Watchseries; My husband and I are "kids of the 80's" and we freaking love The Goldbergs!! It's great to see the outfits, hear the music, etc... What a great time that was. I can relate to Adam a little, my dad also sat around in his underwear!!! I will admit that we weren't too sure about the show after the first episode, but we decided to keep going and are very happy that we did!! These people hating on the show can easily remedy their problem by CHANGING THE CHANNEL!! I don't get the hateful comments, if you don't like it just say that. You don't have to go postal and just be really nasty. I hope they come back with a 2nd and 3rd season of this show. Adam is my favorite, that kid is too funny! Go Goldbergs!!!

The Goldbergs watchseries. This was written at almost the end of the first season. I can't speak for more than that. But so far, It's really, really funny.
If you did not experience the 80s, you may not 'get it.' But if you are old enough to remember the 80s at all, this show is hysterical. It's pretty funny anyway, but being a part of that decade and remembering everything that this show has gotten so RIGHT makes it extra special.
It's not 100% dead-on as far as a perfectly written, directed or acted show goes, but there are so many moments during every episode that I laugh out loud, due to something the perfect cast does to bring back such great memories. There are some things that will vary from this family and yours. If you want it to mimic your family, go make your own show. But this family is FUNNY. It's obviously a very 'Jewish' type family, and my family is not. That is the only part I can't relate with. But everything from the clothes, the games, the toys, the furniture, the chords on the big phones, the electronic gadgets we though were 'sooo coool,' the cars and the movie references - - and so many other things -- are all so endearing. The way they twist these things into a funny dialogue is great.
You can't help but try and remember yourself or one of your family members doing something very close to what the characters are doing. Every episode I find myself saying, "I remember when I did that," or "My Dad said that same thing!" Although my Dad did leave his pants on. Sometimes I'm remembering myself as the little kid, other times I'm the older brother. What good times.
I sincerely hope this show sticks around because I'll watch them all. If you are a child of the 80s or if you raised children during them, you'll dig this show.

I came to this show because of Jeff Garlin from Curb.
And I thought a show like the wonder years but closer to my decade would be awesome.
And I enjoyed it.
It is not the most hilarious show ever.
I definitely had a few laugh out loud moments. But its not just that. This show is something nice to watch without having violence or disturbing themes like many shows today.
This is one of those shows that can give you a break from shows like the walking dead, which are awesome, but can sometimes do your head in.
The 80's references don't annoy me like they have other viewers because I grew up in the 90s. And that is why I think they have so many, because it is not made just for people who were there.
I think people who grew up in the 80s enjoy this show the least.
But everyone should give it a go.
I am glad I did.

The pace is frenetic yet nothing really happens. The characters' singular mode of expression is shouting at each other. I don't think this "comedy" mirrors the 1980s or any other era in American history. It's just one gag after another after another and ultimately comes across as a gigantic series of non sequiturs. It's AWFUL. I almost never write reviews on IMDb but I felt compelled to write this one. The really horrible thing is that The Goldbergs is now going to be on nightly for the foreseeable future on TVLand. I'd much rather they put on a really old series like My Three Sons or Ozzie and Harriet. Anything is better than this junk.

I loved this show when it began: lots of fun memories brought back if my childhood in the 80s. Now, however, we have to suffer through Beverly smothering Adam in EVERY episode. I love the actors and wish the writers would give them something to do. It's too formulaic: Adam does something stupid, Beverly interferes, Murray acts like he doesn't care, Adam realizes his Mom was just doing her best, Beverly and Adam learn their lessons. Such a great run up until season 6. Time to stick a fork in it. This show is done.

I haven't seen a single commercial for this show, but I recognized the mom from Reno 911 and figured I would give it a shot. It's actually pretty good. Having grown up in suburban Philly in the 80's, they have pretty much nailed a typical Northeast Philly suburb. The writing is good, and the plot is fun to follow. I think you will really enjoy this show if you like smart, funny comedies you can relate to. The clothes are dead on for 1985. The house is exactly like every house I ever went into in our neighborhood, and just as tacky. The family dynamic is very familiar, and accurately represents a typical Philly family. I urge you to give this show a chance. You will more than likely see a lot of your own family in these characters.
