While The Goldbergs season 10 finally saw Bev admit to Adam that she exaggerated his talent and achievements, this only underscored how much the sitcom has changed its lead character for the worse. When The Goldbergs debuted, the show’s main character Adam Goldberg was a likable geeky teenager who loved comics, sci-fi movies, and toys. His mother Beverly was an overbearing but well-meaning figure. Her attempts to insulate her children from the realities of teenage life could sometimes veer into absurdity. However, Adam and his siblings kept their mother’s zanier schemes in check during the early seasons of The Goldbergs.
