The 80s comedy will air its final episode in May.
February 23, 2023
ABC announced today that The Goldbergs will be coming to an end after its current 10th season. On the air for a decade, the comedy seemed to nearing a conclusion after the loss of two of its stars in 2021 - George Segal, who passed away, and Jeff Garlin, who departed the show after misconduct allegations.
A consistently-reliable performer for the network, the series spent a good portion of its run as one of ABC's highest rated comedies. The show surpassed the 200-episode milestone last year - a truly impressive feat for a current live-action comedy.
Loosely-based on the childhood of creator Adam F. Goldberg, The Goldbergs takes place in the 1980s and follows an overprotective mother, her hot-tempered husband, and their three kids, who are a handful to say the least.
The series finale of The Goldbergs will air on May 3.

Without Segal & Garland, the show lost 2 great characters. Beverly has always been too much, but they helped level it out. Plus, if you are quick enough at the end of each episode there is a disclaimer that the show is fiction! That's because the real Adam left a couple of years ago & they had to invent the stories. I stopped watching halfway through last season. Not sad to see it go.

A bit overdue and I was not even sure I was going to keep watching after this season as Adam/Beverly/Barry have become even more insufferable and selfish as they do the same thing over and over. It has become groundhog day with every episode. Erica is the only one that has had any character growth. Very sloppy writing.

This show really passed its peak when Goldberg ran out of '80s VHS video clips to base episodes around. The best stories were taken from his life, and often seeing the real people during the show and in the credits was another big plus.
At some point it became a parody of itself. It helped that most of the cast seemed to like each other and there was a good ensemble. But ultimately it ran past its expired date. How long can the "kids" still be at home? How much can you twist the plot lines to do it?

Finally. Yes the tone changed seasons 5 thru seven. It was just "what 80's pop culture thing can we emulate and make you believe we did it." For those who started from the beginning enjoying the creators home videos and cool ideas. The show took a massive hit losing Segal. The show lost it's direction, but for a while the uncle character was coming in from the walking dead apocalypse and was enjoyed, and Tim Meadows had more screen time and balanced the awkward that is Adam's mom. I agree with earlier posters that the end of season nine could have been a finale. Maybe a two hour closing event afterwards. Season ten had potential if they just let Adam grow up and let him spend more nites over at his adult relationship Carmen's house. They sort-of "timelocked" Adam into a few repetitive character scripts for three seasons. It had good episodes. I will forget the smarm over the years.
Huh?

Season 10 was a mistake anyway.. I think they did it just to say there were 10 seasons and for syndication.
The "luster" this show had in early season wore off years ago.

I hope they make a prequel about 1780’s.

Definitely about time! After losing George and then Jeff, it has truly sucked. Beverly character is just too much to take more than a couple minutes at a time without them.

Bout time. As with any show featuring kids, from Brady Bunch to The Middle.....when they grow up...end it.

I don't really watch the show myself, but one member of my family does; I caught a little bit of last year's season finale and thought it was the series finale with how it was set up, so I was surprised when I found out that it had been renewed for at least one more year. In hindsight it probably would have been better if it hadn't been.
