Adam F. Goldberg is a fake, a phony and a fraud - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Wawwie · 06-25-2017, 09:56 PM

I was always a huge "Goldbergs" fan up until this very moment. Now that I know that it's true, now that I know that it's a fact that Erica Goldberg never existed, I just can't ever take the show seriously. Adam F. Goldberg is not a genius or a visionary. He is a sell out who sold out his oldest brother Eric in order to create a fake sister named Erica. This show is not about Adam's childhood, it is about fake fantasies. It is fiction.

I never thought any of it was a 100 percent real life, heck they've even said some of the stories were also inspired by other crew.

TV shows and films do this a lot. Take a story from real life and change it. The TV show wanted a sister for the show. This isn't a biography.

Wawwie, what do you think of every episode going in and out of the time period?

They don't seem to follow any rules on that show, just take the whole concept of continuity and throw it out the window.

They are worse than The Golden Girls or The Lucy Show.

Very true, but Golden Girls was always known to be fiction. The show never presented itself to be real in any way. Adam F. Goldberg proclaimed to be presenting a true history of his life. And now I know it's all fake. He is a liar. The women on GG are not liars, they are just actresses. Adam F. Goldberg is a phony who presents a fake depiction of his life... that never existed.

Torgo · 06-25-2017, 11:19 PM

So, what you're trying to tell me, is that Adam's uncle never really bought a De Loreon? None of the kids really met Charlie Sheen's character from Ferris Bueler's Day Off?
I am totally shocked!

Wawwie · 06-25-2017, 11:27 PM

Answer me this.... if you were ERIC GOLDBERG. would you be upset that your little brother turned you into a fictitious female named Erica???

Well this discussion reminds me of "Fresh Off The Boat" where the creator was upset because they used creative license with his childhood experiences.

Perhaps the network wanted a pretty girl with the nerdy boys.

Never saw "Fresh Off the Boat" so I don't know. All I know is that Eric Goldberg is Adam's oldest brother and Adam chose to deny him and betray him.

I didn't fully read the article I linked, did it say that in there?

Adam absolutely denied Eric. If my brother did that to me, I would never forgive him, but I guess that's just me. I have a problem with being denied and betrayed. I'm a female, so I would also have a big problem if my brother portrayed me as a guy. Call me kooky, that's just me. Sorry, I think Eric Goldberg was ****ed big time.

Well, maybe those two brothers can work out things eventually and have a confessional voice over where he explains that he was so mad at him growing up that he switched his gender in his writings but in reality she was a he!

Just like Roseanne on the last show making the "real" Jackie gay, Bev her mom hetero again and killing off Dan for her own psychological reasons.

I am not sure if I am making any actual sense here but I am trying.

Adam F Goldberg has said he changed the gender of Eric to Erica to add a female teen. Nothing wrong with that. Sure, it's based on his life but he admits he added things. Also, the real Goldbergs were richer and the father was a doctor.

Roseanne was always pure fiction from the start, so there's no comparrison.
As for The Goldbergs, it's too late. Adam turned Eric into a girl. That's mean, vindictive and selfish IMO. Eric doesn't ever need to forgive him. What's done is done. There is no going back.

Side note: that's just horrible! I would never turn my brother into a girl under any circumstance.

OK, I need to get off of this subject, because it is infuriating me.
TEAM ERIC!!!

Well, I think my comparison was pretty good as it was based on Roseanne's stand up act that was based on her family life. Just like Ray Romano did with ELR.
