The Goldbergs: 1990-Something

**The Goldbergs: 1990-Something** is a special episode of the fifth season of *The Goldbergs*, produced as the pilot for a potential spinoff series titled *Schooled*. It aired on January 24, 2018.

## Summary

A *Goldbergs*-inspired special event, this episode picks up at William Penn Academy in the 1990s where now Head of School Jon Glascott leads a faculty of teachers with wildly different views on how to mentor students and recruits his tough-as-nails-sister Lucy to join his staff and enroll her teenage daughters, Felicia and Gigi, as new students. Lucy is desperate to ensure they avoid the social pitfalls of high school and finds herself torn between Glascott's nurturing and communicative approach to parenting and Coach Mellor's tough-guy belief that physical competition brings out the best in students. Even Beverly Goldberg comes to visit the school's staff (despite the fact that all of her children have already graduated) and can't help but meddle one last time.

## *Schooled*

The episode was originally developed as the pilot for a potential *Goldbergs* spinoff series called *Schooled*. In May 2017, ABC passed on the series, and the episode was subsequently slotted to air as a special during the fifth season. In April 2018, ABC announced that they had reconsidered and picked up a retooled version of the spinoff for a 13 episode season scheduled to air in the 2018-2019 season. The series premiered on January 9, 2019.

William Penn

**William Penn** (October 14, 1644 – July 30, 1718) was the son of Sir William Penn, and was an English real estate entrepreneur, philosopher, early Quaker, and founder of the English North American colony the Province of Pennsylvania. He was an early advocate of democracy and religious freedom, notable for his good relations and successful treaties with the Lenape Native Americans. Under his direction, the city of Philadelphia was planned and developed.

Seeing conditions deteriorating, Penn decided to appeal directly to the King and the Duke. Penn proposed a solution which would solve the dilemma—a mass emigration of English Quakers. Some Quakers had already moved to North America, but the New EnglandPuritans, especially, were as hostile towards Quakers as Anglicans in England were, and some of the Quakers had been banished to the Caribbean.[74] In 1677 a group of prominent Quakers that included Penn purchased the colonial province of West Jersey (half of the current state of New Jersey).[75] That same year, two hundred settlers from the towns of Chorleywood and Rickmansworth in Hertfordshire and other towns in nearby Buckinghamshire arrived, and founded the town of Burlington. George Fox himself had made a journey to America to verify the potential of further expansion of the early Quaker settlements.[76] In 1682 East Jersey was also purchased by Quakers.[77][78]

New Krypton

New Krypton is a habitable planet located in a unknown solar system orbiting a yellow star. This planet is home to survivors of Krypton's destruction who arrived using Argo City and after contact with Earth, several kryptonians have resurfaced and settled on their new home.

Several Kryptonians such as Alora Zor-El and Eli Del-Zod were born here.

## History

Unlike the bottled city of Kandor that came to fall into Kal-El's Fortress of Solitude. The city of Argo floated through space within the protective measures installed by Zor-El, the father of Kara Zor-El, until it found a suitable planet that luckily orbited a yellow star on the fifteenth year anniversary of Kara's departure from the doomed city via rocket.

One of the first things done when they arrived on their new world was vote for a leader, having forgone the ideal of using a Council of Elders and instead put faith in one person. Alora Zor-El, mother of Kara Zor-El, won by a majority.

The surviving population of over nearly five hundred began to spread across the planet, christening the world New Krypton and began attempts to restore their society to it's former glory with the information and technology Jor-El secretly exchanged with his brother-in-law to ensure Argo's survival. One of the few things they retained were the use of birthing matrixes which used collected DNA from citizens prior to the destruction of Krypton, using the new DNA Zor-El created a whole wave of new Kryptonians who were focused on rebuilding.

Within a year they had established three cities; New Argo, Xan and Yuda, but New Krypton was nowhere near the same level as Krypton had been at it's destruction and it wouldn't be until 2020 that it would be capable of space travel.

Due to the light years between Earth and New Krypton, only few travelled between the two worlds when Alora finally managed to locate her daughter, inviting Supergirl to visit, she stayed there and later settled down on the planet where she later gave birth to a daughter, Alora Zor-El.

Sorry

Eliza had lived a simple life as a homemaker, content with caring for her husband and raising their young son, Romeo. She had never imagined her life would take such a dramatic turn. But one fateful day, her husband was tragically killed in a car accident, leaving her a widow at the young age of 30.

Devastated and with a young child to care for, Eliza struggled to make ends meet. She worked tirelessly as a waitress in a local café, doing whatever she could to provide for her son. But despite her efforts, she felt lost and alone, grieving the loss of her husband and the life they had built together.

As Romeo grew older, Eliza began to notice the impact of the loss of his father on her son. He was withdrawn and struggling in school, often getting into fights with other students. Worried for her son's future, Eliza knew she had to find a way to help him heal and move forward.

Determined to give Romeo a brighter future, Eliza decided to go back to school and pursue a degree in social work. She wanted to use her own experiences to help others who had faced similar tragedies. She also hoped that by helping others, she could find some closure and healing for herself.

As she successfully completed her studies and began working as a social worker, Eliza's relationship with her son also began to improve. She understood his pain and was able to provide him with the support and guidance he needed.

Through her work, Eliza met other widows and their children, and she formed a close-knit community with them. Together, they found strength and comfort in each other's company and shared experiences.

Eliza's motivation and goal were now clear – to help others who had gone through the same loss as her and to ensure that her son grew up to be a strong and compassionate individual. She had found a new purpose in life and was determined to make the most of it.

As the years went by, Eliza and Romeo's bond grew stronger, and they both found peace and joy in their new lives. The young boy who had once been so full of anger and grief had blossomed into a kind and empathetic young man, inspired by his mother's selfless dedication to helping others.

Eliza's own growth and change were evident as well. From a grieving and lost widow, she had become a resilient and empowered woman, finding healing and purpose in her journey. And as she looked back at all that she had overcome, she knew that her late husband would be proud of the woman and mother she had become.
