Roku passed along the following information about The Goldbergs:

“The Goldbergs” is a multigenerational comedy that takes place when Reagan was in the White House, the malls were filled with New Wave fashionistas, and the Goldbergs were living large in the 1980s. Documenting his hilariously combative yet loving family with a video camera nearly as big as he is, 11-year-old geek Adam is witness to all kinds of insanity from his over-protective, over-the-top mom, quick-tempered dad, rebellious sister, high-strung brother, and super suave grandfather.

The cast of “The Goldbergs” includes Wendi McLendon-Covey, Jeff Garlin, Hayley Orrantia, Sean Giambrone, Troy Gentile, George Segal, Patton Oswalt, and Sam Lerner. “The Goldbergs” was produced by Sony Pictures Television and Happy Madison Productions.

In addition to The Roku Channel app for smart TVs, content from The Roku Channel can be streamed via the Roku app for Apple iOS and Android devices, and through a dedicated website at TheRokuChannel.com.

The Roku Channel offers more than 400 linear content streams of programming, including live news, sports replays, movies, documentaries, TV shows and music.
