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.

Matthew Poland Slant Magazine The Goldbergs seems primed to capitalize on its strengths, namely a terrific cast and snappy writing that exudes warmth while eschewing treacle. Rated: 3/4 Nov 5, 2014 Full Review Marc Snetiker Entertainment Weekly The show is the best of any family comedy on TV in the way it eschews dysfunction for its more appropriate, real-world term: love. Oct 3, 2014 Full Review Will Harris AV Club It's easy to enter season two with a sense of hopefulness. Rated: A- Sep 25, 2014 Full Review Mark Rozeman Paste Magazine Yes, The Goldbergs are back and they're as loud, as crass and as unapologetic about their emotions as ever. And, frankly, I wouldn't have it any other way. Rated: 8/10 Sep 25, 2014 Full Review Samantha McAllister TV Fanatic They [the writing team] are proving to all of the other returning comedies that the alleged sophomore slump can be avoided when you put your mind to it and craft a well rounded episode. Rated: 5/5 Sep 25, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews
