**SERIES PREMIERE**--"THE COOL KIDS" - (8:30-9:00 PM ET/PT) CC-AD-HDTV 720p-Dolby Digital 5.1

ADULTS IN A RETIREMENT COMMUNITY GROW OLD...HILARIOUSLY ON THE ALL-NEW SERIES PREMIERE OF "THE COOL KIDS" FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, ON FOX

All-New Comedy Starring Comedy Legends David Alan Grier, Martin Mull, Vicki Lawrence and Leslie Jordan

New multi-camera comedy THE COOL KIDS follows a rowdy, rag-tag group of friends living in a retirement community. HANK (Tony Award nominee David Alan Grier) is the leader of this motley crew, a gruff, opinionated, 21st century Archie Bunker who will go to any lengths to have a good time. His loyal, but less than helpful, friends include CHARLIE (Emmy Award nominee Martin Mull), a bumbling wanderer who constantly goes off on tangents about some bizarre, barely believable episode from his life; and SID (Emmy Award winner Leslie Jordan), a fun-loving hedonist with a flair for the melodramatic. Complicating matters is MARGARET (Emmy Award winner 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. These "cool kids" are determined to make the third act of the lives the craziest one yet, and are willing to break every rule in order to have fun - because, at their age, what do they really have to lose? Don't miss the all-new "Pilot" series premiere episode of THE COOL KIDS airing Friday, Sept. 28 (8:30-9:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. (CK-101) (TV-14 D, L)

The trailer for this look awful. Feel bad for DAG; I enjoyed Carmichael show. This seems like a step down for him.

I keep on seeing the commercial for this on FXX. Looks like it could go either way to me but I’m leaning a bit more towards it probably not being very good. Might watch the pilot tonight after Last Man Standing which I don’t mind.

I fell off half way through the season, but I liked the stupid comedy. It made for good background TV. I'll have to catch up during the summer.

Shit. I've been watching and enjoying since day one. Their FB page had LOTS of Older fans who enjoyed the show and the older guest actors who appeared. I guess it wasn't enough.

I think it's a terrible show, but I still watch it (with low expectations). If it were not on Friday and I sort of watch it as I sort of get my act together before running errands on Saturday, I probably wouldn't bother. I imagine if Fox hadn't given Friday to Wrestling, it might stay on. "Last Man Standing" has about one year left in it, and they'll have to find a place to put it.

Hallmark Network should pick it up and air it after Golden Girls.

I will watch anything with David Alan Grier. He just makes me laugh. Just about every line. lol

I watched it and enjoyed it. It wasn't great but had it's moments.

This show brought up a conversation with my 80+ yr old inlaws. They had no idea Vicki Lawrence played Mama. They thought she was played by an old lady irl
