The Goldbergs (2013 — 2023)
The Goldbergs (2013–2023), airing on ABC from 2013 to 2023, is an American period sitcom that transports viewers to an alternate version of the 1980s in Jenkintown, Pennsylvania. Through the eyes of a preadolescent and later a teenager, the show portrays the reality of this iconic decade. Inspired by the showrunner’s own childhood, where he frequently filmed family events, many scenes are reenacted with original footage shown during the end credits. The series features Jeff Garlin as Murray and Wendi McLendon-Covey as Beverly, parents to Erica, Barry, and Adam who documents their lives on his video camera. Providing advice and support to his grandchildren is Beverly’s father, Albert ‘Pops’ Solomon.
The current Adult Adam serves as the narrator for each episode, referring to the time period as ‘1980-something’. Within the show’s non-linear structure, frequent references to popular culture of the era are incorporated and spread throughout each season. Several notable businesses from the Philadelphia area, such as Wawa, Gimbels, Willow Grove Park Mall, and Kremp’s Florist of Willow Grove, Pennsylvania, are included. In addition to these, various 1980s icons make appearances as themselves and personal connections from Goldberg’s life appear as fictional characters or their own parents.
