It has been a tough year for The Goldbergs. The show started off this season covering the death of George Segal, who died when they were filming the season finale in March.
Then last month, they parted ways with Jeff Garlin, who was accused of abusive behavior. He was the other patriarch on the show.
So you would think after that ABC would just want to finish this season as soon as possible. I guess not because today Wendi McLendon-Covey announced the network ordered four additional episodes for this season.
My first thought was they did it so they could wrap up the show that has been declining since the real Adam F. Goldberg left the series.
However, The Live Feed thinks that ABC is just matching the order count of two of their other Wednesday sitcoms, The Wonder Years and Home Economics.
ABC has not made a decision if the program will be back for a 10th season. While it is their #1 comedy, it is also expensive. Did the loss of Garlin’s salary make it more affordable? We will find out soon enough.
Do you think it should get another season, or is it time to say goodbye?
