In the season one episode "Daddy Daughter Day," Beverly (Wendi McLendon-Covey) buys her son Adam (Sean Giambrone) a train sweater as part of his new school wardrobe. In discussing the show, Adam confirmed that his "crazy mom" did dress him in a train sweater. It won him the 1992 Philadelphia Young Playwrights competition. Pickup, which was inspired by his grandfather's battle with the disease. In the episode "The Circle of Driving," after Pops crashes the car into the burger joint, Beverly (Wendi McLendon-Covey) tells him, "Dad, your mind is not what it used to be." In high school, the real Adam wrote the play Dr. Though it's not focused on heavily on the show, Adam's grandfather (Pops), portrayed by George Segal, displays mild symptoms of what could possibly be the beginnings of Alzheimer's. The incident is depicted in the season one episode, "The Circle of Driving." "It's hard to argue about the veracity of the show when it's all true," says Goldberg.
At a press conference, a journalist was critical of the scene, implying that it was somewhat ageist. Adam recalls that his father, Murray, had to pay for the damage caused by Pops's accident, "which really pissed him off," notes Goldberg.
My siblings were so much older than me that they didn't want anything to do with me, they were kind of ignoring me." -The Goldbergs: Meet the FamilyĪctor Sean Giambrone (left) with an RCA video camera on the show and the real Adam Goldberg (right) with his video camera in the 1980s.ĭid Adam's grandfather (Pops) really crash his Trans-Am into a burger joint? "I think when you're the youngest, overlooked child, that's what you are a lot of times. "I definitely liked being an observer," says Adam of his obsession with videotaping. Why was Adam obsessed with videotaping and what brand of camera did he use?Īdam says that he used a "huge, clunky RCA camera," which is the same brand young Adam (Sean Giambrone) uses on the TV show ( ). What does Adam's real-life brother think of this gender change? "He was disappointed at first, but he has complete deniability of his character now." "I really took all of Eric's characteristics" and sculpted them onto a teenage girl's personality. "I saw more stories coming out of having a daughter in the mix," Goldberg reasons. The Goldbergs true story reveals that he did not have any sisters. Yes, but in real life, Erica is actually Eric, Adam Goldberg's oldest brother. Near the end of the premiere episode, "The Circle of Driving," non-1980s cars can be seen in the background as Murray (Jeff Garlin) sings REO Speedwagon's "Can't Fight This Feeling."

"I should be so lucky to be five years in on a show," says the real Adam Goldberg. The main reason for the mildly confusing (though often easy to overlook) issue with the show's time frame is that if the show was set in a specific year, like 1985 for example, the creators would have to wait up to five years (five seasons) to include references to certain '80s staples like Say Anything (1989), the Reebok Pump and the Nintendo Power Glove. At the beginning of nearly every episode of The Goldbergs, the TV show's narrator (Patton Oswalt) reminds us that the current episode takes place in "1980-something." As points out in their interview with the real Adam Goldberg, this ambiguity with regard to time finds the characters discussing Poltergeist, released in 1982, at the same time the brother, Barry (Troy Gentile), is super-excited about the Reebok Pump, which was invented in the late-eighties.
