I'd have to agree with this.  Our whole family went into Golden Years
with high hopes.... we're all Stephen King fans, and were ready to 
watch every night.  After the first hour and a half, I had to bail
out;  my list of things I would rather be doing than watching this
lame attempt at drama got too long.  Both the acting and the writing
needed a lot of work, and the budget on this thing did seem somewhere
between Dr. Who and the original Star Trek.  The rest of my family
gave up after the first night.  
We all feel it could have been done MUCH better than it was.  :-I
