Last night's ending looked like the crew wasn't sure whether or not they were going to be back next year (ratings-wise they were OK, it was a question of getting the actors on-board with new contracts). I had heard that they hadn't planned an alternate ending if this was going to be the season series finale and it…

A couple of years ago when Mitch and Cam wanted to take Lily out of that mean teacher's class she begged them to let her stay because she felt she'd learn more there than in a nicer teacher's class. So it shouldn't have been a big surprise to them (not to mention they must have seen her report cards).

I've said this before (ad nauseum), but Alex's whole season 8 has been one gigantic why the face. I'm beginning to wonder if Ariel was stretching the truth about her deferring going to UCLA to focus on the show - the "heavy storylines" for Alex she claimed were the reason have just not been that heavy (or…

They actually had a (somewhat) logical explanation for Alex coming home this week - the noise from all the other kids at her dorm drove her out.

It will be interesting to see which direction this show goes quality-wise next season, with a season 10 already assured. Will they step up their game again or will this show really fall off a cliff (no I don't think they've reached that point yet - it's been a mediocre season but not a brutally bad one save for…

It could be worse - I use my 37" TV as a monitor…

That sounds reasonable - thank you.

I'm only a casual viewer of "The Goldbergs", so I wonder if the show has a history of anachronistic issues - "The Day After" aired in November 1983, while "Wind Beneath My Wings" (the song Adam chose for his videos) didn't even come out until near the end of the decade (it reached #1 in the summer of 1989). OK, it's…

Dwight would be #2 behind Sanjay in my list of men with whom I'd most want Alex to be seeing (he seems like the nicest of her most recent men in her life, although I still think Sanjay is more compatible). Ben would be 3rd (having said that he's not a bad choice - Alex seems really into him right now - just not near…

I want to believe it's hard to believe, but I still can hear that paranoid voice in my head.

That makes sense, given her "Devil's brew" comment before she got shot (which actually hit a little close to reality).

I thought Alex looked adorable as a schoolmarm (or whatever she was supposed to be), but the dark side of my mind wonders if someone on the show was trying to send a "message" to Ariel Winter about some of her real-life wardrobe choices (I'm not a fan of her more daring outfits myself, but it's her choice how she…

It's an interesting storyline possibility, but I don't really think Pam would go for it.

3232 maybe…

I've be happier if it weren't for the fact that save for the one with Sanjay most of Alex's relationships have had a life span similar to that of a housefly.

There's a documentary about one of the funniest movies ever? Surely you can't be serious…

I'm not nearly as sure - the longer things go without a deal being reached for new contracts with the actors (the sticking point AFAIK - ratings wise the show would still be a likely renewal but for that) the less likely it seems to me that a deal will be made.

I don't think Ben looks all that old/weird - just nerdy. The actor's 33 (seven years older than the character) which is in range of how old he looks.

Mock me all you want, but I got teary-eyed watching Bunny hand Alice that apology note for the broken guitar at the end of "Imaginary Mary" (I guess AV's not going to cover that show either).

Manny hasn't graduated yet - that's happening in the season (and series?) finale "The Graduates". As someone else noted he's just planning ahead.
