Starring legendary comedians David Alan Grier, Leslie Jordan, Vicki Lawrence and Martin Mull, THE COOL KIDS on FOX Television promises to take us comedy lovers on a joy ride of laughter and fun.
“The Cool Kids” is a comedy about a rowdy, rag-tag group of friends living in a retirement community who are willing to break every rule to have fun, because, at their age, what do they really have to lose?
Hank (David Alan Grier) a gruff, opinionated, 21st-century Archie Bunker who will go to any lengths to have a good time, is the leader of this motley crew. His loyal — but less than helpful — friends include Charlie (Martin Mull ), a bumbling storyteller who constantly goes off on tangents about some bizarre and barely believable episodes from his life; and Sid (Leslie Jordan), a nay-saying, pill-popping hypochondriac who shoots down every scheme but still gets roped in.
Complicating matters is Margaret (Vicki Lawrence), a brash, confident woman who forces her way into their group and refuses to leave because she’s not going to take crap from anyone — especially not these three. But what unites them all is their shared belief that they’re not done yet — not by a long shot. Growing old with dignity is for chumps.
