During the ’80something, Barry and Lainey dated on The Goldbergs. Then she got Schooled on love and broke up with him. However, they got back together in ’90something, only to break up again.
Sadly, we didn’t see what caused them to split up on yesterday’s season finale, so the Goldnerds were not happy with the shows’ creator. Adam F. Goldberg explained why it went down that way, “Getting hammered by fans which I expected, but still pains me. Due to actor schedules, we shot our CB/Lainey finale early. I wrote an epic episode giving Barry and Lainey an ending they deserved, but COVID shut down our set. Still grateful to the cast and crew for a great season!”
Coronavirus is ruining everything.
As we wait to find out if Schooled will be back for another season, we can play the highly addictive online game The Goldbergs: Back to the ’80s. It is as addictive as hairspray was in the decade.
Next week, The Goonies turns the big 3-5. In honor of that anniversary, Sean Astin, Corey Feldman, Jeff Cohen, Ke Huy Quan, Josh Brolin, Kerri Green, and Martha Plimpton reunited today to talk about the movie that still has a giant cult following.
So much so, Adam F. Goldberg dedicated two episodes from his sitcoms to it. One on his Fox show Breaking In and the other on his ABC comedy The Goldbergs. You can say he is a huge fan. How huge? He revealed, “For the last 9 years I’ve been secretly writing PART 2 for fun. It’s my masterpiece. I even had a big meeting scheduled with Richard Donner… canceled ’cause of the lockdown! THE GOONIES 2 WILL happen when life resumes. Promise!!!”
If anyone could write a sequel that is loyal to the original, it is him. I hope Donner takes that meeting as soon as he is allowed to take meetings again. Who doesn’t want a Goonies 2? And who doesn’t want it from someone who really idolized the original film?
I know it is a little premature, but let’s all do the Truffle Shuffle in honor of this most excellent news.
If you look at Jeff Garlin, you could say that he looks a little like Harvey Weinstein. You are not the only ones. Several people have said it to his face. The dad from the Goldbergs doesn’t like it when people call him that.
Today, the comedian took to social media, posted that photo of Fred Flintstone, and said, “This is who I look like. Please no more Harvey. It makes me sad. There you go.”
If you see him crossing the street, don’t call him Harvey because he will become cross with you. You cannot blame him. No one wants to be compared to convicted rapist.
Jeff Garlin was on Conan last week, and he told a story that we will never see on The Goldbergs.
Back when he was 20 and a virgin, he was a comedian playing the clubs around Miami. One night there was a woman who was heckling him. After the show, she ran into him and apologized for what happened inside the club. Then she gave him a kiss to seal the deal.
It did not stop there, she told him to follow her as she ran on to South Beach and stripped off her clothes. Once she got to the lifeguard stand, she motioned for him to join her. Being a good “Jewish boy,” he folded his clothes before he joined her.
As they were getting hot and heavy, he noticed someone was trying to steal his clothes. He ran after the guy, got his clothes back, folded them and went back to the girl.
How did he do? He says she did not heckle him for that performance. Good for him.
BTW I am pretty sure I know the spot where he lost V-card. It is a romantic place unless the cops are walking by. Talk about killing the mood.
