McClendon-Covey, Troy Gentile, Hayley Orrantia & Sean Giambrone)
Featuring
popular television star George Segal, The
Goldergs is running on Mondays at 18h00 on M-Net channel 101 DStv
Before
there were parenting blogs, trophies for showing up and peanut allergies, there
was a simpler time called the ‘80s. For geeky 11-year-old Adam (Sean Giambrone)
these were his wonder years and he faced them armed with a video camera to
capture all the crazy happenings in his surroundings.
The
Goldbergs are a loving family like any other, just with a lot more yelling. Mom
Beverly (Wendi McClendon-Covey) is a classic “smother,” an overbearing,
overprotective matriarch who rules this brood with 100% authority and zero
sense of boundaries. Dad Murray (Jeff Garlin) is gruff, hot-tempered and trying
to parent without screaming. Sister Erica (Hayley Orrantia) is 17, hot,
terrifying and not one to mess with. Barry (Troy Gentile) is 16, an overly
emotional teen with severe middle child syndrome. Adam is the youngest, a
camera-wielding future director who’s crushing on an older woman.
Rounding
out the family is beloved grandfather Al “Pops” Solomon (George Segal), the
wild man of the clan, a shameless Don Juan who’s schooling Adam in the ways of
love. When Pops buys a new sports car and offers his Caddy to middle child
Barry, it’s enough to drive this already highly-strung family to the brink of
chaos.
