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.

Tyler K ………………………………..8/10……. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Tim Season 4 added a little too much quark, but the show is still amazing and a must watch. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/23/22 Full Review brendan n The show is still fun to watch, but the subplots are growing a little tiresome. Not a giant fan of the Erica and Geoff plot device. Comparing to the previous years, this season is a little flat in the story department. 29/08/2019 Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Still riding on the success of recreating nostalgic '80s moments, S4 of "The Goldbergs" seems to have sharpen their script to offer much funnier moments and some ridiculous gags. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member This show is still entertaining and Wendi McLendon-Covey still is hilarious. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member one of my favorite shows Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
