This show is very unique because it is one of the few shows that focuses on elderly people as its main characters. When's the last time you can think of that that happened? 'Golden Girls?' If 'Golden Girls' is the expectation with 'The Cool Kids,' then we can expect something incredibly funny and timeless. That being said, if you're not into watching older people be funny, you may not connect with this. The same way that an elderly person may not be interested in watching 'The Hills.'
The show is produced by Charlie Day of 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia' fame, so I'm confident it will be funny. Plus it has comedy legend David Alan Grier as one of its stars. The other starts include Leslie Jordan, Martin Mull, and Vicki Lawrence, so the entire case is very good.
