The Goldbergs: Season 1
DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:
The reviews here are filled with comparisons to “The Wonder Years.” While this is a fair comparison, this show is lighter. Perhaps it’s because the social shifts and struggles that defined “The Wonder Years” and that era (and which seemed to have returned over the last decade) did not define us in the Eighties.It was a good time to be young. You could still ride your bike around the neighborhood with your friends like Adam and the coolest kid at school was the one with the laser tag set, not the one with…well…I have no idea what makes you cool anymore, but it’s not laser tag. Video stores, where you could pick from a vast selection of movies. Answering machines, which made it okay to be separated from your phone for more than an hour at a time. The knowledge that good can overcome evil, that the Wall will (and at the end of the decade did) fall, that “it’s morning in America,” not the dark time before Armageddon. That childhood was indeed a time for innocence. That the worst thing the media could find to expose about your elected leaders was their inability to spell “Potatoe.” That was the Eighties. (To be fair, the early Nineties in the case of Potatoe-gate).- A Texan
OMG! If you were a teenager in the 80’s then you HAVE to see this series!! It is HILARIOUS and it will bring back SO MANY MEMORIES!! The acid washed jeans, the Caravecchi (sp??) jeans, the jean jackets, the big plastic earrings, the hair spray. It is just so funny. The way the family interacts is hilarious and heartwarming. I love how they show scenes from Adam Goldbergs real videos from when he was a kid. He wrote this about his own family. It is hilarious! We are hooked. It does have some swears, but it’s so funny that we let our kids watch it. It’s not in a malicious tone. It really is worth seeing. You won’t be disappointed.- Nancy cav
For some reason, I never watch these fantastic shows when they first come out. I usually get interested due to “word of mouth”. After hearing over and over that “you just have to watch The Goldbergs”, I picked it up when it was on sale for a very decent price. I was hooked after the first episode. It is hilarious! I was a child in the 80’s so it makes a connection with me….hard to say if a different generation would connect with it as I have. It is definitely worth a viewing regardless. Maybe it is a good thing to be late on the “bandwagon”, I have been able to view the three seasons (except for the remaining episodes this season) without waiting for months in between 🙂 .- Brock68
