The Cool Kids
Created by Charlie Day
On FOX
A warm, irreverent sitcom about aging friendship and social hierarchy that uses gallows humor to find comedy in mortality without dwelling on it.
Three guy friends in a retirement community are the top dogs until they’re blown out of the water by the newest member of the community, a female rebel who’s ready to challenge their place – it’s high school with 70 somethings.
