The Goldbergs True Story: What Each Character Looks Like In Real-Life

ABC’s The Goldbergs is a loose biographical retelling of Adam F. Goldberg’s early years growing up in the 1980s — here’s what each character looks like compared to the real Goldberg family. From the first season of The Goldbergs, series creator, Adam F. Goldberg (who the main character is based on) cued audiences in on some of the more carefree moments of adolescence. The show even provides footage at the end of each episode, along with the occasional interview, of the true story that inspired the plot. Viewers get to see the real Goldberg family and gain insight into how the show matches the truth.
