupted into the "Bigger than Jesus" scandal that brought a semi-official end to the giddy phenomenon known as Beatlemania.
In their original context, Lennon's remarks were clearly meant not as a boast, but as a sardonic commentary on the waning importance of religion. "Christianity will go," Lennon said. "It will vanish and shrink....We're more popular than Jesus now." It was only one comment in an interview that covered such wide-ranging topics as gorilla suits and car phones, but it was this comment alone that made its way into the American teenybopper magazine DATEbook several months later, boiled down to the straightforward line, "We're more popular than Jesus."
