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?
Finally a show that senior citizens can relate to and have a good laugh. Love this show.
great show, great cast.. should be hour long…please renew
Hilarious. We laugh and laugh. Excellent cast
This is by far the best new show this year. The cast is fabulous and works terrific with each other. The “buttons the dog episode” is the best to date. My belly is sore from laughing. Keep them coming
That one is funny but my favorite is when they go to the roller skating rink and Sid starts hanging out with all the rude and sarcastic kids who yell at Margaret for not moving quick enough to get their skates!! I love his one liners under his breath until he becomes “pals” with the most obnoxious girl and then it’s like they were meant to be friends all along.
My favorite night for tv! I dvr to watch over and over. It makes me LAUGH OUT LOUD! Best cast pick for a comedy show. Hope this stays on for years!
Keeps getting better. Just finished one episode and was laughing many times and from the belly.

I love this Show Mom and I watch it on demand together when I pick her up on weekends. Its a great show for seniors! Please don’t cancel…
What a waste of talent. So disappointed. Who are these writers…twenty year olds? I could write a better script from the local Senior Center. How about a field trip and they get lost in a bad neighborhood. Punks board bus and try to rob them. The punks get beat up by the old people. So many plots if you would visit a real senior center. I am 77 and can write better than this.
Totally disagree but entitled to your opinion keeps us laughing
Please don’t cancel this show its finally a show for we seniors
I find The cool kids to be light and refreshing compared to some of the programming on TV its funny, family oriented with a spicy twist please don’t take it off !!!
