David Allen Grier is usually great, but here he is just shouting all the time about having a rave for his dead friend. Leslie Jordan is pathetic as a very unfunny gay stereotype. He takes LGBT back to the 1950s with his horrible cliche performance. Martin Mull has never been funny, in my opinion. He was the straight man to funny people on other shows. In Cool Kids, there is no need for a straight man, since nobody is funny.
Vicki Lawrence is an appealing person, but she puts too much of her obnoxious "Mama" personality into this new character. When Vicki Lawrence decides to sit in the chair where the dead friend of the other guys used to sit, all hell breaks loose. Why? Mostly due to horrible writing.
David Allen Grier, Leslie Jordan, and Martin Mull go on a vendetta against Vicki Lawrence, even though they have never spoken to her. It is really awful dialogue, a really dumb plot, and there is nothing funny about the pilot. I made it through about twenty minutes, and I had to give up.
It seems like everyone on this show was told to shout loud and over act badly. I guess that is supposed to make up for the lack of any comedy, jokes, or funny moments.
