One of my local radio talk shows talked about it all morning, it must have been a hoot!

I just watched this tonight after DVR-ing it! The reference to QVC was great! DD asked me if that was what QVC looked like back then. IDK, because I didn't start watching until 2006!

I love how they tie the real characters in with the actors who portray them. Tonight was great during the Eagles segment - the REAL JTP mixed in with the actors - just great! It was so much fun seeing the real Barry, the real Naked Rob, and the real Geoff - one of the best ophthamologists in Philadelphia, the real Matt, and the real Andy -- all cute guys!

DD said they had to do a tribute to the Superbowl since they talk about the Eagles on the show all of the time!

I remember in the first season when the JTP were at the local hangout and they mentioned Bradley Cooper, also from that area. In an interview he once said he came home to QVC bags by the garage door every day! His mom was a big QVC shopper - maybe she still is!

@QVCkitty1 I saw it. I love that show! I've read all about it (the real people, etc).

Actually, the woman who plays Beverly is very outspoken about how much she HATES that wig! Ha! She's a stand-up comedian and is very funny in her act.

I like watching it because it brings back memories of when I was raising my daughters.

I love this show and since I live in Philly I like the references to local places. I have a questions does anyone know what JTP stands for? Have they ever said?

Jenkintown Posse-I'm guessing that's the name of the town that they live in?

Ahh Jenkintown. That makes sense. Thanks @abbalulu it was driving me crazy wondering what JTP stood for.

The episode that made me laugh the most was when the family took Erica out to Beefsteak Charlies for her birthday and brought her boyfriend along.

I was crying because I was laughing so hard. Truth be known, I was able to relate to some of the things that happened. Not that I'd ever pull those stunts, but I know we would have loved to if we had the nerve.

It really cracked me up

@sunala That was our favorite episode too. We laughed hystericaly. Loved Bev's bottomless purse!

@DrKelli- I'm going to have to look at the ending again to see the "real" JTP and Beverly's real jacket.

Does that show crack you up or WHAT???

@sunala, the show is hilarious--absolutely hilarious!

The Goldbergs is ending with season 10. May 3 is the series finale.

I'm not surprised. I still DVR and try to keep up, but once the real Adam Goldberg left a few years ago it started to change.

Then with George Segal's passing and Jeff Garlin's firing the plot did change, even though the real Murray Goldberg, who was actually a doctor, did pass away.

I have to give them credit though. With Wendi as an executive producer I actually enjoy the story lines. I'm a big fan of Tim Meadows (John), and I like Erika and Geoff's story lines too.

It's always fun to see "Flo" from Progressive Insurance, Stephanie Courtney, as "Essie," one of Bev's close friends.

But I wasn't happy when they cancelled Schooled for Abbott Elementary. I liked how they used to end both shows with comments from the real people the actors portrayed!

I will miss this show!

I only watched it once because we only had one tv in those days and well, you know, you can't watch something nobody else really wants to.see. But I remember Molly-she was sticking her head out the window and yelling at somebody or God or I don't know who. She yelled, 'Whaddya want from me, my life?' hahaha. Oh, I laughed so hard and fell in love with her for saying that. I use the phrase quite a bit to this day.

What did you think of the last episode? I thought it was just okay.

Re: The Goldbergs

I have not watched consistently. I have caught some reruns on one of the channels and watched now and then.

I heard that it was having a series finale and watched. It seemed pretty entertaining. But I was surprised that Murray(?) -the father had died. Was that just for the last show or when/why did it happen ? I assume it was a heart attack as he hardly moved from his chair ?
