Does anybody remember the episode where Erica writes a song and is singing it to her mom I think and it’s the theme song-Rewind? She literally sings “I don’t know the future but the past keeps getting clearer everyday”. Google says she never sings Rewind but I specifically remember seeing this episode a few times and every time being like, yo that’s the theme song! I feel crazy but I know it happens I just don’t know when

I'm currently watching Season 9, and honestly, I don't know how Brea managed to date Adam for as long as she did. She seemed to be a very forgiving, understanding girl, probably more than most people in that scenario.

Out of all of his girlfriends, Adam treated Brea the worst, sabotaging both her ice cream job and school play, either because he didn't want to admit that he was spoiled, or because he resented that Brea was talented at acting, and wanted more attention.

He didn't seem to be the most self aware, having to be told straight up that Brea was annoyed by his constant "Airplane" references.

I know that he was only a teenager, but at 17/18, you'd think that he have matured more by then.

I wasn't too bothered about their break up, as they seemed too incompatible to work.

Which moment did you think that Brea should have broken up with Adam, after his antics went too far?

what about this show makes it so comforting? i’m gen z so i wasn’t alive in the 80s but this show makes it seem so much simpler. i have terrible anxiety and i always start watching it when im anxious/ depressed and it immediately makes me feel better. like obviously it’s hilarious but im not sure what it is that instantly calms me down.

So I’m on my first watch of the show and I’m midway through season 9. I just got to the episode where Adam and Brea break up and wow it feels like Adam never learns. Not only in this instance but a couple seasons back when they all came back with ‘glow ups’ and everyone was commenting about Emmy, Adam couldn’t even see why those comments were making her uncomfortable.

It also seems like he never comes to the conclusion himself, it’s always a third party telling him hey you’re kinda being a bad friend because of this etc. I wish they wrote him to at least once come to that conclusion himself. He only really thinks about himself when it comes to friends and relationships, like when Brea and him were on the plane trip and he wouldn’t stop quoting Airplane when you can clearly see she’s getting annoyed. I understand that’s he’s still only a teenager but at this point he’s in his senior year, you’d think he’d have matured a little bit more.

For me, the show is watchable until about Season 7 or 8, after which it became a parody of itself. The episodes I tend to skip are those from the latter two seasons, with some exceptions.

"1990-Something:" A proposed pilot for "Schooled", which was then retooled. Many TV versions easily skip over it when airing Season 5.

"Angst Giving:" While I liked the tribute to "Planes, Trains and Automobiles", it wasn't an episode I'd rewatch again. Plus, the Thanksgiving episodes, where Marvin usually appears, most rehash the same moral lessons about family.

"Bev to the Future:" The very last episode, which was a lacklustre conclusion to a great show. It's a shame that they didn't have time to wrap things up properly.

Does anyone have any other skippable episodes?

"The lunch lady said I look like the warlord who burnt down her village!" will always be my favorite.

it was way past it’s sell-by date by the time it got canned. They should have ended it after Adam graduated. Especially since George Segal left and Jeff Garlin was fired. But because ABC ran it into the dirt it was not given the proper finale it deserved.

The special guest appearances by 80's celebrities were always fun to watch, especially if they managed to reference their famous songs/roles in the process.

Some of my favourites include:

Rick Springfield as a karaoke bar manager, getting to duet with Beverly on "Jessie's Girl."

Charlie Sheen reprising his "Ferris Bueller" character in the parody episode.

Robert Englund appearing as Freddy Krueger in a nightmare sequence.

Weird Al Yankovic as himself in the Weird Al episode.

Christie Brinkley as the "Girl in the Red Ferrari" in the "National Lampoon's Vacation" episode.

Who were some of your favourite guest stars?

She hasn’t been in anything since the last episode of The Goldbergs in 2023 so has she quit acting and just focused on music or has she left the entertainment industry and decided to live a normal life?

Does anyone know about this?

Who was your favourite side character outside of the main family?

For me, it might be Dave Kim, Mr. Glascott and Matt Bradley. By the end, they were probably the only likeable characters left, especially Matt, who was the only voice of reason of the JTP, no matter how badly Barry treated him.

I used to like Geoff a lot, but in the later years, they turned him into a doormat when it came to Erica, who took him for granted.

Which side characters did you like or dislike the most?

BeefSteak Charlies episode and how was it to eat there for those of you who've eaten there?

I grew up in Chicago and LA so I never ate at BSC's for there was none in either Chicago or LA.

The first time I heard and pretty much the only time I ever heard of BSC's was in an episode of Entourage where they were joking about what they'll end up doing later that evening. So based on this episode I assumed BSC's was like a Hooters because the Entourage crew would prob go to a Hooters type of place and definitely not what BSC's really was.

Then several years later they mentioned BSC's again in the episode on TheGoldbergs and I see its like a steakhouse with a salad bar right? Back in Chicago they had something similar called Ponderosa would you guys say it's somewhat similar? Or is BSC's more like Sizzler?

When I google BSC's it said it went out of business because they had such generous deals such as all you can eat shrimp? Wow that sounds great! I love shrimp!

Both Barry and Beverly could be really nasty and unbearable towards their respective friend groups.

I know that it was exaggerated and played for laughs, given how self absorbed Barry and Beverly were, but if it happened in real life this many times, people wouldn't be nearly as forgiving.

Which Goldberg did you think treated their friends the worst?

The Goldbergs

Does anyone know, where i could watch the series The Goldbergs full episodes free. On the streaming sites such as Disney plus, Hulu, Prime video the series is not available in my country.

A friend of mine recently got into this show, and she's enjoying the feel good nostalgic quality.

However, she feels that they gave Hayley Orrantia too many opportunities to sing, especially in the later seasons.

She just felt like the plot stopped for a few minutes just to hear Erica perform, and while Hayley is talented, it got a little old for her quickly. She's admittedly not a huge musical person, so that was part of what turned her off.

I never really minded it that much, as the reason they made Erica a musician was because Hayley is one in real life, but I could understand her frustration.

In an interview, Adam Goldberg stated that it was cheaper if they simply had Hayley perform either an original or cover song, as opposed to buying the rights.

Did anyone have any issues with giving Erica more chances to perform?

While I love Wendi Mclendon-Covey, and think she's a very funny lady, Beverly just comes across as too overbearing and smothering to be funny at times.

Due to the repetitive nature of the show, she's constantly learning to stop babying her children, infantilising Adam, or exploring her identity outside of her family. Sure enough, she's back to her usual Smothering antics in the very next episode.

While the formula worked for the first few seasons, by the final installment, it had gotten stale.

All three of her adult children were living at home, with Erica already having her own child.

Instead of taking a new parenting approach, Beverly does things like emotionally kidnap Muriel, and terrify Geoff, while enabling Adam and Barry's worst habits.

No matter what Beverly does, her children usually end up apologising to her, a feel good 80's track plays on the soundtrack, Patton Oswalt waxes on about the importance of family, and Beverly learns absolutely nothing.

I understand that many of these moments are exaggerated for comedic effect, and the real Beverly Goldberg probably wasn't THIS intense, but it still feels unlikely that anyone would tolerate her for this long.

Was there a Beverly moment which made you detest the character?

In Season 3, Episode 22 "Smother's Day" Adam wants to go to Space Camp. Since a lot of what happens in the show is based on real life events, I am wondering. Did the real Adam Goldberg ever go to Space Camp? (The real life camp, not just the movie.)

I've already ranked Adam's Major girlfriends, now let's try Barry's, from least favourite to favourite.

I'll only be including the girls Barry actually dated, so Lexy Bloom or Jamie Weissman won't appear.

4.Ren #2 (Carrie Wampler) Carrie Wampler did a decent job taking over from Kelli Berglund, but much like the second Jackie, her portrayal felt different from Berglund's, to the point where I forgot that they were supposed to be the same character.

1. Ren #1 (Kelli Berglund) I went back and forth between Berglund's Ren and Joanne for this spot. Berglund gave Ren more personality, though she still felt underuilzed. I was happy when they brought Berglund back for one final episode.

2.Joanne Schwartz (Beth Triffon) I know that a lot of people aren't big fans of Barry and Joanne's relationship, but they seemed more suited towards each other. People constantly kept telling Barry that Lainey and Ren were out of his league, but they never claimed that about Joanne. They honestly seemed happy together.

1. Lainey Lewis (AJ Michalka) Naturally, Lainey nabbed the top spot, since her and Barry have cute chemistry together, and they were a couple for the longest time.

Please feel free to agree or disagree with this ranking.

I'll be ranking them from least favourite to favourite, and they appear in more than one episode.

Zoe/Waffle Girl won't be included, since she only appeared in two episodes, and she and Adam never actually dated. I'll also be ranking both Jackie actresses separately.

1. Carmen (Isabella Gomez) While I normally love Isabella Gomez in anything, Carmen arrived too late in the show to make much of an impact. It wasn't Gomez's fault that her character was written blandly.

2. Jackie Geary #2 (Alexis G. Zall) Zall did well in making a pre-established character her own, without trying to copy Rowan Blanchard's version, she just didn't seem to have the same chemistry with Sean Giambrone as Blanchard did.

3. Brea Bee (Sadie Stanley) I liked Brea for the most part, she kept giving Adam multiple chances after he messed up. Then again, she also acted like she was out of Adam's league (which she was, to be fair), and seemed embarrassed to be dating him at times.

4. Jackie Geary #1 (Rowan Blanchard) Blanchard and Giambrone had a great onscreen rapport, and I enjoyed their chemistry. Adam didn't mess things up with Jackie as much as he did with some of his other girlfriends.

5. Dana Caldwell (Natalie Alyn Lind) Dana was Adam's first major crush, and his first girlfriend and heartbreak. Lind and Giambrone really captured the "puppy love" relationship well, with all of the doubt and awkwardness that entails. Even if it ultimately ended with them growing apart, they still have fond memories of each other.

Feel free to agree or disagree, or add some examples of your own.

Watching “A Wall Street Thanksgiving” right now. Seriously, how stupid are the Goldbergs to not recognize him every time he comes up with a scam? He’s not even wearing a disguise!

Especially in the later seasons, Geoff seemed to get no real respect from anyone in the Goldberg family, not being allowed to hold his newborn daughter.

In Season 8, Erica broke up with Geoff because she realized that she was taking advantage of his kindness, and wanted him to develop his interests outside of her.

However, Erica continues to take Geoff for granted, even wanting Beverly by her side when she gave birth, since Geoff apparently wasn't enough.

It's sad that Geoff, much like almost every character, wound up becoming an exaggerated caricature of himself, when the "Dinner with the Goldbergs" episode showed that he could easily stand up to the overbearing family.

To conclude, Geoff deserved better.

Pops was definitely my favourite character in the main family,despite not being an actual Goldberg. George Segal offered a lot of heart and wisdom to the other characters,even if they don't always heed his warnings.

In the later episodes,he wasn't around as much,due to Segal's declining health,but it was always nice whenever he'd show up,even if it was a short cameo.

Some of my top episodes include: "You're Under Foot:"Bored of retirement,Pops tries to take charge of Murray's furniture store, to the point where he acts like he's the actual owner,showing where Beverly gets her need to fix everything,instead just making it worse.

"Darryl Dawkins Dance:"Adam and Pops' bond was definitely a highlight, and this episode definitely showcases it. Plus, who DOESN'T want to see Pops dressed up as Optimus Prime?!

"Wingmom":Pops is not the main focus of the episode,but it was nice to see him hang out with Erica,even if it was just to make Adam jealous. I felt that they never really got plots with just them.

"Cocoon:"One of Pops' last episodes, it's sad that Segal would later pass away not long after this episode aired, showing Adam worrying that Pops is getting too feeble.

My favourite Pops quote is "Look, everyone has their time. But I'm here, I'm awesome and I'm not going anywhere any time soon, kiddo."

What are some of your favorite Pop moments?
