Telly’s Take
I think fans of The Goldbergs have nothing to worry about. While the sitcom has slipped somewhat in the ratings, it is still one of ABC best performing shows. In addition, back in December, the network ordered extra episodes for the current fourth season. The show is doing so well that Adam F. Goldberg is developing a 1990s-set spin-off for The Alphabet Network, with EP Marc Firek. Barring some unforeseen catastrophe, I fully expect ABC to renew The Goldbergs for season five. It seems I must search for sustenance, elsewhere.
5/11 update: ABC has renewed The Goldbergs for two years — seasons five and six. Details here.

This is the best show ever. It’s perfect. If it goes off the air it would be the saddest day.
Absolutely love this show. There’s really no political agenda, they deal with moral issues but since it’s set in the 80’s they can be just plain funny without dealing with the drama we have going on in America today. I see a lot of myself in Beverly, and remnants of how I used to decorate my house back then too! My husband and I laugh out loud at this show and ourselves. Don’t cancel it, please.
Love this show! Started watching on Hulu and cannot get enough of it! PLEASE don’t cancel.
I love this show..its so funny and so true
Please don’t cancel the goldbergs make another season its fantastic and very very funny show I love it thanks RickLionheart
You cant cancel the goldbergs its the best show on tv as I was brought up with the 80s its so so so funny don’t be dicks ok thanks rick stark ie RickLionheart
Very interested to see what the show will be like without the daughter. Can’t explain why I always thought the show would be better without her in it so much and I am looking forward to/hoping the uncle is a more interesting character.
I love the 80’s, since that was my teenage years. The Goldbergs is one of my faves! Gonna hate to see Last Man Standing end. Tim is a funny funny guy.
The Goldbergs just has to be renewed for Seaon 5 -our favorite show!
The Goldberg’s just has the be renewed for Season 5 -our favorite show!
My daughter told me about this show in March. I have watched most of the episodes on HULU. This is the first sitcom in many years that I like. In fact, it’s the only show I watch on ABC.
We enjoy this show. Clean, no sex, no multi-culturalism, no attempt at brain-washing people… we can watch this without having to make sure no-one under 16 over-hears or sees anything inappropriate. Having said that, I’m sure that’s enough to make liberal media cancel it. I’m actually shocked that a decent, normal, hard-working family is depicted on tv! Please do not cancel but I’m not holding my breath
I look forward to coming home from work and reliving old memories. I would Ben heartbroken to not see many more episodes. Cancellation would be devastating. Please continue making my week better with memories of the past.
I love this show and so does all the family . The best comedy show out and you will have a lot of angry and disappointment people if it’s cancelled.
Please do not cancel The Goldbergs. I love the show an so do so many. I look forward to the night when it comes on. It’s funny. They are puttiny on such stupid new shows. The Goldbergs Is the best!!!!
