Link to the Show / Show NotesA final version, aired in syndication, was filmed in 1955 and aired on local stations until 1956. This version moved the Goldbergs from the Bronx to the New York suburb of Haverville. In a way this mirrored the real life flight of many Jewish families from the Bronx to the suburbs and other parts of New York during this period. However, this was considered the death knell of the show, as it was felt that the Goldbergs were only the Goldbergs in the Bronx. Also in 1955, Philip Loeb, beset by depression and unable to find other work, committed suicide.
The CBS and NBC episodes are largely gone, with only a couple of episodes surviving from the two runs. Most of the DuMont episodes survive at the UCLA Film and Television Archive, while the filmed episodes survive intact. This is great stuff to share with a friend. Click here to download the show.
