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 think Cool Kids should be renewed, I don’t think they were given a chance
Cool kids should be renewed. I don’t think they were given a chance
Very disappointed to see this show go. It was a great cast and always looked forward to watching it on Friday nights. Please renew the show!!!
Tv needs shows like Cool Kids. People need this show. It’s well written and hilarious with this cast. Please don’t cancel one of the best shows. Cool Kids shows a different dynamic of the baby boomer generation. It’s relatable on many levels to the largest generation. Renew the show!
One show that shouldn’t be canceled. It’s one of the best shows on now days seems like the good one like the Orville and designated survivor are moving to net flex. Which is what I truly hope happens with cool kids.
I’m extremely disappointing this show was canceled it’s one of our favorites! We take good comedy off the air to watch a million “HOTEL” drama, everyone sleeping with each other trash. Just what I want me 11 year old daughter watching! Thanks!
This absolutely should have NOT been cancelled. Bring them back.
I liked The Cool Kids, sorry to see it go….
“BRING THEM BACK!!!!!” MY HUSBAND AND I LOVED THIS SHOW!!!!!!
Love The Cool Kids! 18 to 49 is not the correct demographic. Poll 50 and up. A majority of young people are either working or going out on Friday night. Great cast. Please renew!
It’s the best show ever!!! Please bring it back
This show is so great!! My husband would record it and we’d watch it every weekend! We are really gonna miss this show, there isn’t very many good shows out there anymore, like this one. It’s too bad they canceled it, all the characters were GREAT!
I can’t believe you are canceling the best series you have along with Leathal Weapon….in Cool Kids Vicki Lawrence and the rest of the cast are hilarious, why cancel? Give it another year or more. On Leathal Weapon, this show just needs a better partner for Riggs, especially after Clayne Crawford left, someone that is believe able and as crazy as Clayne. He was good for the show and believeable as crazy. Love both of these shows and hate to see them go. The only 2 comedy shows I watch of yours. Please try to keep the best 2 comedies… Read more »
My husband and I love Cool Kids. This comedy is designed for the middle to elder class people. I don’t feel it was given a fair chance for whatever reason it was canceled. There are no other comedy site coms like this…sad! Vicki Lawrence, Leslie Jordan, David Alan Grier, and Martin Mull paired together beautifully! I’ve never laughed so much! I truly hope this decision is reversed! 100% awesome funny show. Please bring Cool Kids back!
I can’t believe you would cancel such a funny sitcom. The times are so terrible now I look for to Friday nights for a good laugh. For once someone did a sitcom geared for us old folks and you have to cancel it. TV is filled with smut. Please keep the Cool Kids.
