The Goldbergs is an American television sitcom that aired on ABC from September 24, 2013, to May 3, 2023, lasting ten seasons and 229 episodes. The series was created by Adam F. Goldberg and starred Jeff Garlin, Wendi McLendon-Covey, Sean Giambrone, Troy Gentile, and Hayley Orrantia.[3] The show is produced by Adam F. Goldberg, Seth Gordon and Doug Robinson.[4] It is based on Goldberg's childhood and family in the 1980s, with a childhood version of himself. On April 19, 2022, the series was renewed for a tenth season, which premiered on September 21, 2022.[5] On February 23, 2023, it was announced that the tenth season would be its final season.[6] The series finale aired on May 3, 2023. The series received positive reviews from critics.

Premise

The Goldbergs is set in a non-chronological representation of the 1980s in the Philadelphia suburb of Jenkintown, Pennsylvania, and shows the reality of the 1980s through a preadolescent's and, later in the series, teenager's eyes.[7] The show is loosely based on the showrunner's childhood, during which he regularly videotaped events. Many of these videos are reenacted for series episodes, with the original version then shown before the end credits.

The series stars Jeff Garlin as the father, Murray, and Wendi McLendon-Covey as the mother, Beverly. Their two older children are Erica (Hayley Orrantia) and Barry (Troy Gentile). The youngest child, Adam (Sean Giambrone), documents his family life with his video camera. Beverly's father, Albert "Pops" Solomon (George Segal), is frequently around to provide advice or to help out his grandchildren (often behind his daughter's back).

The present-day Adult Adam (Patton Oswalt) narrates every episode as taking place in "1980-something". The show's episodes are frequently built around the era's pop culture in a non-chronological order, and each season contains references from throughout the decade.

Many references to real-life Philadelphia-area businesses are made, including the Wawa convenience store chain, Gimbels department store, Willow Grove Park Mall, and Kremp's Florist of Willow Grove, Pennsylvania. Additionally, several 1980s cultural icons guest star as themselves on the show and a number of figures from Goldberg's actual life guest star as fictional characters or their own parents.

The series is an example of 1980s nostalgia.[8]

Production

Casting

The project originally received a script commitment from Fox in August 2011. After Adam Goldberg's previous show, Breaking In, was canceled, he did not want to wait for another pilot season to arrive and moved it to ABC, who agreed to produce it immediately.[34][35] When the project first landed at ABC, the title of the show was to be How the F--- Am I Normal?,[36] before being revised to How the Hell Am I Normal? in early 2013.[37] The final title of the show was first announced by ABC in April 2013.[38]

On January 11, 2013, Wendi McLendon-Covey was cast as the pilot's lead;[39] later, Jeff Garlin and George Segal joined the cast.[40][41]

George Segal died during the airing of season 8. The April 7, 2021, episode, "Couple Off", which was Segal's last, ended with a 48-second video tribute to the actor, who had died fifteen days earlier due to complications from bypass surgery.[42][43][44]

In December 2021, during the airing of season 9, it was announced that Garlin would not return to the show after multiple misconduct allegations and HR investigations. His departure was announced as a mutual decision.[45] For the remainder of the season his character continued to appear on the show, portrayed via the use of outtakes, a stand-in, and CGI.[46][47] In August 2022, it was revealed that his character was killed off off-screen, prior to the events of the 10th season.[15]

Filming

The pilot episode was directed by Seth Gordon. On May 10, 2013, ABC picked up the show to series to air in the 2013–14 American television season.[48] It was later picked up for a full season order on November 1, 2013.[49] The show is filmed on a series of stages at Sony Pictures Studios. In March 2020, Sony suspended production due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[50] Sony ultimately resumed production in August 2020. Production was again suspended briefly during January 2021 due to the pandemic.[51][52][53]

Music

The show's theme song, "Rewind", was written at Goldberg's request by I Fight Dragons, his favorite band, specifically for the show.[54] A soundtrack, featuring songs performed on the show by the cast members, was released on December 6, 2017.[55]

Reception

Critical reception

The Goldbergs first season received mixed reviews, averaging a score of 52% on Metacritic based on reviews from 26 critics.[56] On Rotten Tomatoes, season 1 has an approval rating of 55% based on reviews from 42 critics.[57]

Tim Goodman of The Hollywood Reporter called it "one of the rare freshman comedies to deliver", giving credit to the show's "outstanding writing" and "strong cast".[58] David Wiegand of the San Francisco Chronicle wrote, "you'll immediately like everyone in the family and the jokes derive from credible situations".[59]

Hank Stuever of The Washington Post said the show was "obnoxiously loud".[60] David Hinckley of The New York Daily News said the show is "just awful".[61] Tierney Bricker of E! News gave a more positive review, saying that the show is "like Modern Family mixed with A Christmas Story".[62]

The Goldbergs was included in TV Guide's 2013 Top Twenty "Best Shows of the Year",[63] along with The Hollywood Reporter[64] and Today.[65] In addition, SpoilerTV awarded The Goldbergs with the honor of Best Comedy of 2013–2014.[66]

The second season had a Rotten Tomatoes score of 100% based on reviews from 5 critics.[67] The show continued to be well-received, with Marc Snetiker of Entertainment Weekly calling the season two premiere "the best of any family comedy on TV in the way it eschews dysfunction for its more appropriate, real-world term: love".[68]

After the series was renewed for season 3, ABC network chief Paul Lee stated that both he and ABC believed that the show will be around for "a long time".[69]

Spin-off

In November 2016, it was first reported that ABC was developing a spin-off that would center around recurring character Rick Mellor, played by Bryan Callen.[110] On January 10, 2017, Wendi McClendon-Covey's character was reported as appearing in the script in a guest appearance.[111] The script was ordered to pilot on February 2, 2017.[112]

On March 16, 2017, it was confirmed that Nia Long had been cast as the female lead in the role of Lucy Winston. At the same time, it was confirmed that Tim Meadows would reprise his recurring role from The Goldbergs as Andre Glascott. Jay Chandrasekhar was also confirmed to direct.[113]

On May 17, 2017, ABC passed on the spin-off,[114] despite it reportedly testing very well – going as far to test better than the pilot of the original series.[115] At the same time, Adam F. Goldberg revealed the title of the failed spin-off Schooled.[116]

On January 8, 2018, it was announced that the pilot would air as a special episode of The Goldbergs on January 24, 2018, under the episode title The Goldbergs: 1990-Something. Along with Nia Long as Lucy Winston and Tim Meadows as teacher-turned-principal Andre Glascott (who is also revealed to be Lucy's brother), the pilot also starred Rachel Crow as Lucy's rebellious teenage daughter Felicia, and Summer Parker as Felicia's bubbly younger sister Gigi, with Octavia Spencer narrating as the present-day Felicia.

After the pilot aired, Goldberg had expressed hope that the airing would prompt discussions with ABC that could lead to the series being picked up for the 2018–19 TV season.[115] Three months later, on April 16, 2018, it was announced that ABC had officially picked up the spin-off, Schooled, for a 13-episode season slated to air in 2019. It was also announced that AJ Michalka would reprise her role as Lainey Lewis from The Goldbergs in the new show, but Nia Long will not return to the spin-off due to being a regular cast member on the CBS drama series NCIS: Los Angeles.[117] In May 2020, the series was canceled after two seasons.[118]

Canon status

Series creator Adam F. Goldberg departed after season 6 and publicly stated that seasons 7–10 are not considered canon to his original vision.[119] These later seasons were produced without his creative involvement and diverge from the show's intended autobiographical tone. After Goldberg was not consulted on the series finale, he later wrote the canon finale in comic book form. In Goldberg's comic, published by American Mythology, his family is killed by Victor Crowley to ensure that the new showrunners could never write a reboot or sequel to the show.

Notes

  1. Credited as Sony Pictures Television in seasons 1–6.
  2. Although George Segal appears as a series regular from season 1 episode 1 through season 8 episode 16, he is still credited through the season finale.
