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?
This show takes me back to growing up in the 80s. The vintage clothes, lingo, technology, music, and topics keep me and my husband laughing from start to end. The Grandpa is a very nice touch! We just found it this fall and have gone back and watched every episode from last year as well. It is the best sitcom on TV and will gather viewers as it continues. This is a character show just like Seinfeld and Friends. Please keep writing and taking us back to the days of Smother!
OMG! The Goldberg’s is one of the few shows on TV right now that I really look forward to watching! I’m a child of the 80’s and it always makes me say, “Oh my god, I remember that! Or, I did that too! ” Please renew it!!

PLEASE keep this show going!! It needs a third season!!! I know the following will grow immensely!! It is a great family show!!
I LOVE THIS SHOW!!! This is one of a very few shows I can watch with my grandchildren. It reminds me of when I was raising my 3 children. Please we need more family friendly programing like The Middles, Blackish, and The Goldbergs.
I didn’t start watching this show until a few weeks ago because my girlfriend said it was must see TV. I’m definitely a fan of the show. Even caught up with the rest of the episodes from On Demand. This show will continue to gain steam and new viewers
Absolutely love this show…so realistic and so funny! Please don’t cancel it!!!
Love this show! It’s a must watch. Its hilarious and sends a message that family sticks together no matter what. My son started calling me ‘smother’. I guess if I am a mom like Bev Goldberg, I’m good with that.
This is my new favorite show! My wife and I laugh non stop and Love the characters! ! I’m seriously hoping to watch The Goldbergs for many more years to come!!! It is Awesome! !!
We watch the Goldberg’s and laugh non-stop!! Entertaining from beginning to end. The music is awesome, it takes me back to the great days of the 80’s!! Love the mom and started calling my son “poopie” as a term of endearment….lol!

I was really looking forward to this as an 80’s girl and was soooo let down. Thought it was the stupidest show ever and was certain it would be cancelled after 3 eps. I need to stop underestimating how low the American public is sinking on what they want to watch between mindless sitcoms with actors they found from God knows where and reality TV.
