With 78 million baby boomers nearing retirement age, our notions about retirement are about to get turned upside down. But unlike the old days of generous pensions and a dependable Social Security system, these days Americans will find it much more difficult to live comfortably as they get older and leave the workplace. The two-part series "Retirement Revolution" (10 p.m. EDT on PBS, check listings) explores practical strategies for dealing with retirement along with fresh perspectives on what retirement means for a new generation determined to do more with their golden years than improve their bridge games (although that's a pretty worthy goal, let's face it).
