Contents
Characteristics
«Big Tasty»
Big Tasty is Barry’s stage name. In «Daddy Daughter Day», Barry asks Murray for 20 dollars. Murray says no, and Barry says it’s for Big Tasty and Murray shouts at his son, «who the hell is Big Tasty?!» and Barry states that it is his rap name. He mentions this again in a clip at the end of the episode where Barry is rapping a rap he wrote to Pops. In the last line, Barry says, «when I say big, you say tasty. Big. » Pops responds, «what’s going on?» and Murray shouts that Barry is a moron and to stop doing what he’s doing.
In «Happy Mom, Happy Life», when Erica is the new leader of the JTP (after the JTP kicks Barry out) they call Erica ‘Big E’, to which Barry complains that it’s way to close to his name ‘Big Tasty’, which will make people confused. In «Dungeons and Dragons, Anyone?», Barry creates a Dungeons and Dragons character called ‘Lord Big of Tasty’.
In «I Heart Video Dating», Barry’s stage name is referenced by Coach Mellor when he refers to him as ‘Coach Tasty’ when Barry temporarily becomes coach. In «The Spencer’s Gift», when Barry gets a Job at Spencer’s Gift, on his shirt, there is a label saying ‘B. Tasty’ a reference to ‘Big Tasty’.
In «Deadheads», Barry says Big Tasty whilst standing on the table.
Love Interests
Lainey Lewis
At the beginning of the series, Barry has had a crush on Lainey, a friend of Erica’s, for as long as he can remember, but she does not feel the same way. However, in «Livin’ on a Prayer», Lainey kisses Barry at a party and they gradually grow closer over season 2 and eventually become a couple.
In season 4, Barry and Lainey decide to break up because she is getting ready to start college far away, but they decide to stay together until she leaves. In «Graduation Day», Lainey and Barry break up and she moves away to attend college in Savannah, Georgia.
In «Girl Talk», Barry decides it’s time to move on from Lainey and begins to look for a new girl. Lainey later returns after dropping out of college and the two get back together. Their relationship progresses and they become engaged, only for Lainey to end the engagement shortly before the wedding is to take place and leave for Los Angeles to pursue her dream of becoming a singer, but promises Barry that when they’re ready, they will be together.
Lainey later returns to Jenkintown as seen in Schooled, and she and Barry resume a long distance relationship due to him being in the process of completing residency in Detroit to become a radiologist. However, they ultimately break up, as we learn in «Clueless», and Lainey becomes involved with CB.
Ren is a friend of Erica’s from college and eventually becomes Barry’s girlfriend in season 7, but breaks up with him to get back with her ex in season 8’s «Bill’s Wedding». She is based on Barry Goldberg’s real-life love interest.
The JTP
Barry is not overly popular at school, but is the leader of his friend group, The JTP (short for the Jenkintown Posse). In «The Goldberg Girls», Barry and the JTP help his mother try to find her own friend group like the JTP.
Occupation
In «Mini Murray», Barry asks for money from Murray to buy a pair of sneakers. Murray tells him that he needs to earn the money instead, and he begins working at the Ottoman Empire. He is surprisingly good at selling furniture, but Murray ultimately fires him because he wants Barry to go further in life than working at a furniture store like he does.
In Schooled, we learn that he has, in fact, followed through with his plans of becoming a radiologist and is completing his residency in Detroit, Michigan. However, in «Clueless» it is mentioned that he «ran off to Toronto».
The Goldbergs (2013-)
If you’ve watched The Goldbergs TV show, you’ve likely noticed a lot of Philadelphia memorabilia, including Flyers shirts, etc. In researching the true story, we discovered that, like on the show, the real Goldbergs lived in Jenkintown, Pennsylvania, a suburban borough located about ten miles north of downtown Philadelphia. During the episode «Kara-te,» Barry even wears a Jenkintown t-shirt that reads, «Jenkintown Karate Studios».
Why is The Goldbergs set in «1980-something» instead of a specific year?
At the beginning of nearly every episode of The Goldbergs, the TV show’s narrator (Patton Oswalt) reminds us that the current episode takes place in «1980-something.» As Vulture.com points out in their interview with the real Adam Goldberg, this ambiguity with regard to time finds the characters discussing Poltergeist, released in 1982, at the same time the brother, Barry (Troy Gentile), is super-excited about the Reebok Pump, which was invented in the late-eighties. The main reason for the mildly confusing (though often easy to overlook) issue with the show’s time frame is that if the show was set in a specific year, like 1985 for example, the creators would have to wait up to five years (five seasons) to include references to certain ’80s staples like Say Anything (1989), the Reebok Pump and the Nintendo Power Glove.
Has the show slipped up with regard to historical accuracy?
Yes. Although the show overlooks certain 1980s time frame issues, it has included some post-eighties elements in its story lines. «I know I’ve slipped up a couple times,» admits the real Goldberg. Near the end of the premiere episode, «The Circle of Driving,» non-1980s cars can be seen in the background as Murray (Jeff Garlin) sings REO Speedwagon’s «Can’t Fight This Feeling.» In another instance, they used the term «re-gift,» which wasn’t said until after the 1980s (Vulture.com).
Did Adam’s dad really walk around the house in his underwear?
Yes. Not only has Adam confirmed this is true, his close childhood friend, Chad Kremp (portrayed in the episode «The Kremps»), who lived across the street, remembers seeing Adam’s dad Murray walking around their house in his underwear and a t-shirt. -MontgomeryNews.com
Did Adam’s real-life family yell a lot?
Yes, but in real life, Erica is actually Eric, Adam Goldberg’s oldest brother. The Goldbergs true story reveals that he did not have any sisters. «I saw more stories coming out of having a daughter in the mix,» Goldberg reasons. «I really took all of Eric’s characteristics» and sculpted them onto a teenage girl’s personality. What does Adam’s real-life brother think of this gender change? «He was disappointed at first, but he has complete deniability of his character now.» -JewishExponent.com
Why was Adam obsessed with videotaping and what brand of camera did he use?
Did Adam’s grandfather (Pops) really crash his Trans-Am into a burger joint?
Yes. Adam recalls that his father, Murray, had to pay for the damage caused by Pops’s accident, «which really pissed him off,» notes Goldberg. At a press conference, a journalist was critical of the scene, implying that it was somewhat ageist. «It’s hard to argue about the veracity of the show when it’s all true,» says Goldberg. The incident is depicted in the season one episode, «The Circle of Driving.» -JewishJournal.com
Did his grandfather have Alzheimer’s?
Yes. Though it’s not focused on heavily on the show, Adam’s grandfather (Pops), portrayed by George Segal, displays mild symptoms of what could possibly be the beginnings of Alzheimer’s. In the episode «The Circle of Driving,» after Pops crashes the car into the burger joint, Beverly (Wendi McLendon-Covey) tells him, «Dad, your mind is not what it used to be.» In high school, the real Adam wrote the play Dr. Pickup, which was inspired by his grandfather’s battle with the disease. It won him the 1992 Philadelphia Young Playwrights competition. He was only fifteen at the time. -Philly.com
Yes. In discussing the show, Adam confirmed that his «crazy mom» did dress him in a train sweater. In the season one episode «Daddy Daughter Day,» Beverly (Wendi McLendon-Covey) buys her son Adam (Sean Giambrone) a train sweater as part of his new school wardrobe. Adam rebels by going shopping for a more hip wardrobe with Pops (George Segal). -Vulture.com
Did Murray Goldberg really own a furniture business?
Not exactly. On The Goldbergs TV show, the dad, Murray (Jeff Garlin), runs a discount furniture business. He had taken over the operation of the business when his father-in-law, Albert ‘Pops’ Solomon (George Segal), retired. This is where the show deviates somewhat from the true story. In real life, Murray’s dad (not his father-in-law) owned a furniture store called «Goldbergs» and Murray worked there until college. Instead of taking over the business like on the show, the real Murray Goldberg went on to become a doctor.
In fact, the real Adam came from a family of doctors. His grandfather on his mother’s side (the basis for Pops) was a Russian immigrant who was the first Jew to graduate from the University of Kentucky Medical School. He went on to become a psychologist. As stated, Adam’s father Murray, who passed away in 2008, was also a doctor, and his two brothers, Eric (Erica’s real-life counterpart) and Barry, both grew up to become doctors (Eric specializes in neurology and sleep medicine, and Barry is a radiologist). In addition, Adam’s wife, who he met when he was 16 at a summer theater program for high school students at Northwestern University, is a therapist (Philly.com).
Is the house on the show similar to the house that the real Adam grew up in?
Did Adam Goldberg really dress up as a Rubik’s Cube for Halloween?
Are the Goldbergs’ uptight neighbors across the street, the Kremps, based on a real family?
Yes. On the show, Beverly Goldberg (Wendi McLendon-Covey) is determined to make friends with her uptight and standoffish neighbors, the Kremps, specifically the mother, Virginia Kremp (Jennifer Irwin). She invites the Kremps over for a BBQ and the situation implodes. In real life, the families were indeed opposites. «We were your everyday family,» says the real Chad Kremp, whose parents, like on the show, had purchased the house across the street. «There were four boys, and we all got along and did things together. There wasn’t the bullying and the picking on each other like they did across the street. That was an eye-opening experience. The [brothers] punched each other — we weren’t used to seeing that.»
Chad’s older brother Drew remembers the people that his mother had purchased the house from telling her, «. this is such a great neighborhood, except for the Goldbergs — they’re kinda crazy. [As] it turned out, they ended up being our best friends.» Chad and Adam were always at each other’s houses. In fact, Chad sent Adam around forty VHS tapes of footage from their days spent making home movies together with their camcorders. Adam used Chad’s tapes along with his own to come up with ideas for the show.
Like on the show, the Kremps owned a local florist shop, Kremp Florist, in Willow Grove. Chad grew up to run the business with his family, currently holding the title of Vice-President Sales. The real Chad Kremp has a cameo in «The Kremps» episode. He appears near the end of the episode in a deli scene where he portrays an employee who is yelled at by the actress playing his mother (MontgomeryNews.com). Read Chad Kremp’s article about growing up with Adam.
«Yes, it’s real,» says Adam, «and yes, there were many rules. Some even involve back rubs.» During The Goldbergs season one Thanksgiving episode «Stop Arguing And Start Thanking,» Adam and his brother play an indoor game that they made up called Ball-Ball. In a post on the official Goldbergs TV show Facebook page, Adam F. Goldberg shared the rules of Ball-Ball, which we’ve re-posted (click image to enlarge the rules).
How accurate is Adam’s bedroom on the show?
In addition to many of the toys, «All of the posters on the show were posters I had in my room as a kid,» says Adam, «except for Time Bandits and Revenge of the Jedi. I always wanted those and could never find then. Sue me. It’s wish fulfillment.» In exploring The Goldbergs true story, we learned that Adam also had the Star Wars bed sheets and a Black Hole sleeping bag. -Dinosaur Dracula
Did the real Adam Goldberg own all the toys seen on the show, including the 7’6″ G.I. Joe U.S.S. Flagg Aircraft Carrier?
«YES — in a sense,» writes Adam in a reply to Dinosaur Dracula‘s article about the toys seen in the episode «You’re Under Foot.» Adam states, «My best friend Chad Kremp who lived across the street (seen in the episode The Kremps) owned Flagg and almost every Joe. And my house was his house and vice versa (we all had a friend like this growing up) so I constantly had his toys. Did I OWN Flagg? No. Did I play with it like it was mine? Yes. So I bought no G.I. Joes cause Chad had that covered. My jam was Transformers, Go-Bots, Thundercats, He-Man, M.A.S.K., Star Wars and my favorite — Godaikins (especially Go Lion i.e. Voltron).» Adam states that he also owned Jetfire (Transformers) but sold it along with his Godaikins to help pay for his wedding.
Is Adam’s crush on the show, Dana Caldwell, based on a real girl?
Yes. On the show, Adam’s mom Beverly (Wendi McLendon-Covey) is labeled a «smother.» In other words, she is a mother who can’t help but smother her children, to an absurd extent. In fact, an entire episode is dedicated to her smothering, titled «The Other Smother,» during which Beverly does battle with another mother who smothers (say that three times fast). In addition to what’s seen on the show, the real Adam offered another extreme example of his real-life mother’s smothering, saying that she «was so unable to part with [him] that she slept over in his dorm room the first weekend he was at college.» -The Goldbergs Official Facebook Page
Is «The Goldbergs» Adam’s original title for the show?
No. The true story reveals that Adam’s original title for the show was «How the F*** Am I Normal,» but ABC execs vetoed it. However, it was the title that Adam used when he pitched the show to ABC. -TheJewishWeek.com
Yes. «The Goonies is my favorite movie of all time,» Goldberg told TVGuide.com. «It’s the reason I’m a writer. I’ve seen it a billion times. I would reenact it. I wrote Goonies scripts as a kid. I collect props and memorabilia.» He pays tribute to The Goonies with the episode «Goldbergs Never Say Die,» during which Adam (Sean Giambrone) finds a treasure map in the attic, sparking him to embark on a Goonies-like adventure with his siblings. The episode is not meant to be based on real life. Instead, it is meant to mirror the film and be a homage. Goldberg admits that the episode was never part of his show pitch to ABC.
Adam Goldberg is such a huge fan of The Goonies that he developed a pitch for a sequel and a 20-page pitch for a Goonies musical. Doing so got him a meeting with Goonies director Richard Donner, one of Goldberg’s idols. He calls it the «greatest meeting and moment of my life and career.» -TVGuide.com
Did Adam really re-create Tron in his basement?
Yes. «. I did that,» Adam F. Goldberg confirms. -Vulture.com
The Goldbergs narrator is comedian/actor Patton Oswalt, who delivers a Wonder Years-esque voice-over on the show, portraying a grown up Adam (Sean Giambrone) recalling memories of his crazy 1980s family. This ode to The Wonder Years was no accident, as it is the real Adam Goldberg’s «favorite show of all time.» Patton Oswalt has starred in a number of television shows and films, including as Constable Bob Sweeney on the FX TV series Justified. Other actors who were interested in doing the voice-over include Tobey Maguire. -HollywoodReporter.com
How does Adam Goldberg’s real-life family feel about the show?
In 2007, when The Goldberg‘s producer, Doug Robinson, first suggested that Adam turn his childhood into a sitcom, the Hollywood TV writer was a bit reluctant. «I thought that they would kill me,» he said of his family. «And that people would run screaming from their TVs.» He changed his mind a year later following the death of his father, Murray, and the birth of his first child. He realized that his parents had raised him and his brothers (pictured below) with love and had done the best they could. And in the end, his mother couldn’t be happier with the show, «My mom thinks it’s validated everything she’s ever done.» (JewishJournal.com) According to Adam, his brother, the real Barry Goldberg (pictured center, below), wants to make it clear that «he does not run like a tool,» referring to the humorously awkward way that Barry (Troy Gentile) runs on the TV show. Other than that, the real Barry is a fan.
In addition to The Goldbergs true story information above, below you can view a preview for The Goldbergs TV series on ABC, which is based on Adam F. Goldberg’s videotapes that he made as a kid during the 1980s. Also, check out several 1980s commercials for products that are featured prominently on the show.
If you were a fan of G.I. Joe in the mid-1980s, then you will certainly recognize the iconic toy in this G.I. Joe aircraft carrier commercial. The USS Flagg appears in The Goldbergs season one episode «You’re Under Foot.» Adam (Sean Giambrone) shows his toys, including the Flagg, to his crush, Dana Caldwell (Natalie Alyn Lind). At 7’6″, the aircraft carrier is the largest G.I. Joe play set to date.
In early 1990, this Reebok Pump Bungee Jump Commercial was banned by several major networks and eventually pulled by Reebok after complaints from parents over the dangers of bungee jumping. On The Goldbergs TV show, Barry (Troy Gentile) becomes very excited about the Reebok Pump shoes during the episode «Mini Murray,» leading him to attempt a dunk in front of his family that doesn’t go as planned.
Watch the trailer for the ABC TV show The Goldbergs. Highlights from season one are shown, including an introduction to the characters, how they interact as a family and scenes from the premiere episode, «The Circle of Driving.»
