Vicki Lawrence announced today that Fox cancelled her highlarious show The Cool Kids. She wrote, “One last new episode of Cool Kids tonight. End of season 1, end of @thecoolkidsfox 😟 We have been cancelled. I’ve had a good #cry I’ll probably have another. I will miss #myboys” I will miss the four of them too. Even though, they had a crappy pilot, every episode after that got better and better.
Case in point, on tonight’s series finale at 8:30p. Hank (David Alan Grier), Charlie (Martin Mull) and Sid (Leslie Jordan) are going to celebrate their friendiversary and decide not to include Margaret (Lawrence). When she finds out that Sid was not their first choice, she decides to tell him. He gets all catty with his BFFs and joins the cat lady group with Margaret. She realizes he is better with their old friends and comes up with a plan to reunite them all. That is when it gets really funny. So funny, I scared my cat when I laughed out loud. And she did not even mind all the cats they had on the show. Oh and I don’t want to spoil anything but Jamie Farr has the most outrageously hysterical moment of the night.
I am sad this show is ending because it really made me happy every week. Unlike Last Man Standing which has not been as good on Fox. Could be because I hate the new Mandy, She is not as endearing as the original one. Like tonight’s episode, she is not ready to move out and her parents are doing everything in their power to get her to move. It is not like she is moving that far away. She can visit all the time.
The Cool Kids was not the only show to get the dreaded axe on Fox. They also pulled the plug on The Passage. I had to look up what show that was because I could not remember what it was. Do you?

There was a time that it looked like Last Man Standing was not going to have a 150th episode because ABC cancelled it after 130 episodes. Then, a year later, Fox resurrected the comedy and tonight at 8p, it will celebrate its 150th episode!
Mandy (Molly McCock) is looking for an easy way to get her fashion career started, but her dad (Tim Allen) doesn’t think she knows what she is doing. Therefore, he takes her to his job at the Outdoor Man to meet a businesswoman (Melissa Peterman). He thinks she will shun his daughter, but the opposite happens. What is Mike going to do sabotage his daughter’s career?
Then at 8:30p, it is time for The Cool Kids to celebrate its 20th episode. Sid (Leslie Jordan) is avoiding his boyfriend (Jere Burns) because he thinks he is going to propose to him.
Margaret (Vicki Lawrence) on the other hand is going out with a Harvard man (Robert Pine) because she told him she went to Yale. Will he find out her secret?
Finally, Hank (David Alan Grier) is waiting for the results of his mole removal. Since the doctor did not call him back before 5p on Friday, he is convinced that he is dying. Charlie (Martin Mull) convinces him to break into their doctor’s office to get the results. What could go wrong besides everything?
All of this leads to a hilarious final moment that ties it all together. While The Cool Kids started off kind of slow, the show has really found its groove to be on the funniest on TV this season.
Tonight’s episode of The Cool Kids on Fox at 8:30p is the show’s best one yet. And there have been plenty of greats ones.
Sid’s (Leslie Jordan) ex-wife (Jennifer Coolidge) comes to visit him and to meet his new boyfriend John (Jere Burns). Is she bitter that he lied to her during all of those years they were married?
Then Margaret (Vicki Lawrence) and Charlie (Martin Mull) are all excited to see Fleetwood Mac, but Hank (David Alan Grier) has the keys to the van. He wants to go to Costco, and nothing will stop him. Therefore, if they agree to go to Costco with him, he will take them to the concert. But there are rules, so many rules. Good thing Charlie has a bag full of edible Gummy Bears. Now you know why I said this episode is highlarious!
Over on DC Universe, Doom Patrol is back with another super episode.
The episode starts out with Cliff (Brendan Fraser) still messed up after finding out what is up with his daughter now. Therefore, he is still very upset about that and that is making him crazy. Cyborg (Joivan Wade) decides to help him and holds a group therapy session with all of the Doom Patrol members.
What does therapy start with? Your childhood! In this episode, we get to see what they were all like as children and how it shaped them to become the adults that they are today. We also learn what year they were kids and that gives us more of a perspective of how old they are.
Not only that, they all have major breakthroughs. What and how it will change them? Well, you just have to watch and see in the best superhero show on television. This is not like all those other Marvel and DC shows, it is so much better.
Before Leslie Jordan preferred men on The Cool Kids, he loved women on Top of the Heap. How cute was the 38-year-old in that 1991 promo for the Married…with Children spinoff with a 24-year-old Pamela Anderson?

Before Leslie Jordan was one of The Cool Kids, his food choices were far from it so he felt cool when he went to Sizzler. How cute was the 33-year-old in that 1988 commercial?
He was not the only future star in this ad, did you spot a 6-year-old Jodie Sweetin?
Back to Jordan, he talked about how he got into acting, moved to Hollywood and started out doing commercials on Pickler and Ben yesterday. My favorite part comes at the end when he says how Betty White knew one of them was going to kill the other one Boston Public. That was such an epic moment on the show.
