The one-hour
pilot "Geezers" celebrates family values rediscovered by four
retired men from vastly different cultures and backgrounds,
who are united in their fear of growing old alone and the
identity crises
triggered by retirement. This drama-comedy reveals in flashbacks
how the four men meet and
end up forming their new "family unit."
Through laughter and tears the four geezers face estrangement
issues with their real families,
while grappling with aging problems of health, mortality and loss
of sexual prowess.
Embracing both a homeless, runaway teenager, who has escaped an
abusive family situation,
and a young neighbor, rich in material possessions but poor in family
support and love,
this unusual household learns lessons in forgiveness and
acceptance
that help them start the healing processes in their own lives.
