So, evidently he's been a total a-hole on set and is leaving the show effective immediately per mutual agreement with the show's producers.  If I read it right, he's only one episode short of his obligation for season 9.


I thought the show was done after this year as it is due to running it's course, but now you kinda have to do it.

Where's Susie Essman to run him down when we need it?

Apparently, in addition to his alleged behavior, it's due to his actual behavior as well.

Show needs to end.... and I'm a big fan of it.

I know it does well ratings wise, but I kinda figured it'd logically be over at the end of this season with Adam graduating.

"So did you hear the Goldbergs got canceled."

"No it isn't. The Star just got canned for bad behavior."

"Yep, like I said. Canceled."

[Johnny B. Decent]

Holy crap, it has 9 seasons? I remember when ads for when it first started out, and I thought it looked like total dreck.

Maybe they will end the show finally. This season and last season were not good.

or just replace the late george segel and jeff garlin and totally no one will notice

The episode where Beverly mourned her dad, was one of the better ones, and I'm past tired of it. Plus, guy was rude on celebrity wheel of fortune. Saying he didn't care if he lost, because the charity gets money, regardless, and talking so much, that Pat Sajak said they could have had another round if he was quiet.

Yep the episode about Pops dying was the only good one to air in 2 seasons.

Add in that Barry now looks mid 30s and is suppose to be what 21 at the oldest...

As someone who considers himself a big fan, it's been time for about 2 seasons now.   Barry just seems kinda there, The Erica/Geoff relationship got boring and Adam is too old now.

It doesn't help that the network pretty much shut out Adam F Goldberg a couple of seasons back and did their own thing with storylines/theme episodes.

That's quite a zinger.

And yet I dare not look at Twitter because of it. Because no matter how in the wrong Garlin was, there'll be those types, right? No pun intended.

And heaven help me depending on what he believes in IRL. I'm glad that certain 2021 hot topics weren't mentioned. Not that harassing women is any better.

Never was a Goldbergs fan. Only when the episode looked interesting. They leaned on the 80s movie parody crutch too much.

Is Garlin still on Curb?

Everytime my sister sees the show she jokes that Barry is a guy in his mid 40s playing a teen

He's "only" 28.  But he looks 36

[jimmyjackezekiel]

I wasn't talking about Cancel Culture... I was just making a joke that a lot of shows don't survive losing their biggest star.

Has no idea this was still a thing 😳
