THE COOL KIDS: Fox Orders a Full First Season

Fox has ordered nine additional episodes of THE COOL KIDS, bringing its freshman year order up to a full 22 installments.

“Charlie Day has given us a show that delivers the goods – hilarious stories and impeccable timing and chemistry between its stars, David Alan Grier, Vicki Lawrence, Martin Mull and Leslie Jordan,” said Michael Thorn, President, Entertainment, Fox Broadcasting Company, in a statement. “On top of that, it has the perfect lead-in with Tim Allen and LAST MAN STANDING. THE COOL KIDS…are just that…and we’re thrilled they’re going to be on FOX for a full season.”

Per Fox, “On September 28, driven by LAST MAN STANDING and THE COOL KIDS, FOX posted its most-watched Friday with entertainment in a decade. LAST MAN STANDING (2.7/15 Live + 7 Day, 13.4 million multi-platform viewers to-date) was the most-watched Friday regular comedy telecast on any network in 15 years, as well as FOX’s most-watched Friday entertainment telecast in nearly 18 years and most-watched comedy on any night in four and half years. Leading out of LAST MAN STANDING, THE COOL KIDS scored a 2.1/11 L7 in the key Adult 18-49 demographic, drawing 10.2 million multi-platform viewers to-date, making it broadcast’s most-watched Friday comedy debut in almost six years. LAST MAN STANDING and THE COOL KIDS were Friday’s Top Two shows and the only series to post at least a 2.0 L7 for the night. In week two, FOX again ranked as Friday’s #1 network, with LAST MAN STANDING (2.0/11 L7 and 10.0 million multi-platform viewers to-date) and THE COOL KIDS (1.5/7 L7, 7.3 million multi-platform viewers to-date) ranking as the night’s Top Two entertainment programs, followed by FOX’s HELL’S KITCHEN (#3-tie). In their telecasts on Friday, October 12, LAST MAN STANDING and THE COOL KIDS again drove FOX to rank #1 on the night for the third consecutive week.”
