Everybody Hates Chris? It's just about like it. I don't think very much of it, but nothing else is on I like at that time.

I don't think the Goldbergs is anything like Everybody Hates Chris. I never even thought to compare the two shows until I saw this thread. If I had to compare The Goldbergs to any other show, I would think of The Wonder Years.

I like The Goldbergs a lot.

It looks to be based on the life of its producer who has the same name, plus they have home movie footage of the real family. I like the show a lot.

Adam Goldberg...the youngest child took a lot of footage of his family back in the '80s. I like the show a lot too. It's fun to see the real life family footage at the end of the episodes.

i think the only similarity to Everybody Hates Chris is that the show has a narrator - and plenty of other shows use that technique.

I love the show and hope more people give it a chance.

For having big stars in it, it's unwatchable IMO.

I'm giving it a couple more episodes then I'm done with it, George Segal and the actor that plays the oldest brother are the only 2 I like. The youngest kid is annoying, and since he's who the show is the main focus on, I'm not sure I can stomach much more.
