The city is covered with posters promoting "The Goldbergs," a new ABC sitcom about a faimly in the '80s. I haven't watched a network sitcom in ages (Michael swears "That '70s Show" was quite good, but I've never seen an episode), but given the subject matter and leads -- Wendi McClendon-Covey ("Reno 911") and Jeff Garlin ("Curb Your Enthusiasm" -- I may just give this one a chance. The trailer is promising-ish, but more than anything I'm blown away by the fact that this "period" piece is a solid decade longer ago than "Happy Days" was for my Class of '59 mom when we started watching it 1974!
