In the 1980s, geeky Adam uses a video camera to document his family's crazy life. His mother, Beverly, is overprotective and lacks boundaries, while his dad has a hot temper and finds it difficult to parent without screaming. Rounding out the clan are Adam's terrifying sister, Erica; his older brother, Barry, who has middle-child syndrome; and the family's beloved grandfather, Al "Pops" Solomon. Pops is responsible for wild antics, including offering drinks to Barry and teaching Adam about the ways of love -- which create more chaos in an already high-strung family.

We've all heard the clich about how the more things change, the more they say the same, but The Goldbergs managed to kick off its third season with things both changing and staying the same. Go to Full Review Mark Trammell TV Equals 09/24/2015
It's because of this level of clever writing that the show is able to get away with the fact that it's basically just recycling plots from old 80's movies more often than not. What it lacks in originality, it makes up for in funny. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

This is just such a fun family show. See more 02/10/2019 S3 is more of the same from the dysfunctional Goldberg family and because of the cleverly funny writing, the show's lack of originality can be overlooked as it just recreates moments from famous television shows and films from the 1980s. See more 10/22/2017 This show never gets boring and Wendi McLendon-Covey continues to shine in this roll. See more nicole p @NPalmer05 07/29/2016 Love it, always fun to watch!
