In the latest Thanksgiving episode of “The Goldbergs,” Beverly isn’t planning to make Thanksgiving dinner for the family this year because of all she’s been through lately, including the death of her husband Murray (Jeff Garlin), but Barry (Troy Gentile) and Adam (Sean Giambrone) are so disappointed that she decides to make the dinner anyway.
But there are conflicts brewing in the family, like how Uncle Marvin is trying to impress his father Ben (Judd Hirsch) or Erica (Hayley Orrantia) is upset that her husband Geoff (Sam Lerner) is more focused on his hobby of running than helping her with their baby. Adam and Barry don’t want their mother to stop doing Thanksgiving dinners, so they set out to resolve the family’s quarrels, only to make them worse. The episode ends with a tumultuous Thanksgiving dinner full of yelling and recriminations, which Beverly finds to be exactly what she wanted out of Thanksgiving because it’s what their Thanksgivings are always like.
Fan reaction to the episode was very positive, with many ranking it amongst the best of the show’s Turkey Day episodes. “I Was Speechless During that Thanksgiving Dinner Table Scene ” tweeted @withonea. “Literally One of the Greatest Written Thanksgiving Goldberg Episodes.” Another Twitter user talked about the scenes with Erica breastfeeding. “[I] Appreciate the accurate portrayal of new motherhood in #TheGoldbergs!” wrote @AngiBelle. “I remember those days well. You really do feel like a milkcow.” User @sdaviss12 expressed similar praise about Erica’s scenes. “[W]hat a great episode! I loved the running gag of Erica and her brothers being weirded out … And of course Lou and Marvin crack me up!” So it certainly looks like “The Goldbergs” has pulled off another one of their classic Thanksgiving episodes.
