Murray Goldberg

**“***Stop Being a Moron!***”**
–Murray's main catchphrase

**Murray Goldberg** (born September 25, 1940; died 1980-something) was the husband of Beverly Goldberg and father of Barry, Adam and Erica Goldberg. He was portrayed by Jeff Garlin.

## Personality

Murray seems to often go along with whatever his wife Beverly says, even when he is not paying the slightest bit of attention and has no idea what she is saying.

He is shown as being strict and tough on his children, but really does care for them deep down.

He also makes sure they fend for themselves and makes a point to always tell them no whenever they ask him for something, because he believes that's what makes a well-respected father: showing tough love to them, especially with his daughter Erica (who is secretly his favorite child).

He is often in his chair in front of the TV, without his pants on and usually wears tighty-whities. In various episodes, Murray is ill-tempered and doesn't like anything that is expensive.

## Occupation

Murray owns a furniture store called Ottoman Empire. The store was previously owned by Albert Solomon.

## Education

Murray was believed to be a graduate of Penn State, but in "The Dynamic Duo", we learn that he never actually graduated because he fell one credit short. It's never mentioned where Murray went to school before Penn State, but it seems likely that he might've attended William Penn Academy as his children do.

## Romance

Prior to marrying Beverly, Murray was in love with and engaged to be married to a woman named Anita. He stopped dating her for unknown reasons.

Dan Morse

Template:Infobox Person**Daniel Morse** is a student at William Penn Academy. He is very unpopular and very insecere about himself, back when Erica was in ninth grade, it was revealed that she used to have a crush on Dan, and he was grossed out by her, but three years later, it was revealed that she became attractive and she was the one grossed out by him.

## Trivia

* Dan is one of the few characters that is hinted to be LGBT.
* Dan's character's storyline is weird, as Erica had a crush on him back when she was in 9th Grade, and Barry was friends with him back when he was in 9th Grade, and was thought of to be in the same grade as Barry, and even was on the Senior trip with Barry, in the episode, The Goldberg Girls, but when Barry graduates at the end of Season 6, he still goes to William Penn in Season 7.

- Although he could just be hanging around the high school, like Carla, Dave Kim's girlfriend who graduated already, does.

- Or, he could've just gotten held back, as he still goes to William Penn.

George Segal

**George Segal Jr.** (February 13, 1934 – March 23, 2021) was an American actor and musician. He portrayed Albert Solomon in the ABC comedy series *The Goldbergs*.

## Early Life

George was born in Great Neck, New York, United States. He is the youngest of four children; his oldest brother, John, worked in the hops brokerage business and was an innovator in the cultivation of new hop varieties.

Segal's family was Jewish, but he was raised in a secular household. His paternal great-grandfather ran for governor of Massachusetts as a socialist.

Segal served in the United States Army. While there, he also played in a band, which was called Corporal Bruno's Sad Sack Six.

## Career

Segal became popular in the 1960s and 1970s for playing both dramatic and comedic roles. Some of his most acclaimed roles are in films such as *Ship of Fools* (1965), *King Rat* (1965), *Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?* (1966), *The St. Valentine's Day Massacre* (1967), *Where's Poppa?* (1970), *The Hot Rock* (1972), *Blume in Love* (1973), *A Touch of Class* (1973), *California Split* (1974), *For the Boys* (1991), and *Flirting with Disaster* (1996). He was one of the first American film actors to rise to leading man status with an unchanged Jewish surname—thus paving the way for Dustin Hoffman and Barbra Streisand.

From 2013 to 2021, he portrayed Albert "Pops" Solomon on the ABC comedy series *The Goldbergs*.

Segal died of complications from bypass surgery in Santa Rosa, California at the age of 87 on March 23, 2021.

Love Ninja

**"Love Ninja"** is a song from Season 2 that is included in *The Goldbergs Mixtape*.

## Lyrics

<poem>
Well, it was just outside of Jersey
But not actually in the state
Donny drilled metal things in a mill
Danger was his fate
But his desire burned like fire
For a stealthy gal named Kate

She's a love ninja, a love ninja
Love ninja, snap the neck of my heart
She's a love ninja
Nunchuck my life apart

Roundhouse, face kick, elbow chop
Ninja stole my heart and she wouldn't stop
Bow staff, blow dart, samurai blade
Ninja went off like a ninja grenade
Girl chose smoke bomb, vanished in the sparks
She's so deadly like a robot shark
A robot shark, how sweet that would be?
Mechanical beast swimming in the sea...

Now, Donny loved her so deeply
He knew she would lie in wait
Slowly would move in for the kill
Was her plan for them to date
To get feudal was his desire
Might have to fight to get to fourth base!

She's a love ninja, a love ninja
Love ninja, snap the neck of my heart
She's a love ninja, love ninja
Nunchuck my life apart

Roundhouse, face kick, elbow chop
Ninja stole my heart and she wouldn't stop
Bow staff, blow dart, samurai blade
Ninja went off like a ninja grenade
Girl chose smoke bomb, vanished in the sparks
She's so deadly like a robot shark
A robot shark, how sweet that would be?
Mechanical beast swimming in the sea...

She's a love ninja, a love ninja
Love ninja, snap the neck of my heart
She's a love ninja, love ninja
Nunchuck my life apart
