Is ABC Commisary still around at HS? As crazy as it sounds, this is one of our must-dos at HS as we LOVE The Goldbergs and always love posing with the Goldbergs posters and seeing the TV show memorabilia. I know they switch the stuff around in there, but does anyone who has been recently happen to know if The Goldbergs are currently represented there? :) TIA

Yep, still there! We ate there a few weeks ago. A lot of people don't like it, but we have had no problems with a quick CS there.

Didn't notice what posters were there actually!
 

My only complaint here is they keep changing the menu - so the menu is hit or miss for us each trip. I like the amount of seating and the restroom inside with a shorter line. As well as the air conditioning - nothing I had on my last visit is still on the menu. As Goldbergs was renewed for another season, I would imagine they would still have at least posters up.

You love the Goldbergs? That's awesome! They were my neighbors growing up and I have many stories about them. I even had a character based on me on the show ;) I'll let Adam know you enjoy it! Feel free to ask me any questions!

We didn't go for years because (1) we like the TS in the park (2) we liked the decor at Backlot and felt this had no theme (3) everyone says how inedible it is ................. well one rainy day we ducked in with our DDP to give it a try. Been back many times and never had a bad meal. Even took my Mom's husband who complains about everything, about died when he ordered the salmon, thought here we go ........... then proceeded to tell me how good it was.

And it has been only one of two QS with AC in the park too ......... so I always say give it a try.

It's on our DVR for all of us. The show is hysterical AND quite the flashback for many of us. Each week is like memory lane.

OMG!!!! It is our favorite show! My DD9 and I watch it together and we’ve seen every single episode! Which character is based on you??? SO COOL!
Okay, I have to ask if you remember Adam carrying around a big video camera all the time?
 
That's so funny! It's very surreal to have your childhood on TV. I was Dana Caldwell (Caldwell is my maiden name), Adam's first girlfriend. In reality, that didn't happen. He barely talked to me when I would come over to swim in his pool! I guess it was because he liked me ;) All of my neighbors are on there - the Kremps, the Schwartzes, Matt Bradley, etc. Naked Rob is my BIL's cousin! The episode tomorrow will have the real Beverly and our neighbors sitting at the next table from their characters. The actual JTP will be on an upcoming episode too. The #1 question I get: is Bev really like that? No...she was worse! This is the toned-down, Disney-fied version of the real Bev :teeth: And yes, Adam frequently had his camera out, especially when hanging with his BFF Chad (who was in ALL of my classes growing up).

Okay, this may be my favorite DisBoards post ever!!!! How amazing!!!! They sound just as fun as they seem on the show. What awesome memories! How funny that he wrote you in! Is that how you found out he liked you back then or were you already aware? ;) Beverly is THE FUNNIEST! Did she really wear those amazingly obnoxious sweaters? Thanks so much for the reply! This is making my day!

So glad I’ve found other people who like it too! We stumbled upon it and it’s now always on our must-do list! :)

LOL...I’m honored to be your favorite post! So here’s how I found out: I found out from Jenkintown friends (my sis even still lives there) that the show was happening. I wrote Adam to congratulate him and he said something like “there may or may not be a Caldwell family starting in an early episode with a little blonde girl”. He asked my permission to use my last name but changed my first. Of course I approved! He did regret not using my first name (he even said that was his biggest regret in a Hollywood Reporter article because he used everyone else’s full name). I watched the episode and realized he had a crush on me. I couldn’t believe it! Neither could my husband and 2 kids :p
Bev saves EVERYTHING so many of the sweaters used in the episodes are the real ones from the 80s. She even found a few more boxes so there are plenty for upcoming episodes. The biggest changes from real life are that Erica is actually Eric (there are 3 boys), Murray was a physician (he has passed away), and their house. They lived in this gigantic castle like mansion with tennis courts and a pool. Guess that’s not relatable. But the decor was even worse than what’s in the show. Yikes!

WOW! I hope Murray was around to see the show take off! Sounds like they were a fun family and wow, what a shocker to tune in and see that Adam wrote you in as his big crush! I love all this insider scoop- how cool!!! Thank you for sharing!
 
I never minded ABC Commisary, I like the slushie served there and it's a nice air conditioned place for a sit down.
 
The Goldbergs is such a gem of a show, it's a MUST for my kids...okay, we all gather round the TV! DH and I are 80s kids so, the trip down memory lane every week always makes us laugh. The cast is fantastic! There had been quite a drought of good TV for a long while until this aired.

Wow! "Dana" is on the Disboards! :woohoo:

Totally agree with all of this!

Unfortunately, Murray died years before the show started. As did my mother, who was shown getting drunk at a school dance (that didn’t happen either). Adam and I both thought our parents would have been thrilled to see the show take off like it did. And yes, Murray was frequently pantless around the house
