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.

Will Harris AV Club 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. Rated: B+ Sep 24, 2015 Full Review Mark Trammell TV Equals 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. Sep 24, 2015 Full Review Read all reviews

Tyler K Still kind of the same stuff but still really fun 8/10 Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/18/22 Full Review Tim Season 3 continues where the first 2 seasons left off. This is just such a fun family show. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/23/22 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member This show never gets boring and Wendi McLendon-Covey continues to shine in this roll. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review nicole p Love it, always fun to watch! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Such an excellent show!!
