Adam F. Goldberg is finally where he wants to be.
After stubbornly keeping The Goldbergs behind Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. last season, ABC finally moved it to Wednesdays at 8:30/7:30c this year, sandwiched between The Middle and Modern Family.
Fall TV: Scoop on returning shows
3. Back to the Future in the pastBack to the Future is having a moment (if you've seen the A to Z pilot, you know what we mean.) Another delayed tribute — Goldberg originally wanted to do it last season — the episode will be built around little white lies that get out of control. "Everyone kind of has that lie. All the writers had different stories. 'I told everyone I was related to this celebrity.' 'I was going to be on this TV show,'" Goldberg says. "Adam's lie involves Back to the Futureand hoverboarding. It keeps growing and growing and spiraling out of control." And yes, there will be a hoverboard.4. Adam and Barry "Are Not Gonna Take It" Like Goldberg and his brother Barry did in real life, their TV alter egos will also form their own band: a Twisted Sister knock-off band. "I just love that whole thing because my brother and I actually did stuff like that," he says. "I have videos of him rocking out and me singing Axl Rose or something." Goldberg reached out to Twisted Sister asking if the show could use their music. "They were really receptive, so it was really cool," he says. "Music is expensive and so hard to get. That's why I haven't been able to get Madonna or Michael Jackson yet." He went the same route to get clearance for Bon Jovi's "Livin' on a Prayer" in the season finale. "I wrote Bon Jovi and told them that I've been obsessed with them forever. That song was our favorite moment from my wedding. We played it and it was one of those songs that got everybody singing. They were like, 'OK, great.' So maybe I should tell everybody that I [played their music] at my wedding!" 5. The Right StuffGoldberg could not confirm or deny if New Kids on the Block was also pumpin' at his wedding, but it will be on the show. "We're batting around some ideas, but I'm sure that will happen this year," he says. "It will be in the back half. I'm really excited about it." While NKOTB will be hangin' tough with Adam & Co., Goldberg is holding out on his dream music ode for now: the Beastie Boys. "I feel like I have to have the show on for a while before I approach them. You only get one shot at that and they're so protective of their music, as they should be. I don't want to go now and have them say no and that's it. If they were ever to let me use their music, I would do an all-Beasties episode."Relive Beverly's most tragic — and ridiculous — parenting tales:
