 Golden Years (also known as Stephen King's Golden Years) is a 1991 television miniseries created and written by Stephen King.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Harlan Williams is an elderly janitor at Falco Plains, a government research laboratory in New York State. One day he finds himself caught in a particle accelerator experiment gone awry, exposing him to a mysterious, luminescent dust. Harlan survives, but his ordeal is far from over — not only are his wounds mysteriously healing, but he has begun to age in reverse. Soon Harlan finds himself the focus of a cross-country manhunt as certain elements of the government try to stop at nothing to learn the secrets of his condition.

 Blessed with Suck: Sure he's aging in reverse, but the fact he's getting younger while his wife is getting older causes the poor woman emotional distress. There's also the fact that the Government Agency of Fiction is now after him and he's developing destructive superpowers that he can't control.

 Bad Boss: Dr. Todhunter, who bullies and berates his underlings in the lab over the slightest inconvenience. And Andrews, who at one point outright threatens a subordinate from the Defense Department over a setback. Also Major Moreland, Harlan's direct superior, who is closer to an Obstructive Bureaucrat. Averted, however, with General Crewes, the overall commander of the base. He helps Terri early on and eventually joins in aiding Harlan.

 Almighty Janitor: Harlan starts as a janitor at a secret government laboratory and starts aging in reverse after an accident. The "almighty" part comes later as he begins developing near-godlike powers on top of that.
