}} So are we saying that people actually like _Golden Years_?

Pretty much. I find it an acceptable show, though I wouldn't go out of my
way to recommend it to anyone.

}} It made me want to vomit because the acting was so bad.

I found the acting to be no worse than most current television. The biggest
problem I found was that Frances Sternhagen was just so damn good that she
makes the rest of the cast look like chopped liver.

} Actually, it was pretty good for a screenplay of a SK novel. Which unfor-
} tunately isn't saying much.

And which, unfortunately, isn't the case. GOLDEN YEARS is a completely
original story. It's *not* based on any of King's novels, though it
does have some ties ("The Shop") to FIRESTARTER.
