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?
Loved the Cool Kids. Very funny,. Been waiting for it to return and found out it was cancelled. Such a disappointment. Iconic actors. Please bring it back.
NOOOOOOOOO!!!!! BRING BACK “THE COOL KIDS” SITCOM, PLEASE! We loved this absolutely funny show. We looked forward to watching it every week….. The ratings should NOT be gauged by the age demographics of 18 – 49. THAT’S ABSOLUTELY ABSURD, SKEWED & SHORTSIGHTED. Predominately, the age of the viewers were (at minimum) starting between the ages 45 -49 (ish) & going all the way up to 100 +/-. Anyone below age 45 could not & would not appreciate the humor of this show performed by & for the “older” viewers. Stop crowding us (the over age 45) out of enjoying shows… Read more »
I would like to see the Cool Kids return. The show was really funny and enjoyable. Please bring it back.
I loved this show! Why was this cancelled? To make room for more “reality” TV? What a waste!
I agree loved this show. All they are putting on now are more police FBI Christmas stories. Need more funny shows.
So sick of all good shows being canceled for these stupid cops, talk shows, and ignorant series they put on and say there so highly rated. I don’t know hardly anybody that watches them. The Cool Kids was great show. Had it all, comedy, reality, friendship ,and life situations. Just great show to watch and get good laugh.
Cool Kids was highly hilarious! It was relatable. You should really rethink this show. These actors nailed it.
This show is wonderful. Please bring them back. My wife and I absolutely crack up with every funny line.
I loved the cool kids! Please bring it back!
Really wish the network would re-think and bring this show back. So sick and tired of reality/talent shows. I watch TV to escape and to be entertained. This show was it. Great cast and awesome writing.
Really wish Fox would re-think it’s programming. Best show in a long time. Bring it back or hoping that another network picks it up. So sick of talent/reality shows.
Disappointed, we really enjoyed the Cool Kids
I AM SO TIRED OF ALL THE GOOD SHOWS BEING CANCELLED! This one was really GREAT!
