TV show description:
A multi-camera sitcom on FOX, The Cool Kids revolves around a loyal but motley crew who live at a retirement community and will break any rule to have fun.
Hank (Grier) is the leader of a trio of male friends. He’s gruff and opinionated and not completely unlike Archie Bunker. Charlie (Mull) is a bumbling wanderer who constantly goes off on tangents about bizarre episodes from his life. Meanwhile, Sid (Jordan) is a fun-loving but quite melodramatic little guy.
The lives of these guys are complicated when Margaret (Lawrence) forces her way into the group. She’s a brash and confident woman who’s not going to take crap from anyone — especially not these three.
Though they may be old, this quartet is far from done with life. Growing old with dignity is for chumps. The self-proclaimed “cool kids” are determined to make the third act of their lives the craziest and most interesting one yet.
Episode #22 — The Friend-aversary
Hank, Charlie and Sid prepare their Friend-iversary party, and don’t include Margaret. Noticing the tension between Hank and Sid, Margaret encourages Sid to speak up for himself. Meanwhile, Sid has his sights set on the patio for their party and attempts to convince the cat ladies to release it to them.
First aired: May 10, 2019
What do you think? Do you like The Cool Kids TV show? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a second season on FOX?
I truly enjoyed the antics of a a generation of laughter, reliability and good ole fun … These comedians have dug the trail of newly made comedy that isn’t as fun … There have been shows that have been cancelled that could have run for yrs but everything is about money unlike the ole school that just wanted to make Us laughter … So sad for our lost …

My husband and I are very disappointed the cool kids were taken off the air. We looked forward too watching this every week.
One of the best shows on tv.
I loved watching this show. I’m very disappointed it will not be coming back on. I know other people too that love this show
Why would you cancel one of the funniest shows on TV for the OLDER crowds. BAD, look forward to it on Friday nights, no drama, not killing just laughs. WOW!
I thought this was the funniest show on Fox. Why on earth would you give it only one season? My husband and I were sad to see it go.
Te only good new comedy on tv was “the cool kids” and they take it off what is fox thinking? Won’t be watching anything on “fox” again.
My wife and I loved this show. since we are both Seniors we could really relate. We think FOX has made a big mistake.
My husband and I truly enjoyed watching this very funny show! We are really shocked that this show was canceled!! It was one of the few shows that we actually watched. It has been a long time since we laughed so hard during a tv show and we laughed hard at each episode. The actors worked very well together, it just seemed so natural. We really wish you would renew it – if not we hope another network picks it up!!!
We loved the show and I am shocked that they cancelled it! I truly looked forward to each episode and can’t believe there wouldn’t be at least one more season. People were just starting to figure it out. Bring back the Cool Kids!!!
Love this show! TV is getting ridiculous. This is a great show and it’s already cancelled. Network is wondering why your ratings are so low, no one bothers to get into your shows because you cancel so fast. Better to just stream for free. I’m ready to drop my cable and just stream exclusively.
Loved this funny show…great cast…please renew!
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, BRING THEM BACK. THEY WERE MY ENTERTAINMENT ON FRIDAY NIGHT. I WOULD RATHER WATCH COOL KIDS THAN LAST MAN STANDING.
Me too!!!!
Love the show too. Hopes it picked up by another network
Loved this show! It was one of the few shows I watched on Fox and I was looking forward to a second season. All four of the characters are great together and so funny! Please bring it back Fox!!! If not, I hope another network picks it up!!!
