Synopsis
The Goldbergs (2013) is an ABC family sitcom you can watch online on iFILM — all seasons, from the pilot through the later years when the show had already become comfort-viewing for anyone who grew up in the 1980s. Creator Adam F. Goldberg mined his own suburban Philadelphia childhood for the material, and it shows in every embarrassing detail.
The family: Beverly Goldberg (Wendi McLendon-Covey), a mother whose love lands somewhere between warm and suffocating; Murray (Jeff Garlin), a dad who delivers most of his parenting from the couch in his underwear; and Pops Solomon (George Segal), the grandfather who is basically the only adult willing to take eleven-year-old Adam seriously. Adam films everything with a camcorder. His older siblings Barry and Erica fight constantly and occasionally team up against their parents. The eighties backdrop is thick with detail — cassette tapes, action figures, Saturday morning cartoons.
Each episode closes with actual home-video footage from the real Goldberg family, and that small touch does something the jokes alone cannot. Stream The Goldbergs online on iFILM.
