Livin' on a Prayer

[studioAT · 7/10 · 1 November 2020]

Murray discovers that the past sometimes is best left in the past, while Barry is very much enjoying the present, in another nice episode of the show, that is almost like a recap of all that has gone on over the course of this 1st series, at least in the life of Barry.

I've enjoyed the first series of this show.

Season overview

[Mr-Fusion · 7/10 · 22 September 2017]

"The Goldbergs" has been a textbook pleasant surprise; a show I'd written off but turned out to be pretty binge-worthy. It's not the '80s that sells it, it's the characters.

And 'Livin' on a Prayer' (finally) gives us something on Murray's halcyon days . . . before Barry steals the episode in a desperate bid to win over the hot girl. It's the kind of party that guarantees a several-week grounding and a fleeting glimpse of high school fame. What makes this memorable is that he's at his Barryest, totally letting his freak flag fly. It's an excellent way to cap off the season, and I'm ready to dive into the next.
