Funny is funny. I don't give a damn if it is White people or Black people. If it is funny, it is funny. I put many of you on to HIMYM before some of you were hit. I put a lot of you onto Happy Endings, and y'all laughed your asses off and mourned with me when ABC (BITCHES!) cancelled it.

Now there is The Goldbergs. I thought it was going to be like That 80's Show, so I didn't tune in. Yesterday on Christmas, I am over my fam's house and brother pops in 7 episodes from his DVR and we all laughed our asses off. It IS on ABC, and typically I don't get onto a new show because they cancel them just as you get hip to them, but I broke my vow this year for Almost Human and now The Goldbergs.

The show centers around a Jewish family where the boy, around 11, records everything and his overprotective mother, laid back father, dumb older brother and cute older sister, where the 11 year old is the smartest one in the family.

It really works. It you grew up in the 80's then you will dig the references, but even if you didn't you will find it funny as hell. Trust me. With the older sister being 17 or 18, and the older brother being 16 I don't know how they can make it last long, but while it is on you have to watch it. You'll love it.

Godofwine approves this message.

When I think bad acting I think of people not knowing their cues, mouthing lines, not knowing when/where they are supposed to be, waiting on their cues like a girl playing double dutch and I don't see any of those in this show.

What do you mean bad acting? I'm about to watch episode 1 & 2 now.
 
The show has a Pre-intro AND a post credit funny clip. Classic. (set your direcTv DVR for 2 minutes past so you don't miss it.
 
Show is weak af. A bunch of Jews and no Black folk. The mother is the antithesis of Black moms. It's an 80's version of Seinfield. Aside from a few vague 80's references, I cant relate.
 
I fell off from watching it after season 2. It was relatable as an 80s baby but I got busy and it fell.to the wayside

Jeff Garlin reveals bipolar disorder diagnosis following Goldbergs departure: 'I'm doing the best I can'

The actor exited the ABC sitcom last December.

Jeff Garlin has revealed that he has bipolar disorder in the wake of his controversial departure from The Goldbergs.
The actor shared the news on Instagram on Wednesday, the season 10 premiere date of the ABC sitcom he departed following an HR investigation over complaints about his on-set behavior. "Bipolar is a motherf---er," Garlin wrote. "Sometimes it's just too much to deal with. I'm doing the best I can. This the first time that I've opened up about this."
Garlin, who portrayed Goldberg patriarch Murray since the sitcom's 2013 debut, exited the series in the midst of its ninth season in December 2021. It came after he was accused of perpetuating a toxic workplace environment in the form of alleged verbal and physical conduct that made staff uncomfortable, among other accusations. EW previously reported that the decision for Garlin to leave was a mutual one.


He addressed the allegations in an interview with Vanity Fair last year, noting that reports that he was fired were untrue. "My opinion is, I have my process about how I'm funny, in terms of the scene and what I have to do," Garlin said. "They feel that it makes for a quote 'unsafe' workspace. Now, mind you, my silliness making an unsafe workspace — I don't understand how that is. And I'm on a comedy show. I am always a kind and thoughtful person."
"I make mistakes, sure. But my comedy is about easing people's pain," he said. "Why would I ever want to cause pain in anybody for a laugh? That's bullying. That's just uncalled for."

The show starring Wendi McLendon-Covey, Sean Giambrone, Troy Gentile, and Hayley Orrantia returned to airwaves Wednesday, revealing that Murray had died. How the patriarch died has not yet been disclosed. Co-showrunner Chris Bishop previously told EW season 10 "feels like a huge reboot for us."

"This is going to be a family that has not reconciled the fact that their father's gone but has sort of moved on and has dealt with a lot of that," Bishop said. "So we're starting with optimism about a baby coming and looking forward to the future. It's an opportunity for this interesting emotional basis for the way people are behaving. But Jeff won't be in the series this year, and so far the stories have been largely about looking forward rather than looking back."

Wendi McLendon-Covey says The Goldbergs killing off Jeff Garlin's character was 'a long time coming'

Garlin exited the ABC sitcom partway through season 9, after multiple complaints about his behavior on set.

As the beloved, bedazzled, shredded-cheese-wielding boss of the family on ABC's The Goldbergs, Wendi McLendon-Covey's queen smother, Beverly, exudes warmth and big-shouldered affection. But during a recent interview on Andy Cohen's SiriusXM show, the actress herself had no huggies or smoochies to spare for former castmate Jeff Garlin.
Garlin, who played her husband, Murray, for nine seasons, left The Goldbergs in December 2021 following an HR investigation into multiple complaints about his on-set behavior. (The actor maintained that he is "always a kind and thoughtful person.") Murray was killed off between season 9 and the show's 10th and final season, which premiered last September.
Appearing on Andy Cohen Live Tuesday, McLendon-Covey said Garlin being written off the show "was a long time coming, and that it finally happened it was like, 'Okay, okay. Finally, someone is listening to us.'"

At the same time, she added, Garlin's departure was complicated by the recent death of George Segal, who played Beverly's father. "To have to go through another loss on a sitcom, you know, you can't keep asking your audience to mourn people… That's not why they tune in."
When Cohen inquired further about the circumstances that led to Garlin's exit, McLendon-Covey asked to drop the subject, saying she was "exhausted by everything" and "the PTSD of it all."
She added, "I feel like the less people know about [the Garlin situation], the better. No one, no one benefits from knowing anything."

On a more positive note — one that Beverly surely would've appreciated — McLendon-Covey teased the Goldbergs finale, which airs May 3.

"I think the episode we ended on was a good opportunity for people to write fan fiction," she said. "Because it goes off in some interesting directions. So you know, if they ever want us to do a holiday episode or something like that, it gives us a, you know, something to work off of."

Guessing the finale will be set on New Years Eve 1989..
