Thanks to YouTube, I became acquainted with THE GOLDBERGS. But I mean the original sitcom of that name that started in about ' 48, while everyone else was watching the current show of that name!

Innumerable. But I couldn't stick with THE GOLDBERGS the new one, despite the talent involved. The scripts...feh. In fact, Patton Oswalt's THE HEART, SHE HOLLER was also a misfire for me...but, happily, there Was JUSTIFIED.
