Last season, The Goldbergs wasn’t a big ratings success but ABC renewed it anyway. This time around, the execs have given it a great timeslot — sandwiched between The Middle and Modern Family on Wednesdays. Will the ratings rise so that it will be renewed for a third season or will it be cancelled instead? Stay tuned.
Set in the late 1980s, The Goldbergs, revolves around a family from Jenkintown, Pennsylvania. Youngest son Adam (Sean Giambrone) videotapes his family’s craziness and provides commentary as an adult (Patton Oswalt). The rest of the cast includes Wendi McLendon-Covey, Troy Gentile, Hayley Orrantia, George Segal, and Jeff Garlin.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
5/8 update: The Goldbergs has been renewed for a third season on ABC.
Final season averages: 2.18 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 7.04 million total viewers.

Due to a Nielsen glitch, some of the early ratings of the 2014-15 season were revised a few weeks later.
For comparisons: The first season of The Goldbergs averaged a 1.7 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 5.06 million total viewers.
Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.
What do you think? Do you like The Goldbergs TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or be renewed for a third season?
I love love love this show! Please do not cancel. I grew up in the 80’s and can relate 100%! I love the characters , the stories, and the fact that I can watch this with my kids and not worry about covering theirs eyes and ears!
The Goldbergs is a brilliant programme it has that wonder years feel but feels new the US have struck gold here
do not cance ldgergs show! I love it, love it, love it! Our whole family loves it! watches when ever we can find it, even reruns! over and ove rand over!
Absolutely love this show. All the cast are fantastic, but there is no replacing the actress that plays Bev – she is outstanding!!!!!
Brilliant
I’m from the uk and I’m loving the goldbergs. I hope e4 renew for series 3, 4, 5 ……. It reminds me of my childhood in the 80,s also it is comedy gold.
Love this show and the memories it brings back of a better time! RENEW!!!!
As someone who grow up not only in the eighties but in Jenkintown this show is my favorite currently on TV. I love seeing all the references of places where I used to hang out play baseball etc. I know it brings back memories for everybody who grew up in the eighties but for anyone who grew up find flowers and cramps it really brings back memories. I hope this show stays on for a long time
please excuse the typos as I was speaking into my phone of course I meant Kremps not cramps. And I still buy my flowers there. It’s also fun to catch the mistakes, which I bet are intentional to fit the script (couldn’t and still can’t buy beer at WaWa).
I think the “Goldbergs” should be renewed. It’s a good comedy but for the post generation of the”Wonder Years”. They share the same premise just two decades apart.
The Goldbergs is unlike any other sitcom on television. It’s hilarious and takes place during the best era bar none….the 80’s. I also love the way they use a narrator. ABC please, please, please don’t ever cancel The Goldberg’s. It’s very original and there will never be another show like it.
Great show my family loves this and The Middle…we hardly watch any other network shows….Everyone from myself down to my 10 year old laugh our a$$ off at most everything on every episode…
The Goldbergs and the Middle are the only reason for my family to turn the t.v. on! Kids, mom and dad all look forward to it. So, so funny. My 12 year old and all his friends and their families love it as well. Life as we know it will end if the show does. Please renew!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE renew this show for season 3, 4, 5, 6, 7…..and so on. I actually really dislike virtually ALL TV sitcoms, but I love this one. For those of us that were 80s kids, its not only funny, but very easy to identify with. This is now my favorite show and I watch each new episode several times on Hulu. In summary, ABC, don’t you DARE cancel this show!!!!
