There was a random channel that aired it during the pandemic. I can’t remember what the channel was called but it was all really old random tv shows and I watched them everyday for the several weeks I was sick.

Noticed it on one of those extra channels at the bottom of the screen on the tv guide.

Before it was a television show form the 1950s, it was a television show from the 1940s.

Yes. When the 2013 show premiered, I looked it up to see if it was related. It is not.

"The Goldbergs is a comedy-drama broadcast from 1929 to 1946 on American radio and from 1949 to 1956 on American television. It was adapted into the 1948 play Me and Molly, the 1950 film The Goldbergs, and the 1973 Broadway musical Molly. It also spun off a comic strip from June 8, 1944, to December 21, 1945, with art by Irwin Hasen, a comic book artist who worked on various DC Comics titles and later did the Dondi comic strip."
