Documenting his hilariously combative yet loving family with a video camera nearly as big as he is, 11-year-old geek Adam is witness to all kinds of insanity from his over-protective, over-the-top mom, quick-tempered dad, rebellious sister, high-strung brother, and super suave grandfather.
The cast of "The Goldbergs" includes Wendi McLendon-Covey, Jeff Garlin, Hayley Orrantia, Sean Giambrone, Troy Gentile, George Segal, Patton Oswalt, and Sam Lerner. "The Goldbergs" was produced by Sony Pictures Television and Happy Madison Productions.
