The Goldbergs
Picture perfect.
Created by Adam F. Goldberg
On ABC
A warm, affectionate family sitcom built on 1980s nostalgia and the loving chaos of a close-knit household, structured around home video memories and domestic comedy.
Before there were parenting blogs, trophies for showing up, and peanut allergies, there was a simpler time called the '80s. For geeky 11-year old Adam these were his wonder years and he faced them armed with a video camera to capture all the crazy. The Goldbergs are a loving family like any other, just with a lot more yelling.
