alexa January 31, 2019 Share January 31, 2019 I am still bored. I am not liking the let’s pick a student to focus on every week. I am not into the main characters enough to feel invested. I guess I like the mix of families, friendship, and the school happenings on Goldbergs more. I wish the coach and principal were on Goldbergs instead but I understand why they brought them to this show. I guess I just find this show isolating only being at the school and not really getting to know the characters. Link to comment
biakbiak January 31, 2019 Share January 31, 2019 The kid who played Alex should play Nick Kroll’s son in something. He might be Nick Kroll’s son. 2 Link to comment
readster January 31, 2019 Share January 31, 2019 Little too on the nose about students who "purposely" try to fail in school because they figure its more fun and they won't need it later. Then get the reality check towards the end of high school or when they are out and people don't take their crap and they have rent to pay and realize their excuses don't carry anymore. 3 Link to comment
Pallida January 31, 2019 Share January 31, 2019 I appreciated Coach Mellor being good at math - and the underlying message that athleticism and academia are not mutually exclusive skill sets. I think I need a Coach Mellor to motivate me daily! 14 Link to comment
tennisgurl January 31, 2019 Share January 31, 2019 I wish there was a Coach Mellor App, that I could pull up to give me pep talks whenever I start to feel down on myself. 9 Link to comment
Lili February 1, 2019 Share February 1, 2019 Another Mellor-centric episode? I felt they could have saved this one for later in the season. But I did like the premise of him trying to prove he's more than just a gym coach. It reminds me of a history teacher I had in school, whom was also a gym coach. 5 Link to comment

I think I need a Coach Mellor to motivate me daily! I LOVE that Coach Mellor is stealth awesome. I would want more of him but I think they use him the perfect amount. The real Alex Piper totally cribbed barking like a dog in class from Darlene on “Roseanne” and he should admit that. I realized today that the theme song is adjacent to Blink 182 and that makes me feel all sorts of ways. 3 Link to comment
ketose February 2, 2019 Share February 2, 2019 So, was that supposed to be a like a round in a math competition or were they on that team for just one contest with one school? Coach Mellor had a good premise, though. If they have technical skill already, they need to learn how to be better competitors. They definitely show him as quirky, but not a joke, which is refreshing for a sitcom. 1 Link to comment

It aired right after the episode in which Lainey and Barry called off their wedding, so it didn't spoil anything.

You remember correctly. I guess from her perspective she tried to fixer-upper him after she decided to date him, but it didn't work. Edited February 3, 2019 by Noneofyourbusiness 2 Link to comment
Tabbygirl521 February 4, 2019 Share February 4, 2019 Don’t I remember an episode of “The Goldbergs” that ended with real home video of Barry becoming the new high school coach? I only watch sporadically so I could easily be confused. I’m just thinking if that happened, he and Lainey will probably cross paths again on our screens. Link to comment
