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?
Please do not cancel this show. My sister and I are both 60+ years old and every Saturday we talk about this show and how much it makes us laugh. I actually need to go to the bathroom before this show comes on. In this week’s episode when Vicky came in dressed as Sid I laughed so much and then to top it off you have an old Mash character Klinger walk in dressed as Vicky ‘s character. This show reminds me every single week from the first show to hopefully not the last that someone knows how to write… Read more »
Just because an actor gets old, doesn’t mean they are done acting. Many an actor/actress continues on. Been watching TV since it’s inception and over the years one sees the changes by the age groups and culture moving in. Fine, I don’t have a problem with that. The OLDER group has re-runs, but when the OLDER group starts a new show with what we OLDER folks go through , it is a good change from what we are forced( sort of to say, have to watch). Betty White with her show, “Off their Rockers” debuted, was FANTASTIC. The producers and… Read more »
What a disappointment, this was a very funny show. We enjoyed watching it every week. I don’t understand the ratings, how do they measure? I know a lot of people that enjoy this show
I’m sooooo disappointed they canceled The Cool Kids!!!! It was such a fun and well written show!!!
Please reconsider!!! My Friday nights will never be the same!!!!
We love the show! Please don’t take it away
This show was so good! Why was it cancelled? With all the baby boomers getting ready for retirement (a large population) why was it cancelled??? Was it a problem with the writers running out of ideas?
Get different writers! I’m so sad.
I really enjoyed The Cool Kids. I was funny with a lot of diversity. Fox really knows how to kill a enjoyable show. Guess I’ll watch CBS at eight o’clock. Thanks for nothing.
This is a very funny show and my wife and I love to watch it. I can’t believe they are cancelling this show. It was great to watch this after Last Man Standing. I hope they change their minds. We always laugh hard at it.
I can’t believe The Cool Kids is being cancelled!!
It is a quality show and so funny! Please don’t do
it! Everyone I know is talking about this show, we
have all agreed to no longer watch FOX if The Cool
Kids is cancelled. Please bring it back or you will lose
a lot of viewers.
Fox has a knack for killing good shows. This was consistently a funny show. One of the funniest casts. Wish another network would pick it up or streaming platform
Another great show cancelled. Guess I’ll be changing the channel right after Last man standing.
Looks like it’s been cancelled, per several of the stars. 🙁
This show is Great , humorous and very entertaining. We get so sick of SO many cop drama shows this show is a very nice change and we enjoy it very much. Please keep it.
I Love this show, I like it better than Last Man Standing with all the changes on Last Man Standing.
Friday is the night for Last Man Standing and The Cool Kids. Love both of them.
