The Goldbergs join the E4 family

E4 today welcomes US series The Goldbergs to the channel family. Based on creator Adam F. Goldberg’s own childhood, The Goldbergs stars Wendi McLendon-Covey and Jeff Garlin as they raise their lovable brood of little monsters in 1980’s Pennsylvania.

Documenting the craziness of his family, 11 year-old Adam (Sean Giambrone) and his trusty video camera offer an insight into the reality of being a Goldberg. From an overbearing Mum and hothead dad to bossy older sister, Erica (Hayley Orrantia), Adam has his hands full. Oh, and not forgetting Barry ‘middle-child’ Goldberg played by Troy Gentile. Al ‘Pops’ Solomon (George Segal) completes the clan as a less than traditional grandfather whose behaviour rivals that of the most rebellious teenager.

The 23x30 comedy series - due to air on E4 in 2015 - will offer an affectionate retrospective to a simpler time before Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. Narrated by Patton Oswalt as the adult Adam Goldberg, The Goldbergs proves that you can’t choose your family but, given the choice, wouldn’t change them either. Perhaps just dial down the volume a bit…

The Goldbergs is produced by Adam F. Goldberg, Seth Gordon and Doug Robinson in association with Sony Pictures Television, and distributed internationally by Sony Pictures Television.
