COOL KIDS Make Grade for FOX
Posted on October 6, 2018
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.
