Watching the Goldbergs is weird.
It kind of got worse as the show progressed, but I still watch it, the characters got more annoying, but I still like them.
The point of this is saying that I relate to Erica Goldberg so much and we’re gonna talk about that.
She was kind of toxic and annoying at times, but none the less I felt a big connection to her. And for me, it happens a lot when I’m reading that I can relate to a character a lot. But with tv show, it’s a different story.
Eldest daughters are usually portrayed as popular dumb hotties, and at first, that seemed to be what Erica was, but she was so much more than that and it just makes me so happy. She got background, and depth, and she was soo sooo relatable.
For one thing, she wasn’t always popular and conventionally attractive (even in her ‘nerd faze’ I still found her cute) she was a nerd, and a fangirl. She didn’t become cool for attention, she just didn’t want to be so stressed out all the time, and the cool kids didn’t do extracurricular activities, they hung out. And that’s goals. I wish I was brave enough to just stop doing everything that stressed me out and became confident. She wasn’t a bully or anything, and her friends were nice, (at least Lainey was)
I remember in one episode, Adam was ordering illegal songs or something, I’m not exactly sure, and Beverly caught them and blamed Erica, then after prof was shown that clearly Adam did it, Erica was still blamed. She then went to the mall with Carla and when the two were put in mall jail for Carla’s shoplifting, Beverly comes in and yells at Erica for being irresponsible. Only to find out that Erica was innocent.
Another episode I resonate with is the one where Barry gets into college the same time Erica (who previously dropped out) did, he was mad about being overshadowed and being the middle kid (which was completely reasonable) at the end of the Episode Erica snaps and goes off about how she had to go through everything alone a first time and it was scary, but Barry and Adam have advice from older siblings about what to expect. And how she has unrealistic expectations placed on her. This was like my favorite episode.
So yeah, Erica Goldberg is a comfort character, and that was only one of the reasons.

the fact that Erica in the Goldbergs isn't a girl in real life is still funny to me. like. is Geoff a completely made up character or did adam goldberg sit down and go 'okay which one of my brother's friends is most likely to fuck my other brother'
