The life of a young teenager boy named Adam Goldberg, who struggles against living with his wacky family, has been changed completely, upon his birthday, where he dreams of receiving a car, as his birthday gift, but he shocked by receiving an unexpected gift from his mother, the thing that makes his rage.
If it's remembered at all after its quick disappearance - which, no matter how abrupt, will not have come soon enough - The Goldbergs will likely be known as the show in which George Segal's career was officially pronounced dead.
It's not just that they're caricatures, or that even the most prominent piece of '80s music used in the pilot makes you wince. It's the way every move and sentence feels like the easiest path to predictable gags.
Adam Goldberg isn't the first sitcom creator to try to capture something real but find his vision diluted by the great homogenizer that is the pilot process.
