What’s the story?
Farewell to The Goldbergs.
Where are they off to?
The hit US comedy drama, which began in 2013, is bowing out after 10 series.
Remind me of the premise?
The Goldbergs are Adam (the geeky youngest sibling), Barry (the hot-headed middle child) and Erica (the rebellious eldest offspring) who live in a suburban town with their overbearing mother Beverly and long-suffering father Murray.
Centred on a 1980s retro-fest of pop culture from TV, film, music, video games, toys and fashion, the storylines are loosely based on the childhood of the show’s creator, the real-life Adam F. Goldberg.
A decade-long run?
Indeed. Some 229 episodes. Although many fans would agree that it has gone slightly off the boil in recent times, not least with the departure of two linchpins from the main cast.
In 2021, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? star George Segal, whose role was as much-beloved grandfather Pops, died aged 87.
Later that year saw the sudden exit of Jeff Garlin, who played Murray, when the comedian and actor was written out following an investigation into alleged misconduct on the set.
What can we expect?
As the final series begins the sibling trio has moved home to be closer to their mother, bringing plenty of scope for calamity and chuckles.
When can I watch?
The Goldbergs, E4, Monday, 7.30pm.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
