The Goldbergs

Description

Domestic comedy-drama centers on Gertrude Berg as Molly, a Jewish matriarch managing family life in a New York tenement.

The Goldbergs was a comedy-drama broadcast from 1929 to 1946 on American radio and from 1949 to 1956 on American television. It was adapted into the 1948 play Me and Molly, the 1950 film The Goldbergs, and the 1973 Broadway musical Molly.
