(ABC/Scott Everett White)
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.
What do you think of the changes?
