My Dad vs Murray

Another week and another Goldbergs post...Repetition I know but this laughter is so important to me. If I can share this show with you all then maybe ABC will realize how awesome this show is and keep it going. 

The episode tonight was about Murray Goldberg, his chair and the war with his wife Beverly.  Murray does not like change and loves his chair.  My dad is the exact same.  He loves his chair in all of its many incarnations and hates change.  The music montage was the Glory of Love from Peter Cetera and Karate Kid 2.   Wow I thought it was just my dad and his chair, apparently he is not the only one.  I loved this montage that went on with the chair and several other areas in this episode.    LOLOL I can not get past how much this family reminds me of my own.  My dad resisting the removal of tightie whities from his wardrobe, the change to the microwave, and the tv that is the glue that keeps the family together...LOLOLOL

No matter how awesome the writing is, (thank you, Adam) this show would not be this funny if the actors did not have this most excellent comedic timing.  Jeff Garlin and especially Wendi McLendon-Covey are beyond amazing.   Loving this as much as I do I can not wait to see some of the other projects they have been a a part of.  Congratulations to the so far successes and I hope they continue!

Beverly's bangs got fried off.

The Goldbergs

I grew up in the 1980's.  I am not ashamed of this.  I own up to the lace gloves big bangs and all the other craziness that came with it.  This show is the funniest show I have seen in years.  On multiple episodes I have had to hit pause as I laughed until I cried.  This weeks episode was no different.

This week was the Goonies episode.  I love the Goonies.  I saw it probably 10 times in the theater.  I have seen it many more times at home than I can possibly count.  I know the dialogue by heart....embarrassing, really.  They re-enacted scenes from the original movie and they did it in such a way that was true to the original and yet nothing short of comedic genius.  I have not laughed so hard since before the Olympics.

I suppose it is because the Goldbergs remind me a bit of my family from back then.  WOW the nostalgia is so perfect and endearing.  I can not not watch this show.  Please...for the love of God, if you were around in the 80's please check out this show and make sure your friends do too.  It is well worth the 30 minutes and I promise it is a good laugh!

I hope ABC keeps this show going for a long while.  Congratulations to Adam Goldberg and to his amazing family.
