Predtým, ako sa objavili rodičovské blogy, trofeá za príchod a alergie na arašidy, bol jednoduchší čas nazývaný '80-ročná éra. Pre geekov 11-ročného Adama to boli jeho roky zázrakov a čelil im zbrane video kamery, aby zachytil celú bláznivost. The Goldbergs sú láskavá rodina ako ktokoľvek iná, len s oveľa viac krikmi.
