When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

A middle class family set in the '80s. Ah, what a breath of fresh air! "The Goldbergs" is one of my favorite sitcoms to this day. It's a great show to watch with your family or on your own. Though it's not entirely original in the sense that a lot of the episodes are remakes of social trends in the '80s, it's great for the purpose of nostalgia and for the sake of laughing until you cry. The best part is that this show is based off the real lives of The Goldberg family, which leads me to another thing that I love about "The Goldbergs" . . . the old home footage! I love these little snippets they show at the end of each episode. It's cool to think the shenanigans and nonsensical fun actions we watch on the television were things that actually happened within the Goldberg family in the '80s!I absolutely love Beverly and her overprotective mom personality. She's definitely a stand-out, as is Adam, as it's all in his perspective . . . But, now that I speak of characters, I have come to realize that I really love all the characters! They all have BIG and special personalities. If you don't love one, there's certainly another for you to love!The later seasons are certainly losing their magic touch, but it's still worth a watch. The biggest problem is that some of the recent episodes feel a little derivative and formulaic (i.e., someone argues over something, they make up, they move on). The show started on the complete other end of the spectrum (in that it wasn't tediously formulaic), which was something that I especially enjoyed about the show, because when it started, it had ambition that was reminiscent of community. Needless to say that I will continue watching until the show concludes, because here, the good far outweighs the bad.I really hope that more people can discover this show for the gem that it is. I find it underwatched and underrated. It deserves more praise, and I know as a fact that I am not the only one who thinks so! :o)Even those who did not grow up in the '80s can find something to enjoy in this series. However, I will say, I think for those who did grow up in the era, this show will bring them back to their childhood, and I think they will love that. Watching it for the sake of nostalgia could be fun enough! In short, this is a cute show with various '80s references. The family is cute and they'll make you laugh. It's colores, it's dynamic, and it's touching. There is a lot to love!Don't let me speak for you, though! Give the show a try for yourself! Seriously, if you're not watching yet, what are you waiting for?! :o)I give "The Goldbergs" an 8.3/10.

I've given this show a chance watching several reruns. No character catches my attention enough to keep me watching. All they do is yell and the outfits are exaggerated. The wig on the mom is too much. Kid's voice is annoying. Older brother is super annoying. Only good thing is when they showcase products or popular culture from the era. Doesn't warrant the reviews being so high. People are easily entertained I guess.

The Goldbergs are actually based on the memories and experiences of Gary Goldberg. He grew up in the eighties in suburban Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The cast is terrific with George Segal playing the grandfather. Wendi McClendon-Lovey and Jeff Garlin as the parents. The show has become a hit series on the network's Wednesday night family sitcoms along with "The Middle" and "Modern Family." I have seen some episodes and it has a good sense of humor and nostalgia for a decade. The eighties were a lot of fun to live through. The show makes plenty of use about life in the eighties. The decade was full of excesses and perhaps too much of it. The best part of the decade was MTV. The music, clothes and cars remind me of simpler times.
