If you are wrestling with something to watch tonight, then I highly recommend you check out
The Goldbergs on ABC at 9p.
Return of the Jedi is finally coming out and Adam (Sean Giambrone) wants to be one of the first people to see it. Back in the ’80something, if you wanted to catch the first screening of a film, you had to camp out. So Adam asks his mom if he can do it and she says only if it his sister does it with him. Well Erica (Hayley Orrantia), doesn’t want to do it but does because Adam blackmails her. Now they are off to hang out with other Star Wars fans for a few days to see the third movie in the biggest franchise in movie history. When Adam goes to the bathroom, Erica’s friends walk by and invite her to hang with them. So she leaves the line and they lose their place and now he won’t get to see it until Sunday. So their relationship is deep doo doo and doesn’t look like they will ever reconcile. Will things get back to the way that they were? Or will Adam only have one sibling in his like?
When it comes to that other sibling, Barry (Troy Gentile), has been recruited to join the varsity wrestling team. Something he agrees to do because he thinks that jacket will get him the ladies. Only thing is that he needs a parents’ approval and his mom (Wendi McLendon-Covey) will never agree to that. So he asks his dad and Murray (Jeff Garlin) is more than willing to help him out because he was on the team when he was in high school. So Murray and Pops (George Segal) come with a great plan to hide the fact from his mom, only problem is that he is such a moron, he almost blows it on day one. Since it is Barry, she finds out about his secret and does the most embarrassing thing she has ever done to him during the show’s run so far. If you have been watching The Goldbergs since episode 1, then you know the sMother has done some horrifying things to her kids so this must be pretty heinous.
What is it? You just have to tune in to see it because you will be calling your mother on Sunday thanking her for not being a Beverly.
And believe me you don’t want to miss this episode because I love it so much, I’ve already seen it like 10 times. This episode will be on an endless loop on my DVR after tonight’s airing. I think my DVR might actually crash because I will be watching it so much. It is so rare to love an episode, let alone a show, as much as I do The Goldbergs, but it is worthy of not only my admiration but yours too.
So please tune in for one of the greatest sitcoms ever! And I am not just saying that because they actually showed the classic videogame Pitfall on it tonight. That is just another benefit of watching The Goldbergs, it helps you remember the best things about your childhood like it is today and not yesteryear.
