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

Love this show. Excellent cast. My folks lived in an independent living facility and there are plenty of story lines to use. Plus having stars like former Klinger character, Leslie Ann Warren and Ed Begley was hilarious.

Love this show, please do not cancel, in these trying times we need more shows like these, we seniors need to reminisce and laugh at ourselves as we get older.
Please do NOT cancel this show!!! Funny, clever, well written. Excellent group of seasoned actors — love them all, and the story lines are hilarious! Breath of fresh air to watch. Please renew for many seasons!!! I’m sure many funny things happen in a retirement home….at least that’s what my aunt tells me
Just found it, like it,thumbs up
I LOVE this show! Please do NOT cancel. Finally a show with MY age group.
How tall is that short dude? I am 4’10” he looks my height, he is so funny.
Love all the characters, great cast.
Please do NOT cancel this show!! It is one of the funniest (if not THE funniest) show on TV. I applaud whomever did the casting, the mix of these 4 is hysterical!! I can’t make it through an episode without laughing, especially at the antics and quick wit of Leslie Jordan. Vicki Lawrence is an added bonus, fits right in and doesn’t miss a beat as Margaret. It is truly hysterical.
This is one of the funniest shows to come back to television. Please do not cancel bring it back for as many seasons as possible. The actors in this show are icons. Vicky Lawrence and the 3 men are hysterical. They have great chemistry.
Cool Kids is wonderful show my wife and I can relate to after having elderly parents in assisted living. We would like to have it back for another season.
I love the Cool Kids. Its the best comedy on TV. Please renew it.
