The Cool Kids - Season 1

A Cool Kids that actually looked at what it feels like to be living in a retirement community, beyond the easy gags, would have been something new. But corny jokes about race and sexuality are barely enough to shock anymore; we've heard them all before.

Given its pedigree, from Charlie Day, writer of "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia," let's not yet dismiss it based on a stilted pilot.

It's not particularly ambitious, in form or content, but it hits the marks it assigns itself.

The writing on The Cool Kids is hit-or-miss, and I would ratchet down the hyperactive laugh track... But the cast is appealing enough to overcome these quibbles.

That's the Boomers, making one last glorious mess on their way out.

I'm hoping the mediocre writing can eventually rise to meet the level of the cast, but for now, there are worse ways to spend your Friday nights than with this cozy throwback.

These are comic vets, in some cases legends, and they will take The Cool Kids to heights that are probably higher than the material or even the format merits.

In the pilot episode at least, The Cool Kids panders to stereotypes, cliches and tropes and boy, it's a good time.

It's cool having them all back on TV, especially Lawrence, who seems more vibrant than in all those years when she donned Mama's wig.

Unfortunately, the show is pretty terrible and not funny.
