The Goldbergs Canceled After Ten Seasons

After 10 years, it's time for ABC to leave 1980something. The Goldbergs, ABC's nostalgic family comedy, will end its run after its current tenth season, with just eight episodes remaining in its run. The comedy series debuted on Tuesday nights in 2013 to middling ratings, but survived and flourished in its move to Wednesdays behind The Middle. It eventually became the block's lead-off series, but steady ratings declines and behind-the-scenes turmoil led to questions about its future in those later seasons. Eventually, it was downgraded to 8:30 ahead of its current season, perhaps a sign of things to come. Its current season - its first and only without longtime star Jeff Garlin - averaged 0.38 in the 18-49 demo, its first Wednesday season below the league average. Wendi McLendon-Covey, Sean Giambrone, Troy Gentile and Hayley Orrantia starred in the series as its titular family. The Goldbergs aired over 200 episodes over its run, launching one spinoff - the short-lived Schooled.

The Goldbergs Renewed for Season 10

One of TV's longest-running comedies, The Goldbergs, will extend its run to a milestone tenth season. The ABC comedy has long been a keystone of the Wednesday night lineup, airing as the 8 PM anchor since The Middle's 2016 departure from the lineup. Though its ratings have seen a marked decline in recent season, The Goldbergs remains ABC's #1 comedy, this season averaging 0.57 in the key 18-49 demographic. The show was the subject of controversy this season amid the surprising firing of longtime leading actor Jeff Garlin, due to alleged misconduct on the set. Garlin's ouster left the show's fate looking at least vulnerable, but ratings have more or less remained steady without him, and allowing the show to move on. Wendi McLendon-Covey, Sean Giambrone, Troy Gentile, Hayley Orrantia and Sam Lerner comprise the show's leading cast. This is a correct prediction for the TV Ratings Guide.

The Goldbergs Renewed by ABC For Ninth Season

The longest-running live-action comedy currently on TV will extend its run, as ABC has ordered a ninth season of The Goldbergs. The family comedy has been a strong part of ABC's schedule since it moved to Wednesdays in season two, following a weak first season. The series saw a large 26% decline from season seven, but was ABC's #1 comedy this season, averaging a 0.66 across the season. It was also the network's #3 scripted series this season overall. Wendi McLendon-Covey, Jeff Garlin, Sean Giambrone, Hayley Orrantia and Troy Gentile star in the series. This is a correct prediction for The TV Ratings Guide.

The Goldbergs Renewed for Season 8

ABC's signature comedy set in 1980-something will return for an eighth season, with the renewal of The Goldbergs being announced today. The show has remained a solid performer for ABC throughout its run, even with its recent large year-to-year ratings declines. It has led the Wednesday night sitcom block on the network since The Middle exited the lineup in 2016, spawning a spinoff last season. Averaging 0.87 for season seven, The Goldbergs is the #3 sitcom on ABC this season. Wendi McLendon-Covey, Jeff Garlin, Sean Giambrone, Troy Gentile, Hayley Orrantia and George Segal star in the series. This was a correct prediction for The TV Ratings Guide.
