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?
We love this show! The local, philly,1980′ references, the family and most importantly ,some old fashion good moral lessons at the end of each show.My wife and I agree that Barry is the most funny; but they all are at times.Adam’s cutness, Grandpa’s wisdom, Dad’s eccentricities,the mom logic smothering, the daughter’s teen angst and all the neighbors & friends are all caricatures of people we have known. We would not like this show do be cancelled but we did not appreciate the wink and knod to the leftist views putting down stay at home moms,Ron & Nancy, conversitsm in general.Please… Read more »
love this show ,greetings from belgium
There’s always room for another season.
Cancelling this show is OK with me!!!
My husband and I love this show! It would be very disappointing not to renew for a 3rd season. We looked forward to our Wednesday nights because of The Goldbergs!
MY HUSBAND AND I LOVE THIS SHOW! Great throw back to the 80’s! What wonderful memories the show brings back! The music, the clothes, all of the 80’s references! The cast is GREAT, the show well done and very FUNNY! KEEP THIS SHOW GOING!!!
I love this show. Wendi and ALL bring out the best of the 80’s in a MOST comical way. Hope it stays on. Love this family!
I liked the show a lot until your writers thought using The Lords Name in Vein or as a exclamation point was good to do. I assure youths Goldbergs did not use that language in that era. As a result first time in show I delete it. Second I consider never to watch again. The Goldbetgs are on the fence
Seriously….
omg – right?
Renew this show! It is by far the funniest sitcom on TV right now! It is brilliantly written! I don’t understand how cancelling it is even an option! Keep this show for season 3!!!!
Please renew The Goldberghs I love that show and would love to watch it more often. It reminds me of myself since. I was born in the 80s. Please renew the show.
this show it’s better than Modern Family, I can’t understand why people like more that show, maybe cause there’s some gays and Sofia there.
This is a hilarious show! I hope they keep it around.
Our family LOVES this show!! It is hilarious! Our 9,14&18 year olds love it too! Please don’t cancel this show!
great show hardly watch any sitcoms other than the classics. This one is Great!
Please don’t ever cancel this show. We LOVE it!!!! Look forward to Wednesdays when we can watch & extra bonus when there are back to back episodes. Great idea for a show!!!!
I absolutely love this show. If it gets cancelled anytime soon, I will lose all faith in tv and quit watching it!
