S01.E20: You're Not Invited

[Stinger97]

"You're Not Invited" - Adam is very excited for his laser tag birthday party since he plans to invite Dana for the first time. But Barry thinks the theme is childish and agrees to help Adam organize a secret make out party in the basement. When Erica finds out, she tells a panic-stricken Beverly but Murray cannot be bothered to help stop the party from happening. Meanwhile, Pops and Murray are captivated by the opening of Al Capone's safe on television, on "The Goldbergs," TUESDAY, APRIL 8 (9:01-9:31 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network.

Wow.  I'm shocked they'll have a moment as SPECIFIC as Al Capone's safe opening (April 21, 1986).  I guess the "Nineteen Eighty-Something" intro may be a little half-hearted.

Not that this nails down the dates of any other episode.  That's not how the show works.

Will we get to see 80s Geraldo Rivera and his cheesy mustache?

I remember the opening of Capone's vault! I kind of wanted to find something exciting but I somehow knew it was going to be nothing.

Not as awesome as last week's episode, but still funny.  Pops still rocks!

A decent if not stellar episode. A good plot and good "awwwww" moment or two, but the actual jokes were a little weaker than the show at it's best.

[Stinger97]

I laughed a bunch, mostly because of Barry's ridiculous idea of romantic foods ("Soft cheeses, oysters, and onion dip!"). I also cracked up at Beverly's first attempt at a Bert and Ernie cake ("Bert looks like Sloth from The Goonies!"). Erica had her moments acting as the "smother-y sister."

Barry never fails to crack me up. He's just so clueless.

I can't help it, I just love Pops.

Definitely not my favorite episode...and they sealed the deal with a song by The Cure.

I forgot to mention that I loved the Bob Ross cameo. Like, any show that can drop a Bob Ross reference and feature a shot of the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, is alright by me.

True story - when asked to describe my past relationship in 3 words I said, "Al Capone's vault". I was surprised how many people didn't get it, considering they were young adults in the mid 80's.
