The Goldbergs - series premiere - "Circle of Driving"

THE GOLDBERGS is a family nostalgia sitcom about growing up in the eighties. The comedy is alternately shouty and coy, and I’m not fond of either. Humor based on bygone fads is terribly easy and cheap – variations of look at the crazy stuff people used to (fill in the blank - wear, eat, watch on TV); the other major comic strand, the dysfunctional wacky family, is as cliché as they come.
