The show is loosely based on the showrunner 's childhood, during which he videotaped events, many of which are reenacted throughout the program. It shows the reality of the ' 80s through a young boy 's eyes. The series stars Jeff Garlin as patriarch Murray and Wendi McLendon - Covey as matriarch Beverly. Their two older children are Erica ( Hayley Orrantia ) and Barry ( Troy Gentile ). The youngest child, Adam ( Sean Giambrone ), documents his family life with his video camera. Beverly 's father, Albert `` Pops '' Solomon ( George Segal ), is frequently around to provide advice or to help out his grandchildren ( often behind his daughter 's back ). The present - day `` Adult Adam '' ( Patton Oswalt ) narrates every episode as taking place in `` 1980 - something ''. Many references to real - life Philadelphia - area businesses are made, including the Wawa Inc. convenience store chain, Gimbel 's department store, Willow Grove Park Mall, and Kremp 's Florist of Willow Grove, Pennsylvania. Cast and characters Main cast Wendi McLendon - Covey as Beverly Goldberg ( née Solomon ), the overprotective matriarch of the Goldbergs. She frequently injects herself into her children 's lives, often to their embarrassment, and is supremely confident in their abilities. Sean Giambrone as Adam Fredrick Goldberg, the pop - culture obsessed youngest child of the Goldbergs. Smart and geeky, he often films his family 's activities on a VHS camcorder. He often ends up having to use his middle initial to distinguish himself from another Adam Goldberg who attends the same school and is also an aspiring filmmaker. Patton Oswalt voices the adult Adam Goldberg, who narrates the show from the present day. Jeff Garlin as Murray Christian Goldberg, the gruff, somewhat asocial patriarch of the Goldbergs. Unlike Beverly, he is realistic about his children 's abilities and believes she smothers them too much. Despite his apathetic tendencies at home, he values hard work and has held various full time positions since his teenage years. Though he does not always show affection for his children, calling them morons when they make mistakes or behave in silly ways, he truly cares about them and wants them to learn how to fend for themselves. He runs his father - in - law 's furniture business, loves sports, and is often seen lounging in front of his TV in his white briefs. Troy Gentile as Barry Norman Goldberg, the overconfident, slightly dim - witted middle child of the Goldbergs. Though seemingly untalented in every way ( except in ice hockey and wrestling, at which he excels ), he remains highly self - assured while trying to become popular in high school. He is determined to dominate everything he does, including sports ; loves rap music ; and is the leader of a crew called the Jenkintown Posse ( his fellow members repeat the initials, JTP, whenever they are said ). Hayley Orrantia as Erica Dorothy Goldberg, the somewhat bad - tempered oldest child of the Goldbergs. Smart and musically gifted but rebellious, she is popular in school and dominant over her younger brothers. As of the fifth season, Erica has left for college at D.C. School of the Arts. George Segal as Albert `` Pops '' Solomon, Beverly 's laid - back widower father. Though an elderly man with a number of comic eccentricities, he acts much younger than his age and often gives sage advice to his grandchildren. Adam considers him his best friend. He once owned a successful furniture store called Ottoman Empire that allowed him to retire comfortably, and he now lets his son - in - law Murray run the business. AJ Michalka as Lainey Lewis ( Season 3 -- 4 ; recurring 1 -- 2, 5 - present ), Erica 's best friend and one of the most popular girls at school, whom Barry has had a lifelong crush on.

Following the fourth season, she has gone to attend fashion school in Savannah, Georgia and ended her relationship with Barry. Sam Lerner as ' Madman ' Geoff Schwartz ( Season 5 - present ; recurring 2 - 4 ), one of Barry 's best friends. The nickname `` Madman '' is a form of ironic humor, given how well - behaved the character is, especially compared to Barry. He is infatuated with Erica and makes many futile attempts to win her affections. At the end of the third season, he begins dating Evelyn Silver just as Erica realizes she reciprocates Geoff 's feelings. He later breaks up with Evey to be with Erica.

On May 17, 2017, ABC passed on the spin - off, despite it reportedly testing very well - going as far to test better than the pilot of the original series. At the same time, Adam F. Goldberg revealed the title of the failed spin - off - `` Schooled ''. On January 8, 2018, it was announced that the pilot would air as a special episode of The Goldbergs on January 24, 2018, under the episode title The Goldbergs : 1990 - Something.
