For those who don’t mind settling for comfort food, Fox serves a 1970s TV dinner. “The Cool Kids” (8:30 p.m., TV-14) features veteran performers and a sitcom style that would not have been out of place during the Jimmy Carter era.
Hank (David Alan Grier, “In Living Color,” “The Carmichael Show”), Charlie (Martin Mull, “Fernwood 2 Night,” “Roseanne” and “Arrested Development”) and Sid (Leslie Jordan, “Will & Grace”) consider themselves the top dogs at a retirement home. After their unseen friend passes on, they fight like high schoolers to defend his empty seat at their table and yearn to give him a memorable send-off befitting his rebellious nature.
