Wendi McLendon-Covey is going to be on Sesame Street and she taught Elmo all about the word “strenuous”. But The Goldbergs’ sMother learned that it is very strenuous to teach Elmo about that word. Even though she ran for him and lifted a big huge rock for him, he still didn’t understand it. It was until she proved that she is no chicken and played a tough game of Tug of War that he finally understood the meaning of the word. Which is good for because I am not really sure how much more strain she could’ve taken by teaching him that lesson.
Good thing for her, she is back working on The Goldbergs now which is a lot less strenuous for her. You can see her in all new episodes of The Goldbergs as our favorite television mother of the new millennium on ABC starting September 24th.
If you are like me, then you are like totally missing The Goldbergs. You like totally hate the fact that we have to like wait until September 24th for an all new tubular episode.
Well, before you say, “Gag me with a spoon,” here are Murray and Beverly aka Jeff Garlin and Wendi McLendon-Covey getting down during a filming break with some bitchin’ moves. Like OMG, can they be like any cooler. So like awesome!
I don’t know about you, but this like will totally hold me over until we see The Goldbergs back on our TVs like every Wednesday at 8:30p.
We are about a month and a half away from the start of The Goldbergs’ season 2 on ABC (September 24th), and the real and fake matriarchs got together again. I always love seeing Beverly Goldberg with her counterpart, Wendy McLendon Covey, because you get to see what a great job the proud son did when he was looking for someone to play his mom. Which is a good thing for him because we have seen the show and we wouldn’t want to mess with the Queen of Smothers!
Seriously, is it just me or does the real Beverly Goldberg not look old enough to have a son who’s old enough to have created a show about her and their family?
Just Shoot Me’s Jack Gallo and Dennis Finch aka George Segal and David Spade are reunited for an upcoming episode of The Goldbergs. Seeing the boss and his employee together again brings as big of a smile to my face as when I found out the modern day ’80s sitcom is coming back for a second season.
On that note the season premiere for last year’s best show is September 24th, so mark your calendars not only for the show but also for this reunion.
Tonight at 9p it is time for The Goldbergs season, and I don’t want wait a few months until we get a new episode because the sitcom has proven just how special it is.
Tonight’s season finale is Murray-centric (Jeff Garlin) and we learn more about the patriarch of the family. Turns out there is more to the dad than just sitting in the chair in his underwear watching TV. Back in high school, he held the record for most free throws in a row and up until now no one has broken it. Since someone did, he is invited back to his old haunt to be honored during the game and a banquet afterwards. He doesn’t want to go, but Beverly (Wendi McLendon-Covey) forces him to go. Something he is happy about when everyone chants his name as he walks into the gym. About time he had this glorious moment on this show!
So while Murray’s being honored, the Goldberg kids are left alone. Barry (Troy Gentile), is not the cool kid like his dad. He realizes he can make a name for himself if he throws the party of the year while his parents away. Sadly, no one shows up until Erica (Hayley Orrantia) makes a phone call and everyone shows up. It’s the party that Barry always wanted, but does anyone knows he’s the man behind it?
When Bev and Murray come early, it looks the party is over. But is it? Will Barry have that epic moment? All I will say, is The Goldbergs uses Bon Jovi’s Livin’ On a Prayer, the way it was meant to be used. You will be screaming along as soon as it comes on.
So what music what we might hear next year? Over the weekend, I was Tweeting with, the show’s creator, Adam F Goldberg, and he hinted that the second season renewal means he will finally get to pay tribute to New Kids in the Block. But The Goldbergs isn’t only about music, it also about movies as we saw the show pay its respect to films like The Goonies and Return of the Jedi. What movie is left for him to honor? “Shall we play a game?” Yep, we might get to see War Games since it came out in ’80something.
Now that is all about what might happen next season, but here’s a little tidbit about tonight’s episode. Barry’s party turns into a sweater one. I know it isn’t a thing, but tonight it is! And the real Beverly Goldberg’s sweaters were used in the making of this episode. So keep your eye out for them! And a great episode with a sweet monologue from the little Adam (Sean Giambrone) at the end!
Then at 9:30p we get one final episode of Trophy Wife and you are going to hate ABC even more for cancelling this show.
It is Mother’s Day and Diane (Marcia Gay Harden) and Jackie (Michaela Watkins) are letting Kate (Malin Ã…kerman) take care of their kids for the day. Making Kate feel special until she realizes that Pete (Bradley Whitford) ex-wives lied to her so that they can have a kids’ free day. Now she is determined to find them. What will happen when she does?
Then there is Pete, who gets the lead of one of the worst cases his firm has ever handled. He has to make a company that caused an oil spill in the ocean look good. But the pressure gets to him and he is hospitalized.
So now all the wives and his cute kids are rushing to be by his side. What will happen when they all get together?
It is not as much about them as it is for us as our hearts break that this touching show will not be back for a second season. But at least we had this one.
