The show had one mediocre first season and it's made its way to season 9 now?

What sorta bottom of the barrel events does the show have to pull from the 80's to justify it's "80's nostalgia" existence?

Take a look at how many live action network 30 minute comedies there are...there's a huge market for it so the bar is lowered enough for meh shows to continue

When and where does it air? Its network isnt it? A lot of people just have to watch what they can over the air waves, and most of their viewership is probably people who fell asleep and left the tv on. Thats how these things usually work.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say this is probably not at all how a show makes it to 9 seasons, lol

Hey, the same was true for The Expanse and look where they are, best sci-fi series of the past decade or so.

You probably need to watch the following seasons? (I haven't, btw).

Wow they're at season 9? I think I caught an episode where they were in the 90s at that point.

It's a decent show. My mom watches it sometimes and I've enjoyed a few episodes myself.

Oh trust me, I've seen plenty of it because my family watches the show. Imo, it only gets worse.

The show just suffered from heavy flanderization imo. I mean, in a way, the characters were flanderized from the start, which just makes it very tiring at the point it got to. I just find all the characters annoying.

Having grown up an hour away from where the show is set, having been born in 1980, and having the same exact sibling structure as the show (older bro, younger sis tho), the show resonates with me deep enough to give me goosebumps at times.

Are there many "family friendly" shows as competition? Modern Family is done. Goldbergs is a throwback to those 90's family sitcoms. And really, not every fuckin show has to be a cultural icon on par with Friends or Seinfeld. Goldbergs is still on because enough people watch it to make the network money. Some episodes are top-notch, but some are stinkers for sure.

I don't disagree with those statements; but I also don't understand how you can last that long if you don't hold some sort of significance. Shows that last that long usually have high ratings as contracts become more and more expensive as a show goes on.

As I said, though, imo, I just think the show has more stinkers than top-notch episodes (if I'd call any top-notch).

I like the goldbergs
The real adam goldberg was 14 when the 80s ended

Also he didn't have a sister
He had 2 brothers Barry and Eric
He turned eric into erica and her stories are based a lot on Eric's life but mostly her plot lines are original
