The Goldbergs 448 Episodes
The Goldbergs is one of the pioneering programs of American radio, offering listeners a warm, heartfelt portrayal of family life that resonated deeply across generations. Premiering in 1929, the series followed the daily adventures, struggles, and triumphs of the Goldberg family — a loving, working-class Jewish-American household living in New York City. Blending humor, drama, and gentle social commentary, The Goldbergs became a beloved staple of early broadcast entertainment.
With its focus on relatable characters and authentic storytelling, The Goldbergs helped define the family-centered situation comedy, laying the groundwork for countless shows that would follow.
The Stars
The heart and soul of The Goldbergs was Gertrude Berg, who not only created the series but also starred as the family matriarch, Molly Goldberg. Berg's portrayal of Molly — warm, wise, nurturing, and endlessly optimistic — became an iconic figure in American culture. She wrote nearly every script herself, ensuring that the show remained true to her vision of family life.
Other major characters included Jake Goldberg, Molly’s devoted husband, and their children, Rosalie and Sammy, whose day-to-day experiences formed the basis of the show’s charming and heartfelt storylines. A rotating cast of talented radio actors portrayed the Goldberg family members and their neighbors over the years.
Key Dates
• The Goldbergs debuted on November 20, 1929, on NBC Radio under the title The Rise of the Goldbergs.
• It moved across multiple networks, including CBS and NBC Blue (later ABC), during its long radio run.
• The radio series continued until 1946 before transitioning to television, where it also enjoyed success from 1949 to 1956.
Other Information
The Goldbergs was notable for its realistic and affectionate depiction of immigrant family life, providing an authentic voice to an experience shared by many Americans but seldom represented in popular media at the time. The show blended humor with gentle life lessons, often focusing on themes of perseverance, kindness, cultural pride, and the importance of community.
The program also touched on broader social issues, such as assimilation, prejudice, and the American Dream, but always through the lens of everyday life. Its use of naturalistic dialogue, with Molly often speaking in a mixture of English and Yiddish-inflected expressions, gave the show a warm and genuine texture that set it apart from more exaggerated radio comedies.
Gertrude Berg’s work on The Goldbergs earned her numerous accolades, including the first-ever Emmy Award for Lead Actress in a Television Series in 1950 and a reputation as one of the first true multi-hyphenate stars in American entertainment.
Today, The Goldbergs remains a landmark in radio and television history, remembered for its tender, humorous, and humane storytelling — a timeless tribute to the enduring bonds of family and the spirit of everyday heroes.
