History Series / TheGoldbergs

* MyBelovedSmother: Beverly again. Hell, Narrator!Adam even calls her that.

* WhatTheFuAreYouDoing: Barry's attempts at karate in "Kara-Te". [[spoiler:He eventually manages to break a board, but Adam secretly used balsa wood.]]

* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: Beverly, of course.

* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Barry and Erica sometimes see Adam as this.

** The exact year is deliberately left ambiguous. For instance in one episode Adam and Pops are wearing Ghostbusters costumes which would put the time 1985 or later. But in another episode Murray is watching the Phillies in the World Series which would put it in either 1980 or 1983. Yet everyone is the exact same age.

** '''Beverly:''' Murray, wake the f**k up.

* TooDumbToLive: Barry veers into this at times: in the pilot episode, when he drives his grandfather's car for the first time (with the rest of the family in it), he accidentally drives into the garage door when he is supposed to ''back out'' of the driveway (to which Murray intones "I raised a moron"). In "The Kremps," Adam "challenges" (tricks) Barry into climbing up the tree in front of the house... twice.

:'''Beverly:''' Murray, wake the f**k up.

* MsFanservice: Erica, ful stop, in "Who Are You Going to Telephone?" The odd part is that she was dressed as JaneGoodall for her Halloween costume, though Goodall never bared any midriff. In fact, if her shirt was plaid and the shorts were denim, she would have been more believable as [[TheDukesOfHazzard Daisy Duke]].

* AnachronismStew: The show refuses to say specific years, as each episode begins with present-day Adam saying the date followed by 1980-something.

* Never trust a Trailer: The early advertisements made it out to be a wacky 80's period piece full of pop culture ala "That 70's Show." The 80's are really just background. It's really a character driven comedy about the family. In fact it could easily be updated to modern times and you could have the exact same show.

* TheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: Murray and Bev have a heartwarming moment at the end of "The Ring" when they finally kiss on camera.
