The show, created by Washington Square Arts & Films and which ran earlier this year on WeTV, will bow on Retirement Living TV, on Dec. 8 at 8 p.m. The show follows the daily lives of a group of active seniors living in an Arizona retirement home. Retirement Living, whose target audience is folks 55+, has secured the right to all 10 episodes of the show.
