The Goldbergs

Couples Costume - S3-E6

Continuity mistake: Flashback scene in the beginning shows that Beverly Goldberg has always trick-or-treated with Adam as he was growing up and it was a tradition. In Season 1 episode 6 the episode is about Adam breaking his tradition of trick-or-treating with Pops.

The Other Smother - S1-E13

Factual error: In the video shop, when Adam and Murray wants to borrow Temple of the Doom there's a cardboard banner with C-3PO and R2-D2 behind Adam. But it's version of these droids from TV series The Clone Wars, which started in 2008 and built on the prequels which started in 1999.

George! George Glass! - S4-E3

Factual error: In the parking lot at Live Aid, the logo of the PAC 12 conference is visible on a sign in the background; an athletic conference that's made up of schools in the western U.S. and did not exist during that time period. (00:04:54)

Show generally

Continuity mistake: In season one it says something along the lines of Lainey and her mum are at home. And then in a later season it says that her mum left 7 years ago. Later in another episode it says it's been 4 years.

Yippee Ki Yay Melon Farmer - S6-E10

Other mistake: In this episode, Adam watches Die Hard for the first time. Earlier in season 2-1, he is shown wanting to watch Die Hard. Die Hard wasn't released until 1988 and the Goldbergs would have at least had 3 Hanukkahs before this episode. This is impossible considering the time frame at to be watching it at both times.

La Biblioteca Es Libros? - S2-E19

Question: Who is in the footage at the end of the episode? It shows Adam's real Spanish class, but there are two boys who both look like the real Adam when he was younger in his class. One sat down answering, and one stood up asking Spanish questions. It threw me off as now I'm unsure which is Adam and who the other boy is.
