David Hasselhoff is going to guest star as himself on The Goldbergs this Wednesday, a show that is based in 1980’something. Therefore, they gave him a wig that would make him look like when he played Michael Knight on Knight Rider.
Since the sitcom airs on broadcast TV, you would think they have wig money. I guess it all went to Wendi McLendon-Covey’s fake hair because The Hoff’s looks Hofful, as in awful.
The Hoff deserves better than this because I have seen better wigs on public access TV on Sunday mornings. And those are really bad, and even Jesus can’t save them.
Midway through the last season of The Goldbergs, Jeff Garlin and the sitcom parted ways. However, they never addressed his departure, so they used a stand-in and voiceover to hide his absence.
When the series returns on September 12th, his character will have died several months earlier. The surviving Goldbergs will all be moving on and living together under Beverly’s roof.
But how? Haven’t all the kids moved out? Co-showrunners Alex Barnow and Chris Bishop tell Entertainment Weekly that Adam will take a gap year from NYU, Barry didn’t apply for housing at his college in time, and Erica and Geoff will move in to save money for their baby. During the season, the newlyweds found out that they are expecting a child.
The showrunners are excited about this season and say they “have tons of momentum.” While they might, I think ABC should’ve cancelled it because it is way past its expiration date. It hasn’t been good since the real Adam F. Goldberg left. But what could they do? It is their #1 sitcom.
Before Hayley Orrantia sang Miley Cyrus’ The Climb on The Masked Singer, she was singing that song in her high school hallway. How cute was the 15-year-old back in 2009?
Before Troy Gentile was hanging with the JTP on The Goldbergs, he had a different group of friends on The Suite Life Of Zack And Cody. How cute was the 12-year-old in that 2005 episode?
Jerry Seinfeld and Ray Romano knew when to end their sitcoms. However. ABC doesn’t know that it should’ve let The Goldbergs end this season.
I don’t want people to be out of work, but this show is so past its prime that even putting it out to pasture can’t save it.
I mean, Adam is out of high school, Jeff and Erica are married, and Barry is doing whatever he does. That and they made Beverly as unlikable as possible. Plus, there is the obvious that George Segal, due to his passing, and Jeff Garlin, due to his firing, are no longer on the show.
I get that it is ABC’s #1 comedy. However, the ratings aren’t that high. I don’t think it would be missed.
Next season is going to be so unwatchable that they are going to regret picking it up as much as the fans will be that they did.
And I am saying as someone who was a fan of the show who still watches. Although, I haven’t enjoyed it in years.
