The Goldbergs Season 1-2 General Discussion Thread (Spoilers)

The Goldbergs Season 1-2 General Discussion Thread (Spoilers)


The Goldbergs (2013) Premieres on ABC on September 24, 2013



Before there were parenting blogs, trophies for showing up, and peanut allergies, there was a simpler time called the ‘80s. For geeky 11-year old Adam (Sean Giambrone) these were his wonder years and he faced them armed with a video camera to capture all the crazy. The Goldbergs are a loving family like any other, just with a lot more yelling. Mom Beverly (Wendi McClendon-Covey) is a classic “smother;” an overbearing, overprotective matriarch who rules this brood with 100% authority and zero sense of boundaries. Dad Murray (Jeff Garlin) is gruff, hot-tempered and trying to parent without screaming. Sister Erica (Hayley Orrantia) is 17, hot, terrifying and not one to mess with. Barry (Troy Gentile) is 16, an overly emotional teen with severe middle child syndrome. Adam (Sam Giambrone) is the youngest, a camera-wielding future director who’s crushing on an older woman. Rounding out the family is beloved grandfather Al “Pops” Solomon (George Segal), the wild man of the clan, a shameless Don Juan who’s schooling Adam in the ways of love. When Pops buys a new sports car and offers his Caddy to middle child Barry, it’s enough to drive this already high-strung family to the brink of chaos.

The Goldbergs stars Wendi McLendon-Covey (Bridesmaids) as Beverly, Jeff Garlin (Curb Your Enthusiasm) as Murray, George Segal (Don’t Shoot Me) as Pops, Hayley Orrantia (The X Factor) as Erica, Sean Giambrone as Adam and Troy Gentile (Good Luck Chuck) as Barry.

The Goldbergs was written and executive produced by Adam F. Goldberg (Breaking In, Fanboys) and executive produced by Doug Robinson. The pilot was directed by Seth Gordon (Identity Thief, Horrible Bosses). The Goldbergs is from Adam Sandler’s production company Happy Madison and is produced by Sony Pictures Television.

1x01 The Circle of Driving (Pilot)

How embarrassing for Barry being given a locket with his mothers photo inside but you can understand why he thought he was getting a car and Adam fancying Zoe wasn't going well thanks to his mother

1x02 Daddy Daughter Day

Beverly shrinking the the clothes Adam got his Pops to buy after he was mortified by the new clothes that his mother had picked out for him was amusing and Beverly noticing Murray had starting to distance himself since Erica became a woman was interesting as he couldn't handle her problems

1x03 Mini Murray

The way Barry managed to sell the pink couch after being there for five years was impressive but Adam and Pops going to an R-rated movie without telling anyone was a bad idea but Beverly making the most of him being scared to get cuddles was priceless

The kids finding old love letters of their dads was amusing as they were to a former fiancee and to make things worse he gave them both the same ring but Adam asking Pops for romantic advice for a neighbour daughter was bizarre

Murray's brother Marvin giving him the money he owed was nice and having an ulterior motive came as no surprise to Murray but Beverly hinting they should be thanking her was amusing
