Now it’s kicking off its new Friday schedule with the return of “Last Man Standing” (7 p.m., Ch. 13) — a 7-year-old show that stars 65-year-old Tim Allen as a guy who (metaphorically, at least) tells whippersnappers to get off his lawn.
Fox follows that with the new sitcom “The Cool Kids” (7:30 p.m., Ch. 13), which stars David Alan Grier, 62; Leslie Jordan, 63; Vicki Lawrence, 69; and Martin Mull, 75, as residents of a senior citizens' home. And the first three are clearly playing older than their actual ages.
To be clear, there's nothing wrong with “older” folks starring in TV shows.
