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?
Every time I find a show that I love on regular tv it gets cancelled. I plan on sticking to Netflix or Amazon or anything that isn’t network tv.
I really enjoyed this show. Please reconsider as there are so few good comedy shows for adults on TV
Every time Fox gets a good funny show you asses cancel everything. That is one of the best funny show that ever saw.
I was so disappointed to learn that the Cool Kids had been cancelled. My husband and I looked forward to watching it on Friday nights. It was a funny show, hilarious and truly made me laugh out loud, something we could all use more of. Please bring it back!
I am totally frustrated with Fox cancellation of this show… . This is one of the best comedy that portrays maturity and Seniors in a light other than old, decrepit falling apart Seniors. Seniors are alive and it’s time For saw that! Shame on you for cancelling this awesome show. Of my friends I can count 27 people who are faithful to watching….now you have made Friday’s dull…
No longer interested in watching Fox! Thanks for canceling one of the truly entertaining shows on TV! May your ratings suffer! (although your profits won’t)
this is one of the most entertaining shows , that can really give you a GOOD laugh . Why are all of the Best shows cancelled? This channel is going to make myself and friends boycott !!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SHOW. PLEASE ,PLEASE DON’T CANCEL THIS SHOW. IT IS ONE OF THE BEST SHOWS ON TV. HOPEFULLY ANOTHER CHANNEL WILL PICK IT UP. ALL THESE GUYS ON THE SHOW ARE EXCELLENT ACTORS. LOVE THEM ALL.
Fox has lost there mind! How can you cancel such a great show that had extra episodes ordered for the first season. When are networks going to quit cancelling all the shows we the viewers love for the crap they think is entertaining.
THIS SHOW WAS REALLY FUNNY AND ENTERTAINING!! WHY!!! Too many times enjoyable shows are cancelled. Dr. Kenn was one of them. I do hope that it will be reconsidered. Maybe try a different time period.
This is a good show ,,, lots of jokes , full of laughs,,,, relaxing show about seniors,,,, bring it back ,,, even if on another network …please
The cancellation of this genuinely funny television show resonates as a sad commentary on what Fox aspires to be. Replacing “Last Man Standing” and “The Cool Kids” with an evening of wrestling is truly an epitaph for wholesome entertainment.
Loved this show. Can’t believe it is canceled. Maybe if it were on on Sunday night instead of Friday night it would have done better.
Bummer! Great show, very funny. Good cast. wish it was on Tuesday. So many crappy shows and they let a good one die?
So disappointed. We have not laughed as much in years. Very entertaining with a new situation every week.. Our mature family certainly hopes a renewal is in the near future!!
